arama. ST. JAMES'S. There appears to be considerable vitality in 'sir. Stirling Coyne's comedy of Ererrfto /y's leirmf, which was first produced at the Haymarket in the early part of 18#t, with Mr. Charles Mathews, Mr. Compton, Mr. Buckatone, Mrs. Charles Mathews, Mrs. Wilkins, and Mimi Reynolds in the principal characters. This vitality has perhaps been shown more decidedly in America than in England ; and when Mr. Walcut returned to London a few seasons ago, and appeared at the Olympic Theatre, EreriGudy's Friend was the comedy. and Major De Boots the character he selected in which to make his appeal to a metropolitan public. Mr. Walcot is hardly forgotten, before another comedian, named Mr. John S. Clarke— and this timejwe believe, pure American, and not Anglo- American—has had sufficient faith in the same piece and character to try them once more in London. This trial was made last night at the St. James's Theatre, after the play had been re-edited and renamed by the author. Reerybody's Friend is now merged in the title of A Widow Hunt, and several modifi cations have been made in the story and dialogue, princi pally with the view of giving greater prominence to the character of Major lie Boots—a character that Mr. Clarke is said to have played with great success in America for at least two hundred nights. Major Dc Boots is a part that admits of much extravagance in representation, and gene rally gets it—the tone of the comedy being decidedly farcical. This extravagance is not reduced by Mr. Clarke, but, if anything, is a little increased, much dependence being evidently placed upon tricks of deportment and facial expression —the latter amounting to what in England is called grimacing. Mr. Clarke has an open ex pressive face and great self-possession, but much of his humour appears to be a little forced. Some of his tricks are prolonged morel than is altogether consistent with good taste, though they are amusing enough in themselves, and their excess is acceptable to the gallery. It would be obviously unfair to Mr. Clarke to pronounce a too de cided opinion upon his merits and defec as a comedian before seeing him in a character requiring more art than Major De Boots. As a stranger, he is entitled to this courtesy. His efforts last night were well received by a good audience, and he obtained much applause, much genuine' laughter, and two recalls. The cast of the comedy included Mr. Henry Irving, Miss Button, Miss Cavendish, and Miss Larkin. DEATH oF Mi.s AvoxiA JoNZS.—The playgoing public will regmt to learn the death of the well-known actress, Miss Avonia Jones. Intelligence was yesterday received in Liverpool to the effect that she died on the afternoon of the Ith instant, at her residence in New York, from rapid consumption. Miss Jones, at the time of her death, wee on her way to Cuba—having pot aside several engagements —for the purpose of wintering in the South. The deceased lady was born in Richmond, N irgmu, and was the daughter of the Count Joanne' and Mrs. Melinda Jones. A few years ago she was married to Mr. G. Y. Brooke, whose melancholy fate in the lass of the steamer Leaden is still fresh in the public mind. THE BRADFORD ELECTION. DECLARATION OF THE POLL. The official declaration of the poll was made at noon yesterday in front of the Bradford Court-house. A large crowd assembled at the hustings. The more active supporters of Mr. Thompson again appeared on the right of the mayor, and Mr. filial and his more active friends on the left. The appearance of the defeated candi date was the signal for loud and reiterated cheers from the crowd in front of the left side of the hustings. Shortly after twelve o'clock the mayor came forward and briefly addressed the assembly. Referring to imputa tions made against him of an improper decision with re spect to the show of hands on Monday, he defended the de cision, and declared that lie would not knowingly h►ve given • wrong decision for a "hundred Thompson. or a hundred Miens." He then stated that the poll showed the following result :—For Thompson, 2,210 ; and for Mall, 1,507 ; giving a majority of 403 for Thompson. He then declared Mr. Thompson duly elected to represent the borough in parliament. Mr. I•A.te WRIGHT briefly addressed the assembly in terms eoagratulatory of the result, and thanking the friends of Mr. Thompson in his behalf, and on behalf of his committee, for the victory they had secured, be said that they hail beaten their opponents on their own ground of universal suffrage, Mr. Thompson having had the show of hands at the nomination. lie announced that the newly. elected member would be amongst them perhaps in • few days, and would take the earliest opportunity of appear ing before his constituents. Mr. 111.‘u. then addressed the assembly. He said—ln the first place, I wish to return my grateful thanks to those gentlemen who upon my committee have worked hard, not to advance my interest, but the interest of those principles that I hold dear to my heart. (Cheers.) I have no fault whatever to find with them. I return thanks likewise to the 1,807 electors of this borough who have given their votes for a man who was not a local man, but •stranger amongst you. (Hear, hear.) Nothing but seal—nothing but devotion to principle—(cheers)—nothing but a high sense of political duty could have led them, manfully as they bare clone, to face the odds which they kitew they would have to encounter. (Hear.) I am now the defeated candidate—(" Never mind ; don't forget 18C9")—but the verdict in iy be reversed. (Cheers.) Gen tlemen, I thank God that I have done nothing in is election that can stain my character—(" Hear, bear," and cheers)—nothing that can sully the high principles which I bold up before the people. So far as I know, I have used all my influence—and I know that my committee used theirs—that this contest should be fought out good humouredly. (Heir, heir.) But I confess I was surprised at the app e..miices that exhibited themselves in Bradford last night. A defeated candidate is usually treated with the utmost courtesy and forbearance. (" Hear, hear," and cheers.) I never knew men fight before when they hail got their way. (Hear, bear.) Gentlemen, I tax nobody with the responsibility of that ; I know nothing of their proceedings ; but I say that that which appeared in the streets of Bn,iford last night lays upon some one a heavy responsibility. (Cheers.) I leave that responsi bility where it rests. I wash my hands of it entirely. (Hear. hear.) Igo forth—l go home satisfied that I have done the utmost in my power that this victory, if won by me, should be won, not only with honour, but in the name of intelligence, C011 , 63i/00, and politic.' principle— (cheers and confasioo)—hut, not having won it, I confess that I am fully satisfied that the demonstration made last night on the other side against myself and my committee was a proof in my judgment, that we hod not merely to fight with intelligence, conviction, and political principle, but beer. (Cheers and hisses.) I beg to propose • vote of thanks to his worship the Mayor of Bradford. (Cheers and hisses.) There are differ ences of opinion as to the correctness of his judgment on the nomination day, but there are no dif ferences of opinion as to his entire integrity of character and impartiality of conduct. (Loud cheers and confusion.) I beg to pr ,pose that the best thanks of this meeting be presented to the mayor for his conduct in presiding over this election. Mr. Councillor STOREY seconded the motion amidst uproar, which rendered his voice inaudible. The resolution was then put, the show of hands for and agaiust bring nearly divided, and the deputy mayor (31r. Councillor Whitehead) declared it carried. The MAT. , It responded, declaring that in his conscience be bad done his duty between one party and the other. The assembly then dispersed. The disturbance on Tuesday night, referred to in the Daily 21',.0rs yesterday, was speedily quelled by a number et police, after some heads had been broken and a number of windows In Yr. Aliall's committee rooms had been smashed. EFFECT OF THE COMPOTED HOUSEHOLDER CLAUSE DI ST. PANCEAR.—yesterday at a meeting of the St. Pancras Representative Vestry, held at the Vestry. hall, Camden-town, Mr. Chnrchwarden Runlet in the chair, a report was presented from the assessment, rnte, and appeal committee, showing the effect which will be produced in the shape of increased taxation by the aboli tion of the compound householder principle iuml the sub stitution of personal Daum under the provisions of the Reform Act. The report stated the old assessment in each ward. the new asr•smeat into property taken out of composition, and the increase. The totals were as fol low :—Old asssesment. ; new assessment, 51,07:2.; total increase. 12,1771.

BETTING IN LONDON.-WEDNESDAY. The clubs were again numerously attended to-day, and several fresh and important movements resulted. Honesty, as usual, had a very shifty time of it, receding from 9 to 1 to 100 to $, and leaving off in a very unhealthy condition. Aches, by the force of money entrusted to her, became absolute first favourite; 11(0 to 100, 1000 to 100, and 900 to 100 were accepted in succession, to say nothing of seve ral 'miller investments, amounting in the aggregate to a good round aunt. Knight of the Garter was also supported with an almost equal degree of spirit, and throughout the day trod closely on the heels of Mr. Thellusson's mare. Julius went scarcely so well; at one moment as much as 100 to 6 was laid, but finally a point less was accepted pretty readily. " With a start," also, he was backed at 1200 to 100 and 2000 to 200. The demonstration in favour of Wroughton which has latterly prevailed was exchanged today for a partially hostile movement, layers far out numbering backers; 100 to 5 was laid some four or five times, and to the last 100's to 6 were plentiful. Fripon nier had a decidedly more genuine look ; 2000 to 140 wan taken on one hand, and 100 to 7 was booked re pfttedly. Lozenge again met with quiet support at 1000 to 40 twice, and several minor bets at the same rate. Blinkhoolie was still out of favour at .10 to 1 offered, with but a solitary response to take 100 to :1. Laneret was backed in earnest, 1000 to 30 being booked five times, while 100 to 3 was taken Kain and again. Another out sider who Mlle with • rush was Wolsey, he being in a comparatively brief space supported to win 10,0001. It was remarkable, however, that both of the horses named, not. withstanding these outlays,did not improve in the betting, the prices laid being afterwards freely offered, and pro curable to the finish. Attack colt was out of all favour, 50 to 1 being offered without a response. Two other out siders, Grey Stocking and Hippie, were backed in well informed quartets to win several thousands each. The remaining transactions will be explained by the under mentioned quotations CAMBRIDO&SIIIR 9to 1 eget Ades (t) 60 to 1 sled Nn ~ o(!) 11 to 1 Haight of the 60 to 1 LaDbaphioe(o) Garter MA w) 1000 to 15 Harry Brain -100 00 8 Honesty,td.off) ford t, 100 to 7 Julius (1, 1200 1000 to IS Valorous (off, to 100, and 1000 to 15 naffs (off) 2000 to 200 t 1000 to 10 Urey Stocking with a start , (t 7 times) 100 to 3 IMpounler (t) 1000 to 10 Hippia 4 saz 100 to 6 Wroughton (t Uwe* and off) 1000 to 10 Archimedes (t) 1000 to 40 Lozenge ft) 1000 to 10 Duke of York 30 to 1 Iffinkhoolie'off, (off, t 1000 1100003) to 5) 1000 to 30 Lament (t fire 1000 to 10 Treasure Trove times) t(off, 6) o t 1000 1000 to 5 Chignon (t) 1000 to 6 Marmite .t) 1000 to 6 Colllua off) 100 to E GirTeTrisere 1000 to 20 Woleey (t ten Woes) 600 to 10 Rodomoete 10 to 1 Attackeolt(olf, lETTING.

A young man named Collier , wearing a military dress, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged under rather peculiar circumstances with forgery and embezzlement. Mr. Warner Sleigh said be appeared to prosecute the prisoner upon a charge of forgery sod embezzling divers sums the moneys of Mr. Henry Cooper, tailor and habit maker, of Princes-street, Hanover-square, and Fenchurch. street, in the City. The defendant entered Mr. Cooper's service in March of the present year, and took the manage ment of the branch establishment in Fenchurchatreet. His duties while there consisted in delivering accounts to customers and receiving payment. Upon the •-Md of September Collier absconded from the ser vice of Mr. Cooper, and was not seen or heard of for two or three weeks, when an individual who gave the name of Norman was charged at Marylebone or Marlborough-street Police-court—he forgot which—with stealing a ruby cross from an " unfortunate " lady, in the neighbourhood of St. John's-wood. Norman being there identified as the young man who had absconded from the service of Mr. Cooper, it was asked that he should be charged with the offence for which he was now brought before his lordship, Jervis's Act giving the neces sary power to do so, but the magistrate did not seem to think that he had the authority, and the prosecutor had consequently been put to the expense of habeas corpus. It appeared that on the 10th of August last the pri soner Collier went to a gentleman of the name of Rees, carrying on business at 43, Lime-street, who owed Mr. Cooper a sum of 41. odd, and requested payment of the account. Mr. Rees there upon gave him a cheque for 4/., which the prisoner took to a gentleman named Pritchard, in the lower part of the house, and requested him to crash it. Mr. Pritchard, noticing that it was payable to Mr. Cooper's order, said he could not do so, bu t the prisoner said he would sign it. He accordingly wrote Mr. Cooper's name on the cheque, and received the 41. That was the charge of forgery against the defendant, and it was brought under the 24th section of the Forgery Act of 1861, the prisoner having no authority by procuration or otherwise to sign Mr. Cooper's name. The money was never paid over to Mr. Cooper, and until communications pawed between him and Mr. Rees he was unaware that the account had been paid. In addition to this, there were two or three other charges on which no forgery was alleged, but in which money had been received and not accounted for to Mr. Cooper. He ought to mention that after the other charge at Marlborough-street or Marylebone the prisoner was admitted to bail, which he broke, and he then went down to some place in the country and enlisted in a dragoon regiment. Mr. Rees proved paying the prisoner the cheque for 41., and Mr. Benjamin Pritchard deposed to the prisoner coming to his counting-house and requesting him to cash it, which he did on the prisoner signing Mr. Cooper's name, witness thinking he had authority to do so. Mr. Cooper said the prisoner's salary waa 501. for the first six months and 5:/. for the second. Witness was at Paris at the time Collier obtained the cheque from Mr. Itees, and he had no authority to sign witness's signature. In crou•examination it was elicited that the prisoner had instructions to pay the wages at the Fenchurch•streot branch during Mr. Cooper's absence, but that he drew a sufficient amount for that purpose from Mr. Horne, a relative of Mr. Cooper. Payment of the following rums, which the prisoner had not accounted for, were also deposed to: -47. 10.. from William Killian), reporter, 1, Mincing-lane, on June 26 ; 4/. 16s. 6d. from Charles S. Eastland, on August 14 ; and 61. 64. ld. from Mr. William Smith, farmer, Farn borough, on September 2. Mr. Banyard, detective officer, produced the warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner, and said be did not see him till be appeared to answer another charge under the name of Norman. He attended when the case wee to oome on on remand, bat the prisoner did not answer to his bail. Mi. B. Smith, solicitor, who conducted the defence, sub. mitted, as to the alleged forgery, that it was clearly • procuration signature, and that it had not been signed with intent to defraud. The Lord Mayor committed the prisoner for trial. James Glynn, of 3, Wellesley-terrace, Plumstead, sp. peered to answer a summons, which charged him with tra velling on the South Eastern Railway from London-bridge to Cannon-street without having paid his fare. Mr. Albert Lewis conducted the prosecution. On being asked whether he was guilty or not guilty the defendant indignantly denied the charge. The evidence was to the effect that on the sth of Sep !ember the defendant arrived at Cannon-street station by the 8.45 a.m. train from Woolwich Arsenal, and that he gave up to the collector the half of • third-class return ticket to London-bridge. On being stopped and told that his ticket was only for London-bridge, be said, " Im possible, I have the other half here," and produced the half of • return ticket to Cannon-street, on which there was no date. The defendant asserted that he had given up a proper ticket, and that there being a rash of pen he had gone on a short distance before he was stop . The collector, on the other hand, a ffirmed that there was no rush, that the defendant passed out by himself, and that he was positive he received the half ticket to London bridge from the defendant. Corroborative testimony was given by a ticket inspector, whose attention had been called to the matter by the collector. The defendant then addressed his lordship at some length, insisting that he had given up a proper ticket, and at the same time remarking that be had travelled daily on the line for a number of years. and that the booking clerk at Woolwich Arsenal frequently gave London-bridge instead of Cannon-street tickets when there vru a hurry. The Lord Mayor said it was quite clear he had given up a ticket which was not a legitimate one, and that he bad travelled to Cannon-street without paying his fare. The company said they had no reason to @aspect any pre vious irregularities on the part of the defendant, but there was no doubt that the present case had been made out. The penalty would be lc Mr. Olts-4e. altogether. The Defendant—l bow to your decision, my lord, but my oath is as good as their'. He then paid the money and left the court, asserting that it was a gross piece of injustice. John Baxter, aged 20, a greengrocer, residing at Back road, Kingeland, was charged with committing a ►iolent assault on Eliza Boult, at Prospect-place, Stoke New ington. The defendant went to the house in which the com plainant resided, and borrowed a hammer from the land lady. He was making use of disgusting language, and when the complainant told him he ought to be ashamed of himself, he said that if she spoke again he would give her "one for herself." She told him that he had better not, and then he hit her on the cheek bone with the hammer, and inflicted a severe wound. The defendant said that the complainant pushed him, and then he pushed her, and she cat her face. Mr. Barker said it was idle to suppose that such • severe wound as the complainant had on her face could be donewith a push, and sentenced the defendant to he im prisoned ►nd kept to hard labour in the House of Correc tion for two calendar months. Two young men, named Wilson and Parker, were charged with deatroying clothing in St. Luke's Workhouse, Chelsea. Charles Coombes, porter at the canal ward, said that the defendants were admitted there on Tuesday night, and received supper and lodging. Next morning, at a quarter before six, be went to the ward, and found them both in bed. He had heard they bed torn up the whole of their clothes, and asked them why they had done so, when they replied that they did not like them, they were dirty. Wit ness afterwards saw the fragments of their clothing, and went and informed the master, who sent thew two new pair of canvas trousers, and they tore them up. Mr. Arnold—When was that Witness—While I had gone to get their shirts. Mr. Arnold—Did they assign any reason for tearing them up Witness—They said they did not fit. They were too entalL Mr. Arnold—What have you to say to this, Wilson Wilson—My things were filthy. Mr. Arnold—What have you to say, Parker? Parker—l've nothing to say. Mr. Arnold—Not content with destroying your own clothing you wilfully tear up that belonging to the pariah. Why tear up the trousers Wilson—They did not fit—they were too short. Mr. Arnold—That is no reason why they should be torn up. You are committed for one month for destroying your own clothing, and a second month for wilful damage to the parish clothing. ILtRYLEBONE. A rough, low-looking fellow, named Michael Hailey,waa charged with the following outrageous conduct. Charles Kilpin, a watchmaker, sail on the previous night he was with a friend in • public-bones in Duke street, and was pushed against by the prisoner. He re quested him not to do so again, when the prisoner gave him a severe blow on the back of his head and smashed his hat in. The prosecutor took it off to straighten it, when the prisoner struck him • tremendous blow on his face, making his nose and mouth bleed. A policeman was fetched and the prisoner was given into custody. By dr. d'Eyncourt—He was quite sober and gave the prisoner no provocation. In reply to the prisoner, Prosecutor said there was a female there, but be did not say anything to her, or push her. He did not call him a Fenian. James Feasy, a carpenter, corroborated prosecutor. George Starr, 7ft D, said he was called to take the pri soner into custody. Prosecutor's nose was bleeding. Pri soner had been drinking. The officer said prisoner was well known to the police for assaults and felony, and Sergeant Neal, 9 I), said pri soner belonged to a gang of roughs who go about and molest anyone who comes in their way. Prisoner said prosecutor called bun a Fenian, and be thought there was no harm in striking him.

COLONEL KELLY IN REAnCiI FOR A rumour to the cffeet that " Colonel" Kelly, the notorious Fenian leader who was rescued at Man chester, had been either re-arrested or successfully tracked by the police in Whitechapel, was published in the late edition of an evening contemporary yesterday, and caused a good deal of anxiety, if not actual excitement. On in quiry the rumour has been found to have h►d its founda tion in the fact that a coffee-house in the vicinity of Spitalfields Church was searched for Kelly on Tuesday night, and that the police suspect it to be his lurking place at present. There is no doubt that within the peat few days the police at the Leman-street (Whitechapel) and Spited-square stations have been unusually active in their visits to coffee-houses and other places of resort in which they might find some trace of the object of their search, and it is stated that yesterday the authorities at Scotland-yard sent instructions which caused the force at Whitechapel to redouble their efforts, and to closely watch certain houses. The police observe • strict reticence, and the opportunities of getting information are very few indeed. There ap peared to be an Impression among them last night that a hoax bad been played upon the authorities at Scotland yard for the purpose of putting them off the scent. Be that as it may, the large number of Fenian sympathisers who are to be found in the dense Irish population of White chapel, and the fact that Fenian meetings have been and are being held there, give to the statement se to Kelly's residence there an air of strong probability. It may be also stated that last Saturday night • concert and ball for the benefit of the families of the Manchester prisoners was given in the locality in which the police are searching. A correspondent, writing from Norwich yester day afternoon, says :—" There is no truth whatever in a statement in the Daily Tekgraph of to-day, that • Fenian 1 1 attack had been made on the volunteer armoury at Beep- ham ; and the Chief Constable of Norfolk (Lieutenant- Colonel Black) has telegraphed to the Home Secretary to this effect this afternoon. The publication of the report caused some excitement to-day, but it wee seen from the first that the Telegraph had been hoaxed. The county police are investigating the matter, and a clue is believed to have been found to the offender, who is probably some stupid countryman ambition' of playing • practical joke. It is worthy of note that in December • similar story was propagated from Reephain, that Stephens, the Fenian Head Centre, had been taken near that place. All kinds of tales have been circulated in Norwich during the last few days as to Fenian'. One was that ' Colonel' Deasy had been taken in Davey-place, Norwich ; another that troops of the 15th Hussars had been ordered to Manchester, and another that Manchester had been sacked. These idle rumours are destitute of any foundation so far as regards this neighbourhood, which is perfectly tranquiL" With reference to the alarm at Balmoral, the Scotsman of yesterday says: —"The rumour that gained ground onMonday afternoon that her Majesty had been fired at in the neigh bourhood of her Highland residence, has been proved by more particular inquiry to be altogether without founda tion. In consequence of communications received by the authorities, a detachment from the 15th Depot Battalion, under Captain Hislop, of the 93rd, left Aber deen on Monday afternoon for Abergeldie and Inver. On arriving, some excitement was felt, as there has been no guard of honour near Balmoral for the last two years. Forty men were quartered at Abergeldie, and twenty at Inver. Sheriff Com rie Thomson and Major Ross, chief constable for the county, went to Balmoral the same night, and had a consultation with General Grey. The cause of suspicion is kept properly a secret, but certainly the letters received from the Home-office and other quarters justified the steps taken by them. The result of the visit to Balmoral is that in and around that district the police force has been more than doubled in strength while all the en ' trances to the Castle, as well as railway stations, are closely watched by officers in plain clothes. There may be no cause for alarm, but the authorities have wisely de termined to take measures in time. Major Ross was in attendance at the unveiling of the statue of the Prince Consort at Balmoral yesterday ; and in the afternoon In spector Smith arrived with some special constables by train leaving Aberdeen at 2.40. Detective Walker, with 13 picked men, left for Balmoral. The force there now of experienced men is large." In ReCCTOILLICe with instructions kilned from headqinar tem, and with the view, moreover, of satisfying them selves that no alarm need be felt in consequence of any rumours that may have been circulated in regard to Fe nianism, the civic authorities at Edinburgh have made it their business to see that the various volunteerstores in the city are placed in perfectly safe keeping. Large stores of arms are retained in many of the depots, though a con siderable number of the volunteers keep their weapons in their own houses. As a further precautionary measure, the ammunition and arms with which the Edinburgh Artillery Militia Stores, Baster-road, were furnished, have been removed from the slender guard maintained there, to safer custody in the Castle. Special instructions have been given to the police in regard to their duty in case of additional rumours arising •, but everywhere the opinion prevails—and nowhere more strongly thanamong the police themselves—that no ground exists even for the slightest uneasiness. The North British Mail says that "A rumour was cur rent on 'Change, at Glasgow, the other day, that a com munication had been received from the Home-office by the authorities of Glasgow, instructing them to be prepared against • Fenian rising, which it was apprehended might break out in the city. The authorities, it is said, quietly and secretly made the necessary preparations, but happily nothing has yet transpired to justify the apprehensions of the government. We believe, however, that from some cause or other an application has within the last few days been made for revolvers with which to arm our police force. We published the other day • statement taken from • London Fenian organ, that there were 23,000 Fenians in Scotland, the greater number of whom were resident in Glasgow. Although the estimate is evidently immensely exaggerated, there is no doubt that there are many Fenians in Glasgow and the neighbouring towns—a week ago a body of about 60 having been seen drilling near Rail- Heston, and a belief prevailing in Wiahaw that a strong organisation has been formed there. As to our city, though no overt act has been committed here, yet beyond doubt the Fenians are very numerous. The fact that they can, as we pointed out the other day, support an organ, suffi ciently proves that." A detachment of the 751 d Regiment will, we under. stand, be stationed in Liverpool for the winter months, and in order that they should be as near as possible to the neighbourhooda occupied by the Irish, it is understood that a portion of the troops will he placed in Cornwallis-street, and another draft of them at the north end. At Warwick County 5061110113, on Tuesday, the County Buildings Committee reported that they held a meeting on the previous day, when a letter was read from the Store tiu-y of State for War, inclosing some suggestions which had been made by Colonel Ward, relative to providing better security for the militia stores at Warwick and Leamington. The works would cost 781. The committee sanctioned the works. Lieutenant-Colonel Granville, commandant of the 2no Warwick Militia, al s o sugges t e d some additional works to protect the militia stores at Leamington, which the committee did not approve of. Lord Leigh (lord lieutenant) pointed out the necessity of the works, owing to the insecurity of the arms. He had, himself, written to the War-office upon the subject, and if the government wished the works to be done be hoped the county magistrates would find the money. The visiting justices also reported that they had authorised the go vernor of the gaol to take measures for the better security of the prisoners while being removed in the prison van from the Shire Hall to the gaol, which is situate in the suburbs of the town, at the sessions and assizes. The sug gestion was approved of, and also one, on the part of the County Police Committee, that the clerk of the peace be in structed to apply to the Home Office for the loan of 100 revolvers for the use of the police force. At Leamington the depot of the volunteers us protected by a volunteer on duty. A state of Fenian dread, probably totally unfounded, seems to have settled upon the East Riding particularly. At Bridlington, DrifSeld. Melton. Paull, and other places, the idea has got abroad that the Fenian, intended to seize the arms of the volunteers, and in some cases these have been rendered useless by removing nipples, in others they are guarded. and in ,ome—as at Milton on Tuesday—the rifles were distributed, each man taking his own in charge. The whole alarm seems to have sprung out of the arrival of large numbers of Irish drovers to the Yorkshire cattle fairs now going on. There has been no attempt to break the peace, but by orderof the authorities the North Eastern Company keep trains ready and engines under steam to convey troops to any quarter where an outbreak may occur. There are not wanting many who believe the Fenian alarm to be a hoax. Some excitement was created in York at a late hour on Saturday evening by one of the Gth Inniakilling dragoons (which now lie in the York barracks) galloping through the streets in such hot haste as to indicate a mis sion of importance. Inquiry led to its being ascertained that a telegram had been received byColonel Crawley from the Horse Guards, instructing that the regiment should be held in readiness to move at a moment's notice, and that similar preparations should be made by the North-Eastern Railway authorities, to make a speedy re moval of the regiment when called upon. In the barrack yard, and at the York railway station, all was bustle for some time after ; at the latter place a number of trains being prepared, and at the former the horses being saddled and in readiness for emergency. It was understood that the services of the military might be requirei at two points—lLiddlesbrough or the neighbourhood of Hull, but of the two the more likely the latter. The village of Pres ton, near Hull, was mentioned as the exact point for the transfer of the troops. Though engines were kept with the steam up and attached to the trams, no further order was received until late ou Sunday, when, through Colonel Crawley, the Rorie Guards instructed that trains ware to be kept in readiness for the immediate transfer to any point which might be directed of Ml) men and hones. This order still stands, and train, as a oonsequenos, are now consequently in readiness for the necessary transfer. The police at Crewe have for some time been watching certain individuals in that town. They have positive evi -1 deuce of a body of men baying been drilled on the Bth in stant, and the organisers or local " bead centres" were apprehended on Monday afternoon. The names of those apprehended are Bernard Lynagb, clerk, at Crewe works ; Daniel Gunning, fitter, at Crewe works ; A. Murdoch, schoolmaster ; and John Hazlett, shoemaker. They were arrested one by one, and without any disturbance, and immediately sent away to Ches ter. At the Nantwich police-court on Tuesday four men were charged with attending a certain meeting and assembly of persons for the purpose of being drilled, at Crewe, at midnight on the Bth inst. The evidence of Police-constable Williamson was taken, but the bench expressed a wish that the information should not be made public at the present state of the inquiry. It was, how ever, deemed sufficient to justify the remand of the pri soners until next Tuesday. The priaoners applied for bail, but their application was refused. Bassett, who is stated to be a " centre," said he had s complete answer to the charge. EXAMINATION OF FENIAN PRISONERS AT MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, Ocr. 16. The men remanded on Monday by Mr. Fowler at the City Police-court, charged with the murder of Sergeant Brett, in the attack on the prison van on the 18th Septem ber, were again brought up for examination this morning. Mr. Talbot, Assistant Town Clerk, prosecuted ; and Mr. It. P. Roberts appeared for the prisoners. The defence of the prisoners was resumed by Mr. Roberts, who said he had sent to Liverpool for witnesses to prove alibis. Those for Brophy refused to come unless subrenaed,and it was impossible to subpoena them in time. For Chambers he should call four witnesses, one of whom would also speak for Brophy. The first witness was "&ther Rossiter, who mid—l am the wife of James Rossiter. We keep a lieerhouse at No. 26, Adlington-street, Fontenot'-street, Liverpool. The prisoner Chambers was at our house drinking between two three o'clock on the afternoon of the 18th of September. I know it was the 18th, from the police having visited our house about twelve o'clock that night. About iris o'clock the same night the prisoner Brophy was also at our house, and I served him with a pint of ale. By Mr. Talbot—Chambers left the house about three o'clock that afternoon, as near as I can guess. We have kept the house 20 months. My husband was previously a corn porter. By Mt. Fowler—l heard of the attack on the van about eight o'clock on the same night. People were talking about it. _ _ John Cummins —I am a bricklayer, living at 8, Ad. lington-street, Liverpool. On the 18th September I met Chambers in Byrom-street, about • quarter put two, and we went along several streets to Mn. Rossiter's, where we had a pint of ale each. We stood there • quarter of an hour, but 1 was with Chambers altogether about half-an hour. A man named Thornton came in while we were at Roesiter's, and entered into conversation with Chambers. We left the house about a quarter to three as near as I can guar. I parted with Chambers in Great Crosshall-street, about three o'clock. I saw him next morning, between seven and eight o'clock. I know Brophy by seeing him at Roseiter's I believe he was working on the 18th September. By Mr. Talbot—The last man I worked for was Mr. Raydock, at Lime-yard, corner of Blackstock-street. I left Mr. Haydock's last Friday ? having worked eight or nine days for him. am not in work now. I was born and reared at 8, Adlington.unet, Lucy Gaven, dressmaker, said—l am • singlejwoman, living at 26, Clifton-street, off Prince Edwin-street, Liver. pool. I have known Chambers five or six years. Recollect the day of the attack on the polite van. On that day he was at our house between four and five in the afternoon, and had his tea with us. Mr. Itoberts—We have heard a report that your house was searched by the police and found to be full of pictures of Stephens and other Fenian. There is no truth in that, I believe ? Witness—There were no pictures in the room where Chambers wu. There were one or two such pictures in a paper in my own room. Mr. Roberto—You an not a Fenian Witness—l know nothing about Fenianisro. By Mr. Talbot—Chambers sometimes slept with my brother at our house, and did so on the Tuesday night before the attack on the van. My brother is a joiner, and a most intimate acquaintance of Chambers's. I have lived at the house about twenty months. George Thornton, who was to have given evidence, was called, but did not appear. Mr. Roberts said these were all the witnesses he pro.. posed to trouble the bench with now, and at his request they were severally bound over. The prisoners were thee all committed to take their trial for wilful murder. .... _____.. There is a report current in Manchester to-day that an attempt has been made to explode a powder magazine in the neighbourhood, but without effect. THE SUBSCRIPTION FOR BRETT'S FANILY.—MT. Fowler, addressing the reporters, said—l have received a few small sums for the widow and family of Brett. The Rev. Mr. Richardson has, as is well known, also interested himself in their behalf, and received several sums for them : and, as you also know, Captain Palin has been deputed by the watch oomuilttee to receive, and basalresily received, sums for the same purpose. My notion is that any money received by me shall be handed over to one of these gentlemen, and I wish the public to be informed through you that we are acting together, and that any moneys sent to us will be appropriated in the way which may be best for the widow and her family.

COLLISION ON TEE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. —On Monday evening, • very alarming accident occurred on the southern section of the Caledonian Railway, but happily it was not attended with any very serious results. It appear. that a portion of a goods train which leaves Carstaire for the south some time before the mail broke loose while making the ascent known as " the summit," near Beattock, and began to descend the bill very rapidly. The runaway part of the train convicted of the guard's van and ten or • dozen waggons. On ascertaining what happened, the guard applied the break, and succeeded in bringing up the train a little to the north of Elvanfoot Station. Knowing that the mail from the north was almost due, he immediately ran back along the line showing a danger signal; but ere be had gone many yards the train came round a curve at full speed, and ere it could be stopped it dashed into the goods train. The goods van was smashed to pieces, and several of the waggons were much damaged. The driver of the mail train, who leaped off the engine on seeing the danger signal, was somewhat bruised about the head and face. The stoker, who re mained at his post, was unhurt, the engine fortunately keeping the "metals." The passengers were rather severely shaken by the collision; but happily none of them sus tained any serious injury. Immediately after the col lision fire broke out among some combustible material in the hindermost waggons of the goods train, which for a time created a little alarm ; but by the exer tions of the officials and • number of the passengers it wee confined to theons in which it originated, but they, as well as the guard's van, ware almost totally destroyed. Both !info of rails were partially blocked, bet a number of workmen were brought from Abingdon, Beattock, and the adjoining districts, and In the course of a couple of hours the down line was so far clear as to allow the mail from the south to pass over it. The mail train from the north, which hail been run back to Abingdon, was then idiunted on to the down line, which it was run over as far as Beat tack, and left for the south after • detention of about four hours. The whole of the trains were a little late on Tuesday forenoon ; but the up line was cleared during the day, and the traffic resumed its ordinary course. JUDGM FNT BY DEFAULT IN COUNTY COURTs.
