Char!, nier, 24 years of age, described as a fruiterer, livin p g• at 3, New Ivy-street, lloaton, was charged hofore Mr. Ellison, with king concerned with others not yot apprehended, in stealing from the person of Mr. Henry Alexander Donaldson a silver watch and a gold chain, value 11/. lls. The prosecutor, a gentleman residing at 1, Islington gru,n, stated that about 12 o'clock yesterday he had just alighted from an omnibus in Tabernaele-square, Finsbury, and before lie had time to turn himself round, a man ru,hed at him, seized his watch chain from bawd, obtained posse,siou of both guard and chain, and instantly made off. Prosecutor, in concert with another man who had seen the act, pursued the man through seve ral courts and bark streets till ho was caught, the watch and chain being taken from his hand. Suddenly they were surrounded by a number of roughs of the lowest class, the prisoner being one of the forward ones; he pushed himself between the thief and his captor, and by the exercise of great strength succeeded in releas ing the man by pushing him backwards until his coat gave way at the collar. The man thus freed made his way out of the crowd and got clear off. Thomas Perfect, a carman, of 37, Brunswick-place, Holton, corroborated the evidence throughout, and added that the prisoner, who was well known to him, was the person who rescued the other man. Wraight, police-constable 177 G, proved apprehending prisoner. He was remanded for the arrest of the others to be effected. SOUTRWARK. PINOT - 11R ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN A CHEMIST'S SHOP. limey Bali, 19, a young man of respectable appearance, was placed at the bar, charged with at tempting to commit suicide by swallowing a quantity of laudanum, at the shop of Mr. Rackham, chemist and druggi , t, 119, Lower-marvh, Lambeth. Mr. Rackham said that the previous afternoon, about 3 o'clock, the prisoner came into his shop and re quested to be supplied with some laudanum, handing him a small phial to put it in. Re said he required it for the tooth ache. Witness only gave him a drachm, the largest quantity allowed by law, and as soon as he placed it on the counter, and aske d for the money, he snatched it up, pulled out the cork, and got it to his mouth. There was a female in the shop, and witness called on her to prevent him from swallowingit. He was, however, too quick for them, and swallowed the greatest portion. lie then called in a constable and gave him into custody. In answer to the magistrate, witness said he put sixty drops in the bottle, and if prisoner had swallowed the whole of it, it would ive sent him to sleep, and might have injured him. The Magistrate asked the prisoner what he intended to do when he swallowed the laudanum. He replied that he did not know. He came from Coven try about a mouth ago to look for work, and was unable to find uuy. The Magistrate remanded the prisoner for a few days to enable the countable to make inquiries about him.

SUICIDE FROM WESTM INSTER-BRlllGE.—Yester day a melancholy suicide was committed from West minster-bridge by a respectably-dressed man about 30 years of age. The deceased was walking over the bridge towards the Westminster-road, when he was noticed sud denly to mount the parapet and leap into the Thames. As he went he cried out Good bye, all." Assistance was almost immediately at hand, but his body was carried away by the tide, and could not be recovered. The name of the deceased is not known. - Arrimrr TO MURDER.—Yesterday, at the Dar lington police-court, Jonathan Woodman was charged with an attempt to murder Percy Gibson, the manager of the Skerne ironworks. The prisoner was employed at the works as a labourer, and seems to have fancied that he received some affront from another man being put to work that day by the foreman whilst he was not. He left the works about half-past 6 in the morning, and re turned about half-peat 9. Ho was then under the influ ence of liquor. He told a workman named Coultas. that he would murder the manager, Mr. Gibson. Seeing this witness some time after, he told him that if he thought he had mentioned the matter to Gibson he would kill him, and held up a knife. The witness went away to find Gibson, but some little time elapsed, during which another man saw the prisoner, whom he asked if he had seen Gibson, and remarked, "God have mercy on him, for I'll have none." Coahuila, seeing Gibson going to wards where the prisoner was, shouted to him, but failed to attract his attention. On Gibson getting near the prisoner the latter yelled out and rushed at him with an uplifted table-knife, aiming a blow at his neck. Gibson jumped back to avoid the blow, and received it on his breast, just over the heart. The blow fell with such vick:nee as to take away his breath, though, owing to the bad character of the steel and the bluntness of the top, which was rounded off, it did not pene trate the clothing. He then grappled Gibson, and got him down, striking him with the weapon, which had been bent in a remarkable manner by the blow on the breast, on the groin. The trousers, which were very thick, were cut through, and the shirt showed a cut, but the skin only a slight abrasion. The prisoner followed up with other blows, cutting Gibsou's finger and face, though only slightly. Prisoner, who was foaming at the mouth, was arrested by his fellow workman. Though considerably frightened, Gibson escaped comparatively unhurt The prisoner, on being conveyed to the police-station, remarked to the officers—" It is queer how a thought comes across a man. I just thought I would go down and cut his throat. Perhaps it would have been as well for both him and me if I had." Prisoner :vu committed for trial at the arises.

He admitted that there had been numerous acconimodation bill transactions between him end Mr. Stock, but he said they had ceased now because his theatre was closed. Mr. Montagu Williams asked Mr. Lacy if he had been indemnified in any way by Mr. Stock. Ile replied that he had not. He also stated that be oc casionally lived at the theatre, but he had a country re sidence at Belvedere, in Kent. Mx. Montagu Williams submitted that after the ad- OM that had been made by the proposed bail that accommodation bill transactions to a large amount had taken place between them, the security was not sufficient to ensure the appearance of Madame Rachel at the next sessions. Mr. Sleigh said it had been stated that these accommo dation transaction' had ceased. The defendant had never attempted to get out of the way, and he submitted that the securities were sufficient. The Recorder said that after the admission that there had been accommodation bill transactions to a large amount between the parties, he did not feel justified in ac cepting the bail that was offered. Alderman Rose, who was upon the bench, said that he was told by the Recorder that he had a share in the res ponsibility, and he felt compelled to say that he entirely concurred in the opinion he bad expressed. The defendant was then taken into custody and removed into the gaol of liewgate. MINE-(THIS DAY.) ONE O'CLOCK.

This show begins to-day (Thursday) with the trial of ploughs and field implements, and the preliminary trial of steam cultivators, on farms belonging to Messrs. Stone and Miles, in the parishes of Ayleston and Knighton, about a mile south of the show ground. The judges for steam cultivators will be Messrs. J. F. Bramwell, E. A. Cooper, John Coleman, John Rooks, and John Barnsley; for ploughs, Messrs. T. P. Dodds, 0. M. Hipwell, and J. Wheatley ; and for cultivators, Messrs. T. Chambers, jun., F. Sherborn, and W. Roberts. The judges having com pleted their selection of implements for the competition, proceed to the trial ground to make arrangement. for the opening of the contest at 9 a.m. Owing to the long drought, which has made the ground very unfavourable for the work, it is questionable whether the final trial will not be postponed until a more favourable timo, which and the place of trial I. left to the discretion of the judges. The show ground has now assumed a very busy aspect with the arrival of implements. Over 150 waggons were unloaded by the Midland Railway Company at their new aiding on Monday, 140 on Tuesday, and yester day (Wednesday) about 230 had been discharged up to the time of the despatch of this parcel. Ample arrangements are made for the unloading of 500 waggons daily, so that there is no fear of any "block" ensuing from the rush which will evidently follow during the few remaining days for the receipt of things. But little more than half the goods have arrived, and although the quan tity now on the ground is nearly as great as at Bury St. Edmunds last year, still, owing to the large area of ground and the concise arrangement of the shedding, it looks, comparatively speaking, infinitesimal. The catalogue has just been issued, and in it will be found 337 stands and 6,369 entries for implements, Sc., against 282 stands, and 4,804 entries last year. Amongst the arrivals within the past few days have been goods from the following firms:— Mr. J. L. Norton, London, who will show his patent tube well, supplied to the army in Abyssinia; Misers.

The corpse was in an advanced state of decomposition, the head had become separated from the trunk, and the limbs were falling off. A. pistol was lying between his legs, and there was a bullet hole in the skull.

The queen is said to have been a skilful musician. Some pages of the book have been evidently often turned over, others but seldom looked at. The leaves that are soiled are those on which the simplest tunes are written ; the others contain the varia tions nod more intricate pitasages. Although her Majesty has the reputation of having been an accomplished per former upon the virginal, this music-book proves that she was wont to skip the more irksome compositions, and indulge in the less laborious pastime of playing the tunes only. It is an easy way of acquiring the reputation of a pianist, to get together many of the most difficult pieces of Thal berg, Liszt, and others, and play only the melodies they arrange, avoiding the brilliant passages which are so diffi cult to master, and often so puzzling to listen to. I rather think Queen Elizabeth did this with the music of the Liszt. and Thalberge of her day, judging from her made book.-19entireedie' • Mayarier for July. 1868. NONEY MARKET.-alli3 DAY.)

It seemed that in February last the vessel sailed from Newport, bound for St. Vincent, the prisoner being one of the crew. Boon after she got out to sea he evinced • disposition to shirk work, complaining that he was ill. lie was off duty some days, and when the 'Thorwaldsen arrived at the port of Pensaesda he wanted to be sent into hospital. The captain took him ashore and bad him examined by a medical man, who certified that Travis was fit for work. The consul also directed that he should remain on board the vessel. He seems to have entertained an ill-feeling against the captain because the latter would not take bun ashore a second time. On the night of the 17th of April, Traria hurled • porter bottle at the head of the captain, but missed his mark. He then drew a knife and stabbed the master under the left ear, inflicting • very severe and dangerous wound, from which Captain Willis is still suffering. The lobe of the ear was severed, and now adhered to the neck, and the prosecutor's mouth Is so much drawn on one side that he retains his food with difficulty. The prisoner was remanded.

" KIND WORDB."—The Petersburg Express (a Southern paper), addressee " Some Plain and Kind Words to the Negro Voters," which rather outdo in kindness anything we have yet seen. We quote same of the kind words :—" We are opposed to your having the right to vote, because we do not believe that you yet have knowledge enough to exercise the right judiciously or understandingly. None of your race, as yet, anywhere on the face of the earth, his had sense enough to establish a self-govern i ng people. You have always Wed, when without the guiding influence and control of the white race. Don't go to the elections. Stay away from the poll*, if you wish to remain among us in your old haunts and homes. Your only rights are, to be treated as human beings, but of an inferior order. If the God of Nature intends your equality with the white man„ he exhibited (with reverence be it said) very little wisdom in your structure of mind or body, and has reserved the development of that equality to be displayed in eternity. If yon aspire to that squall on the earth, be assured it is not attainable by you. If you madly attempt to clutch it by force, yen will be swept, as stubble by fire, from this region, which you will do beet, we kindly admonish you, to enjoy in subordination and peace." We don't think there is very much danger of the old white politicians and alaveholdars of the lon* controlling the negro vote, if this represosis %laic iiMi of kind language. —am York Vasa 4 11 . 4 ;01 4 1 i i. 1
