The double-screw steam-vessel Viper, recently launched for the government at the premises of Mr. Lang- ley, Deptford, has been removed to this dockyard, to be completed for servioe. She is already fitted with her ma chinery, and is a sister vessel to the Vixen, built by the same Arm, and also completing at this do ckyard. Both yawls are expected to attain a high rate of speed. A numerous detachment of the Woolwich division of Royal /dories Light Infantry has left headquarters for duty at Deptford Dockyard. Some rumours, which have probably no foundation, have been circulated that a distur bance is likely to take oleos amongst the Irish labourers employed at the establishment on St. Patrick's day, and it appears that a fool is h letter, suggestive of such an event, was picked up in the dockyard. The clause in the new Reform Bill which pro vides for the disfranchisement of voters employed at the Royal Dockyard and Arsenal has caused much excitement at Woolwich, and measures are in program to convene • pablio meeting at the Town-hall, for the purpose of pro testing against the proposal. WARWICK SPRING RACES. -TEMINDAL The Grand Anneal illeephichaes shinnied a than bad assembled on any of the previous days= = but the weather unfortunately was anything bat agreeable, the wind being cold and Use sky cheerless, and a heavy shower of rain during the afternoon did not improve the aspect of the course. Notwittuttending this, the sport wee very interesting, and many o: the decisions were received enthnelanicelly. The Grand Annual was, of coons, the event of the day, and great ex citement wassaaalfeeeed by every one, the starting of liehunander and Cortolvin being sufficient to render the race more than ordi narily interesting, notwithstanding the absence of Creole. who was reser red for the Hunt Cup Steeplechase. The following return contains every particular of the race, but we may say here that the Grand National victor proved himself to be thi great horse his Liverpool victory stamped him, for be made all the running. and won In a canter. The finish might have been nearer had Cortolvin sot fallen. but the remit. however. would not have been reversed, as Lord Poulett'shotee fell from sheer exhaustion. • HANDICAP of 3 son each, with 20 added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards.

It wee agreed that the repayment oboald be secured by promissory note six months after date, and the transfer to the nominee of Messrs. Gladatose of 19 bonds of the Newry and Armagh Railway.

He need hardly point eat to the house that es Mr. Welsh was subjest to a pro- Nocation, which would he tried it one of her Majesty's marts, it would be impossible to proceed egged him on the sane ground', and that was as additional reason why it was found to be impossible to suspend him.

Mr. Miller held of fi ce on the same terms as Mr. Welc h, and, speaking for the Lord Chancellor as well as for himself, be was of opinion that there was nothing in the report of the select committee on which it would be possible to found proceedings for the 'impose of dismissing Mr. Miller from the office be held.

The bor. gent!emaa further inquired whether the didranthisemeet orojond to be inflicted on the artisan would be extended to aU officers on full pay in the towns is which dockyards were situated.

The government bed not yet had time to enmitier the sub ject sufficiently to enable them to flame a bill, and probably the bettor plan would be to submit the matter to • corn. aiittee before any measure was brought into perliameut.

GREY said that the government had carefully considered the amendment of Mr. Disraeli, and that, es the right hon. gentleman and his friseds were in favour of adoptiog a uniform oath, the govsremeat saw no objection to the first paragraph, as aim ar in substance to their own, and would oceept it. The word " defend" might, how ever, he omitted, as its retention was niumnissary, sad some hon. members objected to it. Sir H. CAIRNS was of opinion that the word "defend" did not imply that the person taking the oath bound him self to Ulm up arms for his sovereign. Mr. NEWDEOATE appealed to the number of pets tines which be had presented to the house as indicative of the public feeling that the oath ought sot to he relaxed. Mr. DILLON thought that before the bowie pledged Itself to maintain a protestant sovereign against all comers it should endeavour to understand what • protestant really was. At present the matter appeared to be in disputa, as " Romaniaiog practices," as they were termed, were making great way in the Anglican church. All a Roman catholic be protested easiest the auriedments of Mr. Disraeli, which he considered unnec.ssarily offensive to his co-reli gioststs. Ms. CHAMBERS thought the hones bad gone quite far enough in modifying oaths, and argued that to declare that the Queen was supreme lathe courts of law was merely to smart a truism. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER deprecated a goneral dismission, end recommended that the house should go into committee on the bill. The house thee went into committee. Oa the first clause, relating to the proposed oath of allegiance, Mr. DLSRAELI moved to add the following paregvaph : —" And I do faithfully promise to maintain, support, and defend the succession to the crown, as the same stands limited sad settled by an set passed in the reign of King William 111., intithrid 'An sot for the further limitation of the crown, and better securing the rights and liberties of the subject.' " This was agreed to. Mr. DLSRAELI next proposed to add another paragraph in these words :—" And I do further solemnly declare that bee Majesty Is, under God, the only supreme go- vernor of this realm, and that no fore* peace, prelate, State, or potentate hath any jurisdiction or authority in any of the courts witbia the ems." ice opposed the motion on two grounds—first that the words were inoongruous with and unnecessary to the object of the oath • and secondly, that it would be obviously mieekievous in i tself. It was • mere abstract declaration, a truism, and • platitude wily of use aa a Met, But this was not all, for it could not be said that it was even harmless, insummah as it redly limited the jurisdiction of the Queen. Sir H. Cairns and Mr. Whiteside supported the amend ment, which was opposed by Lord E. Howard sad Mr. ar 2 sii• On a division it was negatived by 236 to 222. The obtuse containing the oath of allegiance, as proposed by the government, with the paragraph relating to the sue ' cession guided, wee thee agreed to, and the bill passed through committee.

We. it the iatentionof the committee thatth e Fe at ion ame net the return of Mr. Morley should be taken immedietely after the other' Mr. Bonham-Carter replied that they would betaken toge ther. Mr. Bpoforth thought the two petitions could not be heard before ~committee, and that for the ale of sou veoience the committee should bear the case against Sir Robert Clifton before going into that against Mr. Morley. The Chairman did sot think that the general committee could appoint two committees in raineece to one case. Mr. Wyatt inquired if the coalmines would adjourn over Easter week, is the event of their inquiry not 'agog con cluded before that time. The Charm-a observed that the committee had no power under the act of parliament of varying the course of proceeding prescribed by that act, and when the committee was coca ap pointed they must if neeetsary sit all through the recess. The act of parliament of last main merely related to a circumstance that happened during the recess. If the agents had had any application to make on the ground that one petition would take the whole !of the recess, and bed made it a little earlier, the general committee might have considered it, and with the assent of both parties the matter might have been put off. The agents on both sides stated that they had no objection to offer to any of the names.

The Chairman said it might be convenient for the agents to know that the committee would meet again next week, in order to arrange the number of petitions to be takes.

John Ilumplrey, 18, a respectable-looking young man, surrendered to take his trial upon the charge of feloniously throwing a deg at a train upon the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway, with intent to injure the passengers tra velling by it. He wee also charged with the misdemeanour of usaultieg Heart Wells, a guard of the train. Mr. Herniae was instructed to prosecute on behalf of the company ; Mr. Ribton appeared for the prisoner. The cimumstarrees of this ease were very remarkable. The prisoner was in the service of a ration fn the neigh bourhood of Bromley ; and it appeared that on the 16th of December his master told him to takes dog that was about the premises away, and get rid of it in some way or other. He appeared at first to have tried to sell the dog, but eonld not emceed, and be thou endeavoured to give it away, but was equally unsuccessful, and he then appeared to have hese struck with the idea of throwing it over ore of the bridges of the railway upon the line. An express train Gene up at the moment, and the dog struck against the glass In front of the guard's van, broke the thick plate gime of which it was composed, and struck Wells, the guard, each a violent blew as to render him inseesible for a considerable time. Fortunately there was another guard in the carriage, and he did what he could to restore his com panion, and the dog was found lying dead at the bottom of the carriage. There did not seem to be any evidence that the prisoner had the least intention of sawing mischief, and it was, oo doubt, merely an act of thoughtleasnem on his part, which might, however, have been attended with very serious coesequences. Mr. Ribton having called his lordship's attention to the facts of the ease, said that his learned friend who append for the prosecution felt that the evidence was not eotßrient to support the charge of felonious intent on the part of the primmer ; and with regard to the minor charge, be felt that be could not straggle against a conviction for that °trawl, and the prisoner would, therefore, pleed guilty to it. He at the same time reminded his lordship that although the prisoner bad, no doubt, acted most improperly in throwing the dog upon the railway, if it had not bees for the extra. ordinary coincidence of en express train ooming up at the moment, no mischief whatever would have beau done. The Lord Chief Baron said—Or if it had been a luggage train, travelling at the reasonable rate of fifteen miles an boor, all that would probably have happened would have been that the dog would have had a journey to London for nothing. (A Lush.) Mr. Ribtoe—Ha might, perhaps, have got iota trouble for riding without a ticket (Renewed laughter.) The prisoner having pleaded guilty to the indictment, Several witnesses were then called, who gave him an ex cellent character, and The Lord Chief Baron ordered him to enter into recog nissoc.s io small amount to rimier and naive judgment if he should be milled upon to do so. MIDLAND CIRCIIIT.—Nommuum, MAacs 15. Clown Court.—(Before Mr. Justice Keating.) TES Buenos RIOTS AT ROTTISGRAIL Thirteen persons surrendered on bail to take their trial on the *hero of rioting at the late election at Nottleg. bate, in July 1886. Mr. Berjeant O'Brien appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., for the prisoners. Two affidavits were put in on the part of the prosecutioe, stating that in the preemie excited state of the town a fair and impartial trial could sot be ob tained ; it was therefore requested that the tried sbeuld be put off until the summer arises. Mr. Seymour, fee the defaces, made no objection, and his lordship accordingly postponed the Vials. One of the rioters, named Mary Wakefield, was discharged. SOUTH WALES CIRCIIIT.--SwAiisn, lima 15.

Other Memos. could not speak so positively to the day when it was borrowed. Whim retorted, the are wee dirty aid sotebed. Henry Cooper and Polimaapseiatendent Wren proved ststeinests made by the prisoner, who, when asked (after Davis was missing) what be had done with him, said he bad left him going towards the Dyffron wood (where the body was found). When in custody he made a stitemest as to how be had spent the Saturday 'vendee and &today, and accounted for all his time on the Saturday evening except about half an hour. The seat piece of evidence wee meet important ; it was that of Samuel Brans, who deposed that the prisoner worked for him three weeks in October. One day the primmer asked him if he had heard of anybody having been murdered at Mountain Ash, adding that it wee the talk of the people there, sod that the murdered =Ws head had been chopped off.

He found several severe cuts io the skull, some of them peeetrating through the skull, quite through. There were similar cuts in the lower jaw, • portion of the jaw being sliced off. The blows on the vertebra most have severed the bead from the body. One of the vertebra was crushed so as to be indistieguishable. The hatchet produced was each as insthunest sa would have caused these wounds. Dr. Brows corroborated the evidence of the last witness, and added that he submitted the hatchet to examination, and found blood in • deep notch in it, but Gould notary that it was human blood, though he believed it was. It certanly was Dot the blood of sheep, pig, or cow. Dr. Hemel* received the hatchet on the Ist of March, and submitted it to a chemical examination. He toned no trams of blood superficially, sad cut off sections of she' , wood from the handle under the ring.
