Nunn Senior, the boundary commissioners, held a court at the Town-ball, Hackney, for the purpose of defining the boundaries of the new borongh,comprising the parishes of Bethaskgreen, Shoreditcb, and Hackney. The pro ceedings created some excitement, the room being filled with parochial otlicers and electors. Major Bainbrigge said he should be most happy to take the suggestion of any gentleman present. He thought it would be better if an act was paused to in dude detached places in the borough. Mr. Ellis (vestry clerk of Hackney) said it would be of great advantage if the boundary was enlarged so as to take in that part of Bailey's-lane to the River Lea. The commissioner said at present Bailey's-lane was not built upon, but the probability was that in twenty years it would be built upon, and in that case the boundary, if not &Bend, would cut through the houses. The suggestion would be attended to. It would be as well to make the boundaries as compact as possible. A gentleman present said it would be more convenient if the parliamentary and parochial boundaries lk ere made one and the same. A Variety of suggestions were then offered to the commis masers, who who by th e i r a id procee d e d t o sett l e t h e boun dari ORI , INATION IN GLOCCESTER CATHEDRAL. —The Lord Bishop of Gloucester and I tristol held an ordination in Gloucester Cathedral on Sunday last, The following caadidata were ordained :—Deacon : Thomas Henry Barnett, Cheshunt College and King's College, London ; Alexaoder Charles Bulkeley, B.A. Gonville and Caine College, Cambridge ;William Daniel Pitman, 8.A., Exeter Co„ nage, Oxon ; St e ph en J ames Prior, 8.A., Emmanu el "Utte, Cambridge ; Herbert Goodenough Rogers, ILA., Treaty College, Oxon ; David Arthur I. osbrooke t*, 2 Stun- King's College, London ; Henry Harcourt Waters, " 1 " , Tripity College.

Schneider, the President of the Legislative Body, has made a speech at the opening of the railway between Chagny and Nevers. In this speech he said :—" It is thus that France, proud of her greatness, confides in her own strength. ' Jealous of no nation, she entertains no desire of conquest, but imprudent he wbo should dare to think of attacking, not her security, but even her legitimate susceptibilities or her national honour." This speech is reproduced by the Momiteur . du kgoir. The Patric of this evening, replying to the criticism of some French journals on the reserved attitude of the semi-official papers, the Patric and Conditutiotatel, with regard to Count Bismarck's circular, says :—" The governments which have relations with France know what to think of the pretended weakness and want of pride of which so couch is said. Our adversaries will not create a belief that events are not watched in France as they should be, or that the honour and interests of the country are not in hands which have known how to serve them, and will know Miaow to de fend them." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Sam 23, Evanplc. A royal decree, dated yesterday, has been pro mulgated to-day, dissolving the Prussian Chambers. It is preceded by a report, signed by the whole ministry, proposing and explaining the reasons for this measure. The New Prrissian Cross Gazette of this evening says that the treaty between the Prussian Crown and the Duke of Nassau, for settling the latter's claims, has been definitively concluded. The duke is to receive a sum of money in Prussian stock, and several castles in Nassau. All the Nassau domains remain, however, in Prussia's possession. The same journal says that the negotiations with King George of Hanover have likewise been con cluded. King George will also obtain a sum of money, but none of the Hanoverian domains. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, San. 23, EvarriNa. In to-day's sitting, the Lower House of the Reichsrath discussed the new penal law. They agreed to the clauses for the abolition of corporal punishment and the use of irons. The house also adopted a clause determining that henceforth the judges shall have the power to substitute the sen tence of imprisonment for life for that of capital punishment. It is stated that the financial arrangement which has been arrived at by the Austrian and Hun garian delegates is based upon a new proposal of the Austrian ministry to effect the unification of the state debt forthwith instead of in the ensuing year, as at first intended. According to the new proposal the amount which Hungary will contri bute towards the payment of the interest on the public debt would be 33,250,000 florins. The official Evening Post denies that General Fleury, who recently arrived here, is entrusted ' with a mission from the French government, and declares that his visit has no political object what ever. ITALY. FLORENCE, Sin. 22, EVIDI Fresh troops have been despatched to the Papal frontier. Advices received here from Rome announce that the Roman police are making many arrests.

The Rigsdag, which has been convoked for the 7th Oct., will be prorogued for two months imam& diately on its assembling.

THE AMERICAN PRESS ON THE ALABAMA CORRESPONDENCE. The New York journals of Sept. 11 and 12 dis cuss the now correspondence on the Alabama clues • tion. Tho Tribune comes to the conclusion that The United States and Great Britain are so nearly Weed that no insuperable obstacle appears to a speedy adjustment of the difficulty. The Journal of Commerce says : The British government is anxious to get rid of the claims. They are a owls of formidable proportions. It pleases England to be quiet. She is like a retired athlete, weary of the rough sports of the arena. But fighting is quite in the line of the United States. No love of ease, nor consciousness of old age and weakness, but only the laws of inter- national comity, restrain the Union from seizing and over running Canada. While it is for the interest of England, clearly, to adjust the Alabama claims with as little delay as possible, the United States find it to their advantage sot to bony up the settlement. For our side the case is improved by procrastination. The anxiety of England grows in proportion to the indifference of the United States. We can get far better terms from her now than we could have obtained last year; and she will doubtless be willing to pay more liberally next year than at present. The United States gain by waiting, because at any time the claims can be converted into a good cause of war, and the British eolonies taken as anindemnity or receipt in full. This is the state of facts, as it is reoognised by the people of the United States and Great Britain, though no hint of it is afforded by Secretary Seward or Lord Stanley. While the United Statesioccupy this vantage ground, they are yet, we think, not only fair, but truly magnanimous, in offer ing to refer all the questions at issue to an umpire by whose decision they agree to be bound. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. (REUTSVIS Exraggs.) PLYMOUTH, Sgrr. 23. The Colenso controversy appears to be carried on as warmly as ever at Natal. The Lieutenant- Governor and Mr. Keats are said to have attended the services of both parties. Of the seventy young people who were confirmed by Bishop Twells just before his leaving for England, it was asserted some had previously been confirmed by Bishop Colemso, while others were stated to be consider. ably below the age at which young persons are usually admitted to that rite in the English church. In the case of the Bishop of Natal verrus the Rev. J. H. Wills, the Bishop had applied to the Supreme Court for an interdict against Mr. Wills preaching in the diocese without the applicant's license. The hear ing of the application was before three judges, the I Chief Justice,Mr. Justice Connor, and Mr. Justice Phillips. The Chief Justice was for granting the application ; his two coadjutors were against doing so. The Chief Justice argued upon the principle that the court, being a supreme court exercising the powers of every superior court in England, was competent to deal with any case brought before it, ecclesiastical or other, and was bound to support the applicant in the exercise of any power apper taining to him as bishop of the English church, ex cepting such as the privy council had de clared the crown could not confer. Mr. Justice Connor assumed exactly the opposite ground, and a correspondent of the Cape Arfpu says with a happy stroke of wit, quoted a law case in the early Christian Church, reported in the Acts of the Apostles, xviii., 12, following the example of Gallio, and driving the bishop from his judgment seat, for he would be no judge of such matters,'" certainly not, because he careth for none of those things.' Mr. Justice Phillips said the Privy Council had decided that letters patent could not create ecclesiastical jurisdiction in a colony having a legislature, and he held therefore applicant to have "no control or authority whatever over re spondent." It having been declared that notwith standing the oath of canonical obedience of the Bishop of Natal to the Bishop of Cape Town, as metropolitan, no jurisdiction by compact or voluntlry submission was thereby obtained, how could there be any between bishop and priest when there was none between metropolitan and suffrage= I Had the applicant come before the court, not as bishop, but as trustee of the cathedral church, he, Mr. Justice Phillips, would have had little or no difficulty in deciding that the courtmust supporthim against the indecent intrusion of which he com plained. But taking the case as brought before him he could given relief. Mr. Wills hasreturned tothe Free State. The bishop had noted an appeal, but it would not be prosecuted. The Rev. F. S. Robin son had been staying in Durban, and holding ser vices there. Her Majesty's ship Jumna left Simon's Bay August 9, arriving in Algoa Bay August 11, en route for Bombay. Her Majesty 's ship Mullet was at St. Helena August 28. THE RECENT PRUSSIAN CIRCULAR. BERLIN, Szer. 24. The semi-official North German Gazette publishes the following remarks upon Count Bismarck's re cent circular Great general satisfaction will have been felt at the circular despatch lately addressed by Count Bismarck to the diplomatic representatives of Prussia abroad. The stand-point adopted by the Prussian government towards the South German States (the same as we long since pointed out as the only correct view) is based upon the acknowledgment that the task of linking more closely together the two portions of Germany rests with the South German States and not the Northern Confedera tion. Neither compulsion nor taking advantage of the more powerful situation the nature of events has granted to the North German Confederation, will deter mine whether a closer or more distant bond shall unite the German nation • but only the free will of the South Ger man States. O nly thus can we gain real Federal allies in the South German States, and at the same time advance within such bounds of wise moderation as shall afford foreign countries not even the appearance of a cause for mistrust, since Gennany thus united not only satisfies the national feeling, but at the same time affords a guarantee of international peace. Germany thus united, and afford ing free scope to well-founded individualism in addition to collective forces, ran have no further ambitious aspirations. Content in herself, she will see other powerful nations near her without envy. Aameciated with them in the com mon interests of peace, Germany will only make use of her power to maintain that peace should the necessity arise, but never to shake a condition of affairs fraught with so many blessings. Unalterably maintaining the rights of the nation to arrange its private affairs ac cording to its own will, and without the interference of foreign countries, though at the same time avoiding every thing which may wound the susceptibilities of foreign countries, Germany will advance towards her happy future by the path of peace. No doubt can exist that • nation advancing with so much moderation as under Prussian leadership is the case with the German people—a nation which so willingly respects every foreign nght— such • nation, we repeat, is entitled to expect that its rights will be respected by other nations in a similar manner. THE BISHOP OF ROCHESTER AND THE WEEKLY Oertftrosr.—The new Bishop of Rochester is doing his best to make himself acquainted with the spiritual wants of his large diocese. In addressing • meeting at Colchester on Friday, Dr. Claughton first pointed out bow inadequate were the incomes of many of the clergy to enable them properly to discharge the duties of their station. In many cases on an income of 200 f. • year the clergyman had to supply a stipend for the curate, to provide for the wants of his family, to subscribe to the maintenance of schools, to help the poor, and generally to carry on all those good works which of late years had been so multi plied in all parishes and in all districts. His lordship then reminded the laity that it was in their power to render peat assistance to the clergy, by giving largely in support of schools, and by alleviating the wants of the poor. The subscription list was an excellent agency, no doubt, but there was another and very ef cacious. way of helping the clergy, and that was by making liberal collections in churches. He thought this plan was the best which could be devised, for it introduced the habit of giving amongst the people. The introduction of the weekly offertory was the revival of an ancient practice, for it afforded a means of giving freely, lovingly, and habitually in the sight of God, according as men could afford. It was impossible for • clergyman to go visiting his flock without pecuniary means. In Kidderminster, when the rates of the poor were 9e. in the pound, if he bad not been able to go out with some silver in his pocket, he did not think he could have gone at all. No man could effectively point to heaven in a home where poverty and hunger reigned su preme, and in such • home it was impossible for the poor clergyman's most pions ministrations to prevail. THE BISHOP OF WINCHESTER ON TH.: CRISIS IN THE CHCRCH.—The Bishop of Winchester ham been paying an episcopal visit to the Channel Islands, which are in his diocese. After dwelling with satisfaction upon the increase of churches, he went on tospeak of thepresent critical times. On the one hand there was a widespread and increasing diffusion of errors, neologian, latitudinarian, and infidel, throughout all Christendom, propagated in many parts industriously by word of mouth, and elsewhere, if not orally, in works suited to the capacities of all classes, and circulated largely. On the other hand, there was a deter mined antagonism to the national church making stealthy but formidable progress by various plausible claims for privileges and immunities under the specious name of toleration. Among these especially there was an increasing tendency to test all institutions by their results ; and having alleged unfruitfulness against the church, her foes, in their own opinion, had proved its uselessness. On that ground it was especially desirable that the clergy at this time should be both earnest and learned :—"This is no time for folding the anus in slum ber, or for acquiescing in any low, cold standard of inoffen siveness, satisfying it may be the requirements of the law, but not of conscience. The very schoolmaster will shame the clergyman if he do not keep ahead of him in know ledge and intelligence and aptitude to teach." Referring to ritualism, tho bishop said that while there ought to be no mutilation of the services, no want of reverence on the part of ministers or people, no scant observance of times and seasons, which are faults of great magni tude—there ought, on the other band, to be no approach to that form of worship which speaks to the eye rather than to the heart, "or, worse still, which symbolises doctrines repudiated by our church at the reformation, carefully excluded from her liturgy, but surreptitiously reintroduced by what is called the educational power of ritual." He should express no opinion as to the report of the royal commissioners, se it would not be fair to do so till their final report; but meanwhile he feared that the ultraisms and extravagances of • com paratively few were bringing discredit on the whole body. " Like the sufferers under some contagious disease, they bring the suspicion of taint on all their companions, and subject the whole ship's company to quarantine. The whole church is brought into disrepute, its prestige lessened, its authority shaken. Essentials and non-essen tials become confounded, and calm and thoughtful men themselves find it difficult to know where to take their stand, where to draw the line, where to insist, and where to yield." The bishop concluded by calling upon the clergy to " preach the gospel according to the examples of the gospel ; so may we be built up together in the same faith, partakers of the same sacraments, strengthened by the same hope, governed by the same discipline, and firmly united in the same bond of charity." _ _ _ _ _ DEATH OF MS WICKHAM, M.P. FOR BRADFORD. —Mr. Henry Wickham Wickham, M.P. for Bradford, died at his residence, 12, Waterloo-place, Leamington, yester day afternoon. He bad been confined to his room for about six weeks part, during the whole of which period be was under the medical treatment of his neighbour Dr. Jones. He was tho son of the Rev. Lamplugh Hird, prebendary of York, was born in 1800, and in politics was liberal-conservative. He was a partner in did celebrated iron-works at Lowmoor, Yorkshire, and was on the com mission of the peace for the West Riding, for which divi sion he waa also a deputy-lieutenant. He was also chair man of the West Riding court of quarter Beslllolll and chairman of the Lanouhire and Yorkshire Railway Com pany. In 1852 he was first returned to represent the town of Bradford in parliament haring been an unsuccessful oindlelato in an election whisk took plant in 1847. ••THE HOMBURG QUARREL. Mr. Labonchere, M.P., writes to the Timm :- " Sir,—l trust that your sense of justice will cause you to insert this letter in your columns. I lUD not about to reply to or to discuss the article you have deemed it proper to write in relation to my conduct. lam anxious only to place some facts before your readers ; the inferences from then. I must leave to be drawn by those who read them. While walking on the Kursaal-terrace in this watering place I saw an Italian, named Farina, sitting at the same table, and apparently in conversation with three American ladies, who were frequently together. One of them was well known to me. 'When she left the group and, with her husband, approached rne, I, knowing Farina to be an unfit associate for honest men or virtuous women, felt it to he my duty to warn her against him. This caution was com municated by the lady to her friends. The natural effect of it soon became apparent to Farina. He appealed first personally to the lady's husband and then by letter. The only reply which he received from this gentleman was that he was ready to accept the responsibility of anything that his wife had said. So soon as I heard what had taken place I told my friend that by no code of honour could • gentleman meet Farina, and that, as I had made the aceu sation, I felt that I alone ought to maintain it, and alone take upon myself the responsibility of my opinion respecting the impossibility of • duel. In the evening I saw Farina, and told him that his application for redress ought to be tome. I was met by loud words anti a menacing attitude. As I had no wish to be a party to a personal altercation, I con tented myself with preventing his menace being carried into execution. The whole affair did net hud a minute, for the spectators, as was natural, interfered. He says he horsewhipped me. It is simply untrue. He cites two witnesses, Count Rocourt and Count Miraglia. The former has left ; the latter has addressed to me • letter, in which he says :—' I have the honour to inform you that I never authorised Farina to make the use he did of my name, and I have written to him to complain of this proceeding.' Here my part in this affair ends. I made no appeal to the police. They appealed to me. A promise was sought from ins that I would not molest Farina ; I gave it, and have kept it. There were others, however, Englishmen and foreigners, who of their own motion did communicate to the police their views of Farina's character. It was upon this information, since confirmed, as they informed me to. day, by communications from the police of France and Belgium, that the authorities here acted. It was no act of mine that caused Farina to be excluded from the Kursaal. I did not apply, nor should I have applied,to the police,for I had no thought or knowledge that the power of exclusion was exercised by them Indeed, when I heard that he had been excluded I told the commissary that I trusted this was not done on my account, as I could take care of myself, when he replied that the measure had been taken on other grounds. Such being the case, am I not right in saying that there are only three matters in relation to which I have to be judged by my constituents and the rest of my countrymen ? Did I do well in warning a lady with whom I was acquainted in relation to Farina's character? Secondly, was the warning made on sufficient grounds! And, thirdly, have I shown myself deficient in personal courage! We are all liable to form erroneous judgments, and mine possibly might have been wrong. I acted in giving the warning I did from the sense of a duty incumbent on a gentleman. If to-day I had to act in the matter again, I should do as I have done. Doubtless I am wrong if I cannot prove the charge I made, which was (it was not rightly translated in the English newspapers) that Farina provided for his expenses by means of a vile sod dishonourable nature ; but I undertake, and have undertaken, to substantiate this in the courts of this country, or in those of England, where Farina frequently resides. Lastly, as to my personal courage, those who know me, and those who saw what here took place, will, I think, acquit me of the deficiency Farina hints M. It has been open to him to come to the town of Homburg all this time. He remains absent. I do not court a brawl. but if ever he attacks me I shall need no help to defend myself. And now, sir, as far as I am concerned, this controversy has come to an end. I believe that I have done my duty; it has been a dis agreeable one, for it is no wish or habit of mine to render myself conspicuous either at home or abroad.—l am, air, your obedient servant, " H. LABOCCHEILC. " Homburg, Sept. 19." M. Stefan Poles, late agent of the Polish national govern ment at Stockholm, and who was a whored' to the pro ceedings, writes to the Times .—" The fracas did not last a minute. To the best of my belief Farina did not once strike Mr. Labouchere. On raising his stick to strike, Mr. Labouchere mired him any pushed him backwards with such force that I, who was standing close by, was myself almost thrown down by Farina staggering against me. I may also add that the two gentlemen to whose testimony Farina appeals have loudly protested against aso unwar ranted use of their names. DEATH FROM Civizers. —On Sunday morning a lad named Joseph Adams, aged 14, by trade • miner, re siding with his father sad mother-in-law, at Kate's-hill, Dudley, died, as alleged, from the effects of violence, in flicted by Maria Adams, the mother-in-law. It is mid that the lad had been subjected to a coulee of ill.trefttment, and on Monday last be was beaten about the body by the woman with a pike-handle, and, according to some state ments, was " bodged " in the stwasch severely by the same weapon. He complained of the injuries he had received, but continued at work until Saturday, but on coming home at about five o'clock be complained of illness, and at ten o'clock Mr. Mainwaring, surgeon, was called in, and administered medicine. The lad, however, died at about half-past two o'clock on Sunday morning. The police arrested the woman, and she was brought to the station amidst the execrations of oho mob, many of whom ex pressed • wish to employ Lynch law. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colo nist-offiee from the Governor of Heligoland. Despatches were sent to the governors of the settlements on the West Comet of Africa. [STAMPED, Id„ ADDITIONAL] THE BELGIAN TIE NATIONAL (FROM A CORRESPONDENT. BRUSSELS, MONDAY MORNIN4I. The great Belgian ride gathering opened yester day, one day before the Fkes of Independence, which open to-day. At theopening of the" Tir," which has some special features of interest for the FAiglish public, there was no public ceremony whatever. It was simply announced by a salvo of five cannons, and immediately afterwards the cracking of rifles sounded throughout the " Tir "building. At a later period of the day the official recognition of the " Tir " was made in the arrival of the Minister of th Interior, M. Vandenpeereboom, who was received on the dais of the oft-described building of the " Tir " by the president, M. Darley, and the council. A kindly greeting was given to the few English volunteers present, and anxious inquiries were made about the others who might be en route. Members of the council stated that they had readily taken steps to prevent another national reception, and they had hoped the English would have come as friendly visitors—as riflemen emulous of proving their skill before the target at the Chasm& Lou vain (as the Belgians hope to do next year at Wimbledon) —even if all international demonstrations were dropped. The paucity of the numbers of the volunteers may be accounted for by, on the one h►nd, the fact that there has been no organization of our crack shots as in previous years. and on the other, because there bays been no volunteer tickets issued on any of the English lines. Many of those who have found their way here, came by the Harwich and Antwerp route of the Great Eastern. The Belgians have been gainers by the international visits to the extent that they have this year opened as • new feature of their " Tie," a distance double as long as any which they have ever fired before, namely, 550 metres or about 580 yards, the longest distance at which they previously fired being 225 metres or 260 yards. The old tir stands undisturbed, and the new long range is • little further on the Chaussee Louvain, situated in a moat delight ful spot, where it is now permanently established as • place for Belgians to practise in, and at this time, for Belgians and foreigners, all corners, to compete at for • long aerie s of prizes, " with arms of war." It should be particularly noticed that the Belgians are so far a practical people that they do not encourage the shooting with any rifle which could not be used against the enemy in the field, so that, by these competitions, the sons of Belgium are measuring their strength with all corners, and are taught to be good sol dierly tireurs, not a mere body of dilettanti riflemen, with " fancy rifles," toy sights, and costly ammunition, such as the Wimbledon all-comers' prizes offer the only encourage ment to. The entries here, too, are very smell, from a franc for the five shots to two francs the five shots, spinet the 10s. and I/. entries at Wimbledon for the same num ber; and besides there are here a great many prizes, and • man who makes a " fluke carton" out of his five shots is as likely to gain a prize as the man who makes his five good bulls-eyes. In some of these shootings, the rifleman is allowed to enter at will up to • certain time; while in others he is allowed to shoot two series only. This plan is adopted at all distances. It may be men tioned, too, that this year there is to be special shooting by all foreigners belonging to • military body, and who are in uniform, and are, ►s well, certificated as efficient members. Stich members of • military body may shoot with Belgian military rifles, which will be " loaned " to them, for the prizes which in previous years were the special prizes of the Belgians only. Though there were no English compe titors for these prizes yesterday—and as most of them had only arrived in the morning at Brussels, after a night's journey from London, it was not to be expected they would shoot, even if they forgot the general regard paid to the day in England—there will be to-day, and the Belgians ex press the earnest hope that the efforts of retrangers may be crowned with success. Yesterday, it must be mentioned, set in wet, and the Belgians, giving • comical look at the humid descent, apologised to their visitors by a signi ficant reminder of what occurred at Wimbledon by touching their shoulders and mentioning that name. There is to be another public demonstration in which the King of the Belgians and the English will take a prominent part. A deputation, with a memorial signed by the Mayors of Manchester and Simi ford, waited upon the King, from the volunteers of Lan cashire in particular, asking his Majesty's permission to present him with his portrait, in commemoration of the cordial interchange of courtesies and hospitality between the two nations. His Majesty graciously consented, and and Mr. Charles Mercier, an English artist, was aomminsioned to paint the portrait. It is now finished, and some of the volunteers at present in Brussels have been allowed the honour of visiting the palace, where the artist has had his studio, for the purpose of inspecting this work of art, with which they are much pleased. The picture is a full length, life-size portrait of his Majesty in his uniform as • general, and wearing his many orders. It is to be presestod on Tuesday or Wednesday, publicly, a course which was not desired by those who commissioned Mr. Charles Mercier, but which has been urged by the loyal authorities and people here. DESPERATE STABBING CASE IN LIVERPOOL. At the Liverpool Police-court yesterday a young man, named Joseph Murphy, was brought up charged with having stabbed a carter named Thomas Davis. It appears that the parties had a quarrel in the previous day in a hayloft where they had been sleeping, when the prisoner drew a knife and stabbed Davis severely three times. One of the wounds, which was inflicted near the heart, at one time was thought to be fatal, but he gradually rallied, and is expected to recover; though he still remains very weak from loss of blood. Murphy was sent for trial. SHUCKING BLAST FU KNACK ACCIDENT. —On Friday night, at Messrs. Gibson's MiMelds Furnaces, soon after one of the furnaces bad been charged for the first time following the previous casting, three men, named respec tively Thomas Arnold, Hilaton (teaser) ; Joseph Cox, Blakenhall (keeper) ; and Edward Ellis, Gibbet-leas (helper), were at work in front of the furnace, making • road for the molten scoria to pass away with freedom, when one of the tuyeres of the furnace Must and blew out. just at the spot e here the men were at work, perhaps two toes of red hot °leder@ and lava. The force with which this storm of burning material came out upon the poor fellows was something terrible, and they were almost im mediately covered with the fiery mass, and their clothes enveloped in flame,. Happily the report of the explosion was heard round the works. The sound was too well known to lead to any doubt as to what had happened, and there was quickly plenty of help. The poor follows were very shockingly burnt, and were removed with as little delay as possible to the South Staffordshire Hospital. The fire in escaping front the furnace shot up • great height and sot fire to the timber incline by which the material are taken front the ground to the mouth of the furnace. Efforts were at oncecommenced to subdue the flames, a messenger was despatched to the police station at }Wilton, and Mr. Chief Superintendent Weise, with a detachment of police, were soon at Millfielda, with the town engine. There was an abundant supply of water from the canal, and the engine was so successfully worked that the fire was put out without the total destruction of the incline. Thus • serious loss, resulting from an inability to reach the top of the furnace for some time, was prevented. The injured men are so shockingly burnt that there is only little expectation of their recovery. They are all married. 1 and have children. A painful incident in connection with this accident is that Joseph Co: is brother to a workman who was severely burnt at the same place upon the same spot, • few weeks ago, by accidentally slipping into a well of burning lava. Joseph had taken his brother's place at ! the works, and they now occupy opposite beds in the same ward at the hospital. We have examined the tuyere, and we find indications of its having been burnt through, doubtless by the dropping upon it of the molten contents of the furnace as the mass gradually settles down. The I nose of the tuyere having been burnt, the water between the inside and outside lining of the tuyereeecaped into the furnace, and accumulated, the steam exploded, andcaused the accident. The tuyere was of strong 11-inch boiler plate, and had not been put in more than two days.—Birmiac. tam Post. THE VoLtra OF Nrrrcks.—Sow and plant net tles, says Mr. Xavier Garenne, and all the lar.des in the south and the wastes in other parts of France will be 0011. verted into green and profitable fields. He wonders that the world is so slow to learn the great economic value of this robust plant, which will grow everywhere. Maitre nettles, and in the young tops thereof you will have • delicious and early vegetable for your dinner-table, and abundance of early green food for your cattle. The milk of cows is improved by a diet of nettlia, and the beef of cattle fed on nettles is superior to all other. Nettles, too, are of remarkable efficacy in restoring broken-down borne to vigour. And in commereetheir value is great ; for they can be treated as hemp, and spun into lines and ropes, and woven into cloth. France has grand schemes of planting in contemplation, and it may be that the long-stegleeted Urtios will be taken into favour.-4Ohnoirtna. [TWOPENCE THE FENIAN OUTRAGE AT MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, MONDAY AFTERNOON. A number of further arrests have been made since yesterday for complicity in the rescue from the prison van. It wan hoped that among this large number of fresh arrests would have been included one of rather special importance ; but it is to be regretted that the constables and other witnesses of the rescue stationed in the identi ficatini.office have not yet seen this man amongst the captures. This is ■ man stoutly built, above the middle height, who took the leading part in attacking the rear of the van while others were assaulting it in front. Some bystanders saw him present a revolver at Police-constable Knox and Constable Correll, those being the two police men stationed on the foot-board behind the van. He was also heard to say, " Turn up the keys and let the prisoners out The constables making no answer to this demand, he and another fired at them, but neither of the shots took effect. /a the excitement which followed, Constable Knox, who is an old soldier from the Bth Regi ment of infantry, was seen to stamp his foot on the foot board, and striking his breast, he shouted to them " Fire away, you cowardly rascals, if you dare, and be " Some more shots followed, and eventually the policemen were hustled away amid a crowd of the attack ing Fenisuis, wbo by this time had entirely surrounded the van. We learn that the same constables will be able to give such evidence se will clear away any doubts still existing as to the circumstances attending Sergeant Brett's death. When the van was about to leave the polioe-court es route for the city gaol, there were among the prisoners two young lads whom Constable Knox had in charge, and was instructed to leave, on his return, at the Industrial School at Ardwick-green. It was for this purpose that Knox accompanied the van, and not with any idea of adding to its safe escort. Before leaving the police-court, Sergeant Brett, seeing there were more officers than usual, said to Knox, " I will go inside, Knox, and you give me the keys through the attic" (ventilator). There were three keys on Brett's ring —two which were required for the locks on the outer door, while the third was necessary to enter the interior compartments. The upper lock in the outer door is only a catch lock, such as are seen in railway carriages, and the lower one, below the ventilator, is ; like the lock on an ordinary door. Knox handed the keys through the ventilator, as Brett had desired him, and there is now no doubt that Brett kept hold of them till he was shot through the ventilator, and that then they were handed out by a number of women who had not been put in separate compartments, but were along with Brett in the central corridor, and that this was done under threats by Allen and others of being fired upon unless the keys were passed through. It was possibly at this crisis that a witness, to whom we are indebted for much of this infor mation, heard a woman's voice scream out, inside the van, , " He is killed." It will probably be a matter for inquiry yet as to bow much blame is due to the Manchester authorities for this rescue, and how much to the Home•oftee. Blame is laid on the former that they did not send an armed guard. It appears that the warning telegraph from Dublin would have been in time if it had been delivered at once, but it did not reach the mayor until hours after it came to band. This will have to be inquired into. But if the Manches ter police had been ordered to arm and accompany the van, it is very doubtful whether their armoury would have furnished any but a few old and inefficient steepens, with which they would have been a doubtful match for meat armed with six and eight chambered revolvers. Tilt Manchester are generally a law-respecting people, . . . . probably it has never been contemplated that arms of such a formidable nature would be required. Nor is it certain that if the van, by means of a detour, had escaped the ambush laid for it on the way, the prisoners would have been much safer in the city gaol. The gaol is • new edifice, presenting to the eye on every side very formidable masonry, but it has in front of it the two handsome houses of the governor and chaplain, which open directly into the prison, having glass doors, with stancheons outside, hut of • character which would not have rendered the passage invulnerable in case of surprise by resolute men. The gaol is in a lonely and remote place on the skirts of the city, which would have given a surprising party great advantages. At 2.10 this morning • man named Peter Lynn, born in Ireland, and living in Dale-street, Hulme, was taken to the Albert-street station. The prisoner has been identified by a young lad named Thoniu Patterson, who was watching the attack from over a wall near the arch. This witness says he saw the prisoner among those who ran away in the directioo of where the platelayers were at work. The prisoner is ► tall powerful man, Oft. lin. in height. Some years ago he was in the Irish constabulary. Michael Brian is also among those last arrested. He is a short thickset man, who says he is • labourer, though his bands do not appear tosupport thatatatement. He was arrested at t', Riga.street, Hulme. A man named Kelly, fif t. 10in. in height, who did not know his own age, or what trade he belonged to, is among the prisoners brought in from the outlying towns. He was arrested in Ashton. On being charged with riot and murder, he made • statement which, if true, would show he was elsewhere at the time of the attack. A man, named John Martin, who, in answer to Captain Palin, said he was a pensioner in the lit Dragoons, has also been arrested. He said he had served 12 years and 68 days. Captain Patin said this part of the prisoner's statement seemed likely to be true. The proceedings of identification are nearly complete, and so many of the pri soners as have been "spoken to" have been conveyed to the City police-court, where, as in the other cases, Super intendent Gee will ask for a remand. The A/endanger Ir..caitiner says :—" The following com munication he been forwarded to us from a reliable source, with a request for its publication : In their seal to capture all suspected persons, the Blan chester police, on Friday evening, summarily apprehended, on suspicion, a highly-respectable young gentleman, a land surveyor, residing in Stockport. Our officials conceived that he bore a very strong resemblance to the renowned Colonel Kelly, and it was not until late on Saturday afternoon that he was set at liberty—undeniable evidence el his non-complicity in the outrage baring then been established." DESTRUCTION OP AN AMERICAN SHIP BY FIRE.— ] Intelligence was yesterday received in Liverpool to the effect that the American ship W. B.

Maurice" attempted to victimise Messrs. Swan and Edgar:—" The Villa, Swimmer', Dorset. —The Hon. Mrs. G. Meurice will be obliged by Messrs. • Swan and Edgar sending her some cloaks and jackets for ' choice, the latter must be loose and richly embrodered, not with beads ; one clook must be black, and one jacket or clook the colour of the green and blue. They will also please to send parasols with thick handles. The goods not kept will be carefully returned same day as re. ceiving.—Aug. Is. Messrs. Swan and Edgar." Her intended victims, writing to a contemporary, observe :—" Her letter throughout, notwithstanding that the jackets are to be ' loose,' and though ' richly embroidered, not with beads, and the ' parasols' are to have ' thick lianillea'—to the practised ear lacks the genuine ring. You will observe that one of the jackets is required to be green, and, with bitter irony, an artificial ivy leaf of unnatui al brilliancy is enclosed as a guide for the shade. Moreover, who would send a valuable parcel of goods to an un known correspondent, whose orthography would do no credit to the servants' hall, an.l who pro mises that ' the goods not kept will be returned the IMMO day as receiving.' No, sir, we have bean swindled before now, and wish—vain hope !—we could anticipate security from the adroitness of the fraternity, male and female, for the future; but we shall have deserted our fate if we shall allow ourselves to ho taken in by so clun.sily baited a hook as that of this, say ' female swindler ; for the true lady swindler' must feel indignant at this misapplication of a term which, if not the most honour able in tbe world, implies at least a superior a:due...diem as • primary condition of • well.founded claim to the dis tinction."
