This is an age of royal authorship ; and we think it probable that her Majesty is engaged, with the assist ante of Mr. Helps, in writing a memoir of the Prince Con sort.—Afhenaretsa. Tae Grx CUB.—At a meeting of the commit tee of this club held on Friday last it was decided to commence the season on Friday, March 1, at the ground, Wood-lane, Shephenrwbush, at one o'clock. There will be the regular private shooting every Tuesday at one o'clock, and taking into consideration the increase in the Jauntier of members, the committee have resolved to have a shooting meeting every Saturday at one o'clock. Itrrgausm.—A memorial on ritualism from the Brighton Church Association was presented to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace, un Friday, Feb. '22, Bleti containing 3,110 signatures, including 35 clergy, the bo'rough members, and 13 magis trates; to which his grace gave the following reply : "Gmtlemen, Members of the Committee of the Brighton Church Association,—l deeply lament, in common with yourselves, the confusion and strife that have ensued upon the introduction into the order and worship of our church of various novelties in dress and ritual, sym bolical of enoneous doctrines. I have just reason to ap prehend that these practices will alienate from our com munion many devout worshippers ; and I desire to assure you that my influence and authority will be exerted to the utmost to check the progress of this peat evil—C. T. CANTI'.III, Lambeth Palace, Feb. 22, 1067." W e understand that the candidates at the Army Medical Examination on Monday were ten below the num ber required, and a few have been plucked, making a fur ther slight deficiency. Forty-five vacancies were an nounced, and only thirty•five candidates presented them hehLq. The competitive character of the examination is of c.urse altogether destroyed by the present unpopularity of the service, which the authorities are doing their best to itiere.e.—Britisk 31,,1ical Journal. A FATAL ifil."EL. l An woo was lately given of the death in a duel of Prince Bernard de Solna, his ""g o T.i't being Count de We.lell. This latter is not unknow n in France owing to the incidents connected with tin famous ballooning expedition of the " Giant," which, to! may is• remembered, made its descent in Hanover. M. iu relating his serial excursion and all that followed could not find sufficient expressions of gratitude for the count, who lavished the most courteous attentions on the semn.mt. After the battle of Langensalsa, in which the H..noverian troops covered themselves with glory, the Prin ce of Solms a nd hi s brother bad to answer before • en ,, rt martial for their conduct during the action. They both acquitted, but the issue of the tri a l, it is attliiied, find not effaced from the minds of certain officers of the Hanoverian army the unfavourable impression of the neat moment. The duel is attributed to an expression of that feeling, which was resented by the other party.— Gal •.9nu tii. F. I Extreme. I 12 • 7317 W. * 3 2 6 7 *.W. ! 8 3 W.S.

Poet Meet &N.W. of France THE JAMAICA PROSECUTIONS. runTtim: EXAMINATION OF COLONEL NELSON .INli I.IErTENANT I;ILtND .— ITHIb DAY.) Sir Thiiiiiits Henry, the chief magistrate, again sat at Bowoitmet police-court, this morning, specially to hear the further proceedings in the prosecution of Colonel Nelson and Lieutenant Brand for the murder of George William Conlon, at Morant Bay, Jamaica, in MI. Mr. Fitzjames Stephen and Mr. J. Home Payne, in structed by Meson , . hhaen and Roscoe. prosecuted ; Mr. Ilannen and Mr. Poland, instructed by Mr. (lode, solicitor to the War-office, appeared for Colonel Nelson ; and Mr. Bristow, solicitor to the Admiralty, for Lieutenant Brand. The prisoners were again accommodated with seats at the attorneys' table. Mt. Stephen said that Mr. Philippe wished to correct one or two errors which had arisen in his former examina. tion, and theme was also one or two points which he, Mr. Stephen, wished to clear up. Mr. Philipp° was then recalled. St.plitn-- I understand that you are acquainted with the law and history of Jamaica. Ni. 'laymen objected to any evidence of history. Sir Thonias Henry—You must take it as matter of law• The witness then stated that an act was passed by the Jamaica Legislature, in 1664, declaring the law of England in force in Jamaica. At that time the legislature had power to pass law which remained in force. There was no further attempt to legislate till MA;. In the meanwhile the powers of the Assembly had been altered, giving them authority to paha permanent laws, unless dis allowed by the King. In that year u similar statute (de. daring the laws of England in force in Jamaica) was p a ssed by the legislature anti remained in force till dis allowed. It was disallowed, and so were two subsequent acts to the same effect. During the interval it remained a matter of question to what extent the laws of England were in force in Jamaica. This state of things arose from a question as to the right of the King to tax the people of Jantaic.i. The legislature refused to pass an act to provide for the permanent revenue. ' Mr. Ktephen— And the King claimed to enforce what laws he please(l? Mr. 11.dinen objected, and Mr. Stephen did not in cR.I the question. The witness then went on to state that the Ist George 11., c. I, declared that all laws of England previously held to be laws of Jamaica should be and continue so for ever. The 4th ic., c. 11, , repealed that act, but re-enacted the section as to the laws of England. Mr. l'hilippo then proceeded to correct some inaccuracies in the former statement, for which purpose he was allowed to revise the depositions. Mr. Barnett, the shorthand writer, was recalled, and produced his notes of the examination of lieutenant Brawl before the Jamaica Commission at Spanish Town, Jamaica, and spoke to the accuracy of the transcript as already published in the Blue-hook. He statvil that 'a fore being examintsl Lieutenant Brand was cautioned that lie was not bound to answer any question which he might consider adverse to his interest. The passages held to be material by the counsel for the prosecution and defence respectively, and marked by them in consultation, were entered on the depositions. As, however, it was found that some misapprehension haul arisen with regard to one or two passages, Sir Thomas Henry suggested that Mr. Banuett should put in the whole of his notes, and then either party could refer to any question they pleased. Mr. Barnett, jun., who assisted his father in taking notes of the proceedings of the commission, proved the transcript of a portion of the examination of Colonel Nelson. Mr. Bounden produced several documents, amongst which was the draft proclamation. In answer to Mr. Bristow he wu not able to my whether it was in the handwriting of the Attorney- General. Sir Thomas Henry said it was quite clear that he was present. . . . . Mr. Bristow—Yes, sir ; but I can prove that he actually wrote• it with his own hand. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Hannen, for Colonel Nelson, contended that what had Ixen done Ay the defendants was legally justifiable. The learned gentleman was proceeding to maintain that both gentlemen ought to be discharged when our report left. SHOCKING WIFE MURDER IN YORKSHIRE. Yesterday, at the Barnsley police court, the sitting magistrates were occupied for several hours investi gating the circumstances of a most cruel and heartless murder. The victim of the crime is Elizabeth Jubb, the wife of a nut hawker, named Joseph Jubb, alida Moss, residing at Thurlstone, a village about nine miles from Barnsley. Mr. Thomas Oreenait Hamer appeared for the prosecution. The evidence adduced was very volu minous, sixteenwitnesses being called for the prosecution. The testimony of a majority, however, was of a circum stantial character. It appeared that the prisoner and his wife had for years led a very unhappy life, owing to his dimiipated habit., and his conduct towards the deceased bad been of the most cruel kind. On one occasion he had broken her arm in a drunken fit, and on another occasion be had kicked her front teeth out. In fact the poor creature had continually marks of violence upon her person. The deceased was far advanced in pregnancy. About a fortnight ago she died somewhat suddenly, and this led to an inquiry before Mr. Taylor, coroner for the honour of Pontefract. An open verdict was returned, the jury finding that deceased had died from violence, but how or by whom inflicted there was no evidence to show. The police authorities, however, further investigated the matter, and the information obtained from the residents of the village led to the apprehension of the prisoner on a charge of munler. At the conclusion of the evidence, the prisoner was com mitted to take his trial at the assize on a charge of wilful murder. REPRESENTATION OF EAST SUFFOLK.—CoIoneI Adair, the unsuccessful liberal candidate for East Suffolk, has issued an address, in which he announces his intention to offer himself again at the first opportunity. " The result of a poll taken after a brief canvass," says the gallant colonel, "shows that you have added largely to your strength, while the numbers of the conservative party have ron.ained stationary." The Norfulk News says: We congratulate the liberals of East Suffolk on the marked progress they are making towards complete suc cess. NS ith an enlarged suffrage, which before long must come, Colonel Adair will be the topmost man in East Suffolk. We beg our friends to organise and unite for the next opportunity, and we doubt not that the minority, which has been ever growing towards a majority, will have at length a full reward for its efforts, and a compen sation for its honourable defeats, in the triumphant return of the man who has fought the uphill fight so nobly." UNIVERSITY COLLEOI.—Mr. W. D. Christie (our late Minister in Brazil) and Dr. W. B. Hodgson, who re signed his seat on the Council of University College in consequence of the recent infraction of its unsectuien principle, have given notice of motions for the annual meeting of the college, to be held next Wednes day at 3 p.m., which are, we hope, chiefly intended to extract some explanation front the majority of the council, who stayed away from the recent special meet ing, of their reasons for acting as they did. Professor Key stated at the recent special meeting that the council could not concur in any single statement of their reasons, because their reasons were complex, and various in the ease of various councillors. This difficulty, if the true one, might obviously be easily removed by oral explana tions from the individual members of the majority, and we confess we think the college has a tight to expect such explanations before their term of office is renewed. We should, for our own parts, regret to see any attempt made to renew the battle of the 2nd inst. A beating is a beat ing, which should be accepted by the defeated party—not of course without loss of confidence in the actual adminis tration, which is inevitable, but without renewing the attempt to force on the majority principles which they dislike, anti have shown the requisite numerical strength to repudiate.—Spectafor. THE CAMBRIDGE UNIYEISITY UNION SOCIETY.— The subject debated on Tuesday evening last was "That in the opinion of this house her Majesty's government have exhibited a patriotic sense of duty and a sincere desire to settle the reform question in the scheme they have laid before parliament on the subject." This was proposed by Mr. W. A. Lindsay, Trinity College, and supported by Mr. C. Greene, Trinity ; Mr. H. C. Winter, St. Catharine's ; Mr. E. A. Owen, Trinity ; Mr. J. W. Tipping, Trinity; and Mr. It. Purvis, Downing. It was opposed by Mr. N. Moore, St. Catharine'. ; Mr. G. C. Whiteley, St. John's ; Mr. E. S. Shuckburgh, Emmanuel ; Mr. F. T. Payne, Trinity Hall ; Lord E. Fitsmaurice, Trinity ; Mr. H. Rigg, Trinity ; Mr. J. F. Moulton, St. John's ; and Mr. E. Gates, Sidney Sussex. The division was:—For the motion, 94 ; against, 36; majority for the motion, 48. The subject for next Tuesday 'e debate is : "That in the opinion of this house, the prosecution of Ex- Governor Eyre is unjust and uncalled or." Proposed by Mr. Vincent, of Queen's College.—Ca fa/Jr - if/9e Independent.

As usual on a Saturday there is little business in the Stock Exchange, but the tendency of prices on the whole is better than yesterday. English government securities are in request, and Consols have experienced a rise of per cent. for money. The dealings exhibit en increased number of bond fide purchases. The improvement in British rail way stocks and foreign bonds ranges from to 1 per cent., the chief movement being in Turkish of 1865 and Chilian Scrip, Thu latter has been favourably affected by the announcement just made with regard to the pro posed further issue of Chilian stock here. With the exception of the March Exchequer Bills, which have declined about 55., upon the notification that the rate of interest has been reduced from 4 to 3 per cent., other branches are quiet, and quotations generally unaltered. In the discount market to-day the rate for good bills is unchanged, at 23 to b per cent, but there is less demand. Short loans on English government securities aro obtainable in the Stock Exchange at II to 2 per cent. Consols are now quoted 904 to 91 both for money and the account (March 7). Foreign stocks are in demand, and the general course of prices is favourable. Turkish Bonds of 1865 have advanced / per cent. ; Chilian scrip, ti ; Mexican, 1 ; and Spanish Passive and Certificates, as well as Russian scrip, 1. Turkish Bonds of 1865 are quoted 31 to ; Greek, 151 to 16 ; Spanish Passive, 221 to 23 ; ditto Certificates, 141 to 15 ; Italian of 1861, 53; to 54/ ; Mexican, 171 to 18 ; Russian Scrip, n to N prem. ; Chili= Scrip, 1/ to g dis ; and Danu bian Scrip, 1 die. to par.

Mr. Laing's scheme for raising 652,3001. by an issue of 5 per cent. debenture stock of the Great Eastern Railway Company has been received favourably in the Stock Exchange, and it is believed that the amount will be readily taken up. No bullion operations were reported a the Bank yesterday. There was rather more demand, how ever, for gold for Paris, and the market at the moment is bare of supplies. The total known to be on the way from Australia to England is only 172,0001. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon pre sented no alteration of importance from last Tues day's rates.

At Frankfort and Brussels the quotation is 2 ; at Vienna, 6 ; at Hamburg, 21 ; at Turin, 6 ; at Berlin, 3 ; at St. Petersburg, 8 ; and at Am sterdam, 3i per cent. Advices from Manchester announce the stoppage of Messrs. Porteus and Paul, merchants, chiefly connected with the Irish trade. The following, with reference to telegraphic communication between England and America, has been received from an official source : Mr. Cyrus W. Field hen arrived in Loudon. The object of his visit is to enter into • contract with the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company, on behalf of the New York, Newfoundland, and Loudon Telegraph Com pany, for the immediate manufacture and laying of a sub marine cable between Placentia, Newfoundland, and some point on the continent of America. When this line is completed, the uncertainty of the present communication, by the land lines getting out of repair, will be in • great measure, if not entirely, removed. T he public may not be aware of the fact that the two cables of the Anglo- American Telegraph Company are employed at present on an average about four hours out of every twenty-four. They are in every respect in the must perfect condition for the transmission of =mange.. It is understood that the report of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company will be issued on Monday. The Trust and Agency Company of Austra lasia (Limited) have just publicly announced the emission of a further issue of share capital. The business of this company is confined to lend ing money on mortgage, and the present is the fourth issue of 12,500 shares. The previous issues were absorbed entirely by the then existing share holders, who in many instances paid up their shares in full, taking interest in priority of dividend on the amount paid beyond the sum called up. The large number of shares so paid upon induced the directors to offer the present issue conditionally on the shares being likewise paid up in full, and again the existing shareholders take 70,0001. out of 125,0001., the amount of the issue, leaving but 5,500 shares, or 55,0001. for allotment to the public. No deposit will be required with the applications for s ha res, all money being pay able after allotment. The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 4831. over last year. The second ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the English and American Bank (Limited) will he held on the sth of March, " to receive the accounts to the 31st of December last, with a report of the directors, and to declare a dividend." The annual meeting of the British Land Com pany (Limited) was held yesterday. The balance of profit, after paying the interim dividend (7,000/4, amounts to 34,9351., and a further dividend of 5 per cent., and a bonus of 10 per cent., free of income-tax, were declared, making a total distribu tion of 20 per cent. for the year. The balance left to be carried forward is 12,900/. The ordinary general meeting of the Grosvenor Hotel Company (Limited) was held yesterday. The report of the directors showed that the profits made were not sufficient to justify the declaration of a dividend for the half-year ; but the chairman, in the course of his remarks, explained the circum stances which had tended to keep down the re ceipts, and expressed a hope that when the im provements in the neighbourhood are completed, the number of visitors to the hotel will greatly increase. He added that the shareholders may then fairly look for a resumption of their dividends. After some discussion regarding certain details of management, the report was unanimously adopted. At the meeting of the Tahiti Cotton and Coffee Plantation Company, held yesterday, the directors' report was adopted. It is anticipated that 70,0001b5. of clean cotton will be picked per month during the year, and that it will yield three times the amount of expenditure required. Since the balance-sheet, extending to the 31st December last, was made up, a cargo of cotton has arrived, and has been sold for 8,0001. A general meeting of the East India Land Credit and Finance Company (Limited) is called for the 7th of March, to receive the directors' report. I The letters of allotment for the New Danubian 3. Pr ncipalities Loan were issued yesterday morn ing. The course of the market for this stock seems to show that, especially in the case of a speculative foreign loan, it is advisable to require a deposit from the applicants by way of guarantee. The suddenness with which the allotment letters have appeared has taken some of the weaker applicants by surprise, es pecially as it was stated in the prospectus that subscriptions were to be received m several of the continental markets. Whether this loan has re ceived any support from the holders of the stock of lSti4 is nut at present known ; but, making every allowance for the regularity which has been ob served by the Danubian government in making the remittances on aeoiiiit of that loan, we have hero another instance of the prejudicial effect exercised upon prior iiikrts when a state borrows too rapidly. FINNEY EVENING. Console, which closed yesterday at 90/ to 91 for the 7th of March, closed to-day at the same quotation. For money the last price was 90/ to 4.

Tun New Bernell-LOADERS.—We are sorry to learn on good authority that the trial of the newly converted Enfield rides to breech-loaders (Snider pattern), which took place at Aldershot during the past week by two esompames of the 66th and Net Regiments, for the pur pose of Meting their accuracy and rapidity in shooting, is not very favourable, and has shown a great many defects, either in the arms or ammunition. In firing for accuracy, whi c h t oo k place at 500 and 700 yanls hy, 20 mea of the best enots. the figure of merit obtained was not nearly as good as with the Enfield rifle before conversion to • breech-loader, and, in some instances, mine of the men failed to hit the target out of five rounds. Another great fault found was thatalmost in every instance in which the men did not oversight their rifles it was ascertained that the bullet dropped short of the dis tance. lu Ming fur rapidity the time taken to fire 10 rounds was as near as possible one minute and forty seconds, but in this practice the figure of merit obtained was very low. In a great many instances the men after firing experienced considerable difficulty in removing the ease which contained the powder and bullet from the breech ; a large number of the cartridges bunt ; therefore, the effects of their fire was lost, besides, in some instances. is was found impossible to ignite them. The ball-cartridge used on this occasion is different to what was first issued for use with the breccia-leaders, and is considered much better ; the difficulty found in extracting the ammunition case from the breech, the bursting and non-explosion of some of tho cartridges, is considered attributable to the imperfect con struction of the arms.—Army and Nary Gazette. DANORROUS ACCIDENT TO LOAD KENLIM.—WO regret to state that a rather serious accident hail Lon/ Knuth., on Wednesday last, near Melling, which, bow s% er, might easily have been much worse. Ilia lord ship wan driving four-in-hand, and near the bottom of an incline in the road the homes were going smartly to get the usual impetus to ascend the next, when number of cows came upon the road from an adjoining watering-place. The cows became "skeary," and were instantly among the hones, and the effect upon the spirited team may easily be imagined. One of the leaders almost jumped over a cow, the other stumbled, and the wheelers both fell. The effect of the sudden and powerful pelt dragged Lord Kenlia franc his seat and threw him among the struggling horses. His lordship extricated himself with the assistance of his servants, but not before he had sustained the fracture of an arm from a kick of one of the frightened animals, while tee next kick nar rowly missed Lord Kenlis's head, and another smashed the spokes of one of the wheels. We are glad to hear that his lordship, beyond the fracture and a severe Shake, no worse.— Westawreiand Mudge.
