The Nazione of the 31st ult. says :—" The ministerial crisis that during yesterday appeared far from its termination took a turn in the evening, according to information obtained by us from authentic sources, and may now be considered at an end. Signor Lanza, when asked to accept the Finance portfolio, laid down certain conditions re specting his entry into the cabinet that General La Marmora could not accept. It being seen therefore that an understanding was impossible, negotiations were broken off after a final conference held yes terday at midday. In the evening the portfolio of Finance was, it is said, offered to Signor Scialoia, the senator, who accepted it in consideration of the gravity of the situation and the necessities of the country. A Finance Minister once found, the forma tion of the cabinet no longer presented any difficulty. Signor Chiavas will, it is said, retain the portfolio of the Interior • Signor Jacini that of Public Works ; General La Marmora, with the presidency, the ministry of Foreign Affairs. We have not yet heard the names of the other ministers, but we believe we shall know them in the course of to-morrow." The Diritto, the organ of the Left, says, in its impression of the same day : the hope that General Ls Marmara would snood is forming a misistry is one, mon dinappeialede---Aar we her saw, Signor Luna could not apse with him, and &Wain is therefore spoken ofinow an the future Finance minister. Amid so many contradictory reports, all that is certain and evident is that the patience of the country is being shame fully and indecently abused. It is as though Italy were meant to be the sport of these men ; destined to wait and remain in doubt while they arrange their own affairs in the best way they one. This want of respect ter the country, the country that yet is substentially the master of all, is a characteriaticeign of the opinions and the ideal that prevail among a pertain party. The blame, perhaps, does not wholly rest with those man. In no other country would a party think itself at liberty so to abuse public patience ; nor would any think so in Italy, had Italy not shown since 1860 how extremely eiaily she puts up with every kind of insolence. Since General La tdarmora has not succeeded in ten days in form. log a new admipiatration, how is it he does not see that the great, the only difficulty in forming it rests with him self? Why has be not renounced, from respect to the chamber and the country if not from patriotism, a task which be now sees he moot accomplish? After so many diffi culties it is not to be supposed that he flatters himself he can form aseriousand lasting administration. JAMAICA. The Lady News publishes a letter from a member of the Jamaica House of Assembly, and lately a member of the Jamaica Privy Council, dated Spanish Town, Dec. 9, describing at some length the events of the previous two months. According to this statement the labouring classes in St. Thomas-in-the-East bad for a long time been dissatisfied with the ad ministration of justice by the magistrates, and were particularly mortified by the removal, through the cuatos and Mr. Eyre of stipendiary justice Jackson, who was regard ed the negroes as their friend. The writer finds it difficult to say by which party the affray at the Vestry-house was commenced. It is absurd, he asp, to call what followed a rebellion, for not one in dividual ever turned round to face the forces hostilely ; not a single soldier, sailor, or volunteer returned with • scratch ; w hile on our part is lees than a week over three thousand of the negroee, innocent and guilty, were sacrificed. "Of this number," he adds, "547, I am told, have been hanged by sentence of drum-head court martial, 500 shot in the woods by the Maroons, and nearly 2,000 shot by the combined forces, to say nothing of the quantity whipped. I pause here_tp uplift my heart to God, while the tear triages dawn my furrowed face, and wily Him not to cause Hie wrath to descend upon us all for this terrible slaughter of those into whom He has breathed the breath of life. It would occupy sheets to detail the individual cases of cruelty which took place during the enactment of this terrible tragedy. "God forbid that I should attempt to justify the conduct of the ill-advised negroes, but of her Majesty's Government will, as I hope, send out a commission of men of probity, they will, on inquiry, I strongly suspect, find out that the riot was only local : it was long brewing, sod owed its origin to the maladministration of justice between the two races. The various reports we heard during the reign of terror struck a com plete panic throughout the colony, but I do not be lieve auy conspiracy existed throughout the island. Our fears imposed upon our judgment. With re spout to poor Gordon, against whom the whole com munity was aroused as one man, I am strongly of opinion that time will do his memory Justice. I have not seen any document that will induce me to believe that he ever counselled any man to rise up against the Queen's government, much less to im brue their hands in their fellow-creatures' blood. That poor George was a political maniac no one will, I believe, deny ; that he has attended what were here called the Underhill meetings, and made several violent and inflammatory speeches, must be readily admitted by all who have known him ; but that he sought to change our form of government, or anything of that kind, may be dreamed of, but as it could not possibly be realised, none but terror-stricken men would entertain. "But I am afraid this horrible tragedy is not yet ended. There are upwards of 170 negroes still in the Morant Bay prison to be tried, and it is added that there is evidence sufficient to hang 70. Please look at the bloody laws which we have been passing. Their advocates say they are indispensable to our common safety. This may be admitted as far as the really guilty are concerned ; but what of the ignorant and the innocent, who are precluded from any defence on account of distance from home, to. ? "I can only learn that two men of the mixed race were concerned iu this melancholy affair, and, as I have already hinted, I am persuaded that on a just inquiry it will be found that they and thousands of the poor negroes have been murdered. It will be found, too, that the majority of murders at Morant Bay and elsewhere, an well as arson and robbery, have been committed by the liberated Africans recently introduced into that parish under the maddening influence of rum in its most alcoholic state. Ido hope the benignant government under which we hitherto enjoyed free dom of speech and action (which is for the present denied to us) will not desert us, but that we may still continue to be England's care, and that so splendid a country may no longer be left to go into that decadence from which no effort of our own can rescue us. I really do not know whether this letter will reach you ; since for the first time in the history of this country the government have con descended to intercept, and to open and read, the letters of private individuals. " Should you bear any one say that the people of the mixed race dislike the whites, pray deny it, and instance myself, whose personal affection remains as strong towards you as ever. " The negroes were shut down in the woods like game, as they fled from the soldiery ; and women, too, and their infants, and their houses razed to the ground. " We sent a message to the governor for all docu ments upon which he founded his statement that a general insurrection was on the eve of taking place. He sent some, but we cannot succeed against the majority in getting them printed. We are, there fore, iu ignorance of everything that has been going on." The same journal also contains a communication from Mr. Chamerovzow, including written statements from correspondents in the island, setting forth the state of things there as a reign of terror. All the evidence, he states, goes to show that the disturb ance at /donut Bay is traceable to a moat trivial origin. We subjoin a memorial to her Majesty, which has been signed by all the missionaries in the parish connected with the Wesleyan, Presbyterian, and Baptist Missionary Societies : IMPERIAL MERCANTILE CREDIT ASSOCIATION (thalted).

MEXICO. The Moniteur publishes the following intelligence from Mexico : The Minister of Wu has received intelligence, via &lg• land, from the expeditionary corps in Mexico to 28th Nov. from the capital of that country, and to the 20th December from Vera Cruz The whole of the information transmitted by the marshal commandiug-in-chief is satisfactory. Com plete tranquillity prevails in the greater part of the pro vinces as well as in the capital ; the sanitary state of the French troops is good on all points, and no important mili tary event has occurred since the last mail. The decree of 3rd October continues to produce excelket results ; several chiefs of bands have submitted, and among them Figueroa, who was at the head of the malcon tents in the State of (*jam General Mendes is actively punning the task he has undertaken of completely pacify ing Michoacan • he is continually traversing the country at the head of lig ht movesble columns, and allows the die persed beads no opportunity of reuniting. After the de parture of General Ayinar, Corona made him appearance in the districts of Concordia and La Nona, in the state of Sinaloa ; to repress his attempts, General Rivas hes been ordered to embark at San Bias for Mazatlan with 800 Mexicans, and General Lozada has started by laud for Rosario with his Indians. The successive attacks of Esoobedo on Matamoras, already mentioned, have been resisted by General Mejia in • manner which I does him much honour; the National Gouda, oom- I posed of Mexicans and foreigners, have shown great courage and self-devotedness. The Empress Charlotte, during her stay at Vera Cruz, ion before her departure for Yucatan, was received in the most enthusiastic manner by the populations, and went to the Palace of the Ayuntainieuto in a car of honour, which the people them selves insisted on drawing. Her Majesty, who was deeply affected by those marks of sympathy, embarked on the 20th November on board the Mexican vessel Tahasco, which was escorted by an Austrian corvette. The Empress was ex pected to return to Vera Cruz between the 15th and 20th of December, _ _ . A letter in the Moniteur, from the city of Mexico, &Ws : The Minister of Public Works has written to Marshal Barrios an important letter to declare the conditions on which coocessioos of land would be made to soldiers of the French army whose term of service is about to expire, and who have expressed a desire to remain on the territory of the empire as colonists. We shall return to that document. Surveys were going on with respect to the railway to be constructed between Vera Cruz and Puebla. The official journal has published several decrees relative to merchant shipping, and one ',rants premiums to vessel which shall perform distant foreign voyages under the Mexican flag. The Book of Mexico in definitely constituted. The treaty conceding it to the Comptoir d'Esoorapte of Paris has received the Imperial ratification by a letter addressed on the 10th November to M. Dromel, the representative of the new company, and is conceived in the following terms :—" The Emperor has deigned to approve of the 0000ession made in his name to M. Firmed by the commission of Mexican Finance in Paris, under the dates of the 16th and 21st September, for the establistment of a bank in Mexico. as well as the statutes of the said bank, drawn up in Paris on the 29th of the same month. I inform you of this in reply to the request addressed to his Majesty, dated the 7th instant.—P. CESAR. —Under Secretary of Finauce."—The general revival of business has become more marked. Large transactions have been done, especially in cotton, the rates for which are still firmer. An American house has just established a m►nufactory of composition candles in this city, being the first of the kind. Mr. Pell, the Leamington magistrate, about whom there was such a disturbances week or two ago, hes requested the Lord Chancellor to take his name off the com mission of the peace for the °sooty of Warwick. NATIONAL TEMPERANCE LEACrE. Yesterday, this association held en enormous tea-party at Exeter-h►ll. There was afterwards • public meeting in the great room, which was completely filled. The chair was taken by Mr. Deputy. Assistant Judge Payne, who recited his 2,177 th Ode, by way of introducing the speakers. Addressee were delivered by the Rev. James Fleming, 8.D., from Bath, Mr. George Cruikshank, the Rev. Newman Hall, 8.D., Mr. G. M. Murphy, and Mr. Thomas Whittaker. The proceedings were of the usual character, and presented no special features for a report. The various speakers insisted with their accustomed emphasis on the blessings of total abstinence and the dangers of moderation, and their argu ments appeared to be received with the warmest approval by the crowded hall. STRIKE OF THE CARPET-WEAVERS AT KIDDER HINSTER.—The proposals of the carpet manufacturers of Kidderminster sod other pierce, with regard to the intro duction of apprentices into the trade, issued on Monday in a strike, which, if it continues, may be most detrimental to the interesta and reviving prosperity of the town. The carpet manufacturers, a few weeks ago, met a deputation of the weavers, and announced to them certain alterations which they proposed making in the trade arrangements with their wotkpeopie. One pant of their proposal had reference to an advance of wages, and this was too palpable a benefit to need any argument for inducing its acceptance. The man. ten, however, desired the weavers to admit of the intro duction of apprentices into the trade; and this question of apprentices upset the perpendicular which in other respecte obtained between masters and men. The present system, as we have Rreiriou.ly explained, virtually excludes youths of from seventeen to eighteen from the trade. They cannot take a loom at that age, and not, indeed, till they are twenty-one, and if they work in the mills after the are seventeen or eighteen they must be content with the wages of " creel" boys, whioh is only a few shillings per week. Under these circumstances a great number of them leave Kidderminster, and engage in other trades. The masters consider that the requirements of the labour market now demand an alteration in this system, and banes their desire to introduce apprentices into their mills. The men discussed the subject on Friday week, and they then reseed a resolution in condemnation of the apprenticeship scheme of the manufacturers, and expressed it as their opinion that labour should be supplied sa heretofore by the introduction of adult hand.. The masters fixed the first day of the new year for the proposed changes coming into effect, and the consequence was that • strike broke out yesterday among the men. Some of the manufacturers, it is stated, do not ears to press the ap prenticeship scheme with their workpeople, but whether this be so or not, it is to be hoped that the present later• ruptio• of work will only be temporary, and that with the experience Kidderminster has had in pest time of the dire effects of strikes, the one that has now occurred may only be a quickly pining eked.— Birmingham Doily Poet. THE MEMORIAL. To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty.—May it please your Majesty,—We, whose names are hereunto appended, Evangelical missimaries of the Wesleyan Methodist and Baptist Missionary Societies in England, and of the trailed Presbyterian Church of Scotland respectively, and labour ing in the parish of St. James, in your Majesty's island of Jamaica, beg leave to approach your Majesty with an un feigned expression of our attachment to your Majesty's person and throne, and of our gratitude for the blessings which, in common with our fellow-snbjecte, we enjoy under your Majesty's benignant reign. We deeply lament the lawless and ferocious outbreak which, as your Majesty most have been grieved to learn, took place in one of the eastern districts of this island in the month of October last, and we readily acquiesce in the righteous ooudemaation and punishment of all who were wickedly concerned in it. Your Majesty, however, will peimitus also to remark that we have been exceedingly pained by the rumoured cruel and barbarous proceedings of some at least of those who were engaged in the sup pression of the riot, and especially by the reckless and terrible destruction of life and property which, as it is asserted, has been perpetrated on the sad occasion. We know not how far these reports are worthy of credence ; bat in order that the truth may be discovered, and that for the satisfaction of the public mind, and the safety of the public interests, the causes and consequences of the out break may be truly and accurately discovered, we wow venture to implore that your Majesty may be graciously pleased to direct a full and impartial investigation by a special commission from England to be made into the whole matter, and also into the reasons for the astounding allegation that seditious and murderous designs are eaten , tailed by the black population in general, and that a mighty danger thus threatens the land. We most isemtfully prefer this request to your Majesty because we have no hope of the desired information being otherwise procured, sad because we fed we should be want log in duty to your Majesty, to ourselves, and to our fellow-countrymen, as well as to the religious bodies In England and Scotland which we represent, and other philanthropic friends of the emancipated negroes in this and other portions of your Majesty's dominion, wet, we not humbly but earnestly to supplicate for as autbori tative inquiry into an event which is unmediated in the history of the colony, which very seriously affects the iekswd at large, and from which we are pomaded. if your ' Majesty shall grant our petitioa, most impartial sod 'ski. THE GREAT FIRES AT ST. KATHARINE DOCKS. The outbreak of two other serious fires on Mon day eight in St. Katharine Docks, after the firemen had unneeded in mastering the ow which destroyed the uppe r parts of two of the warehouses in the I) division of the docks in the afternoon of that day, is an event that hen excited the greatest alarm throughout our metropolitan desks, it being now believed in assay quarters that the whole of the three fires were the work of incendiaries. The fire on Monday afternoon It will be remembered broke Mt on the top floor of the warehouse lettered H; whack, with two floors, was gutted, and through one of the iron doors being open on the fifth floor of the next warehouse, F, the fire got into that building, and burnt the same cumber of floors, with the roof. The superficial vertu, of these floors we. very large, and on account of the very heavy stock of goods warehoused in them, chiefly boles of jute, hemp, flax, and coif fibre, the mass of fire was enormous. However, by the energetic measures adopted by the Fire Brigade, in hauling the hose of nearly all the steam engines up into the upper floors and on the roofs of the remaining clump of warehouses the flames were kept within the area of the buildings H and F, while by banking up the doors of the lower floors with clay was the means of flooding them to the extent of two feet in depth, and thus prevented the fire descending. By three o'cloak the dock officials and Captain Shaw were convinced that all danger wee overcome, and during the remainder of the afternoon they mead through and through the various other warehouses, rope. daily I and K, and all were perfectly cafe. Captain Shaw bad the 00-operation of all his superintendents at the fire, viz.: Messrs. Swanton, Tevotodale, Gatehouse, and Bridges. They were stationed at various pointeolthe warehouses, and their statements confirm that of their chief in respect to the perfect security of the I and K buildings up to seven o'clock at night, though before that time many incidents had oc curred to excite their apprehension that some foul play had been going on. There was a thick party-wall separating I warehouse from H warehouse, with no oommunication what ever between them, as in the other buildings, which added to its general security. It was at this time that Captain Shaw quitted the spot to return to Watling-street station, and shortly alter Mr. Sweeten left, reporting to his chief u he passed the station that all was safe, though from the extent of the fire still in the ruins the engines would have to work probably the whole night. In less than half an hour afterwards intelligence reached the station that the I and K warehouses were both on fire, and on Captain Shaw reaching the dock with a relay of firemen he found the very floor through which he had passed so many times a few hours previously blazing from end to sad, and the extreme end warehouse also partly in flames. They were more extensive than the other warehouses on that aide of the quay, and contained more valuable property. There were several hundred, casks of tallow, cocoa-nut and palm oil, logwood, flex, jute, and other commodities. It was at once men it would be impossible to oppose the fire spread ing throughout the whole of thou very large warehouses, foe the tallow and oils had already ignited, and the [lamas were rolling forth into the upper floors with tremendous effect. The fire raged the whole night and yesterday morn- lag, the eagimessever ceasing. even up to 9 o'clock last night, when there was still a large mass of fire in the ruins of the gutted warehouses. Besides the steam floating engine of the brigade, which was hauled up alongside of the quay, there were eight brigade steam engines, four new steamers (built for Amsterdam and Bermuda, and bent over to the fire by the manufacturers, Meagre. Shand and Mason), and two others belonging to volunteers, halides a host of manual engines and the hydraulic power of the dock company's hydrants. A more powerful farce of steam en gines and water power was never brought to bear upon any London fire, yet it appeared per fectly inadequate to contend against the immense area of flames within the walla of the warehouses. Up to a very late hour last night every exertion was being made to prevent the fire in the warehouses extending, while the dock company adopted watch patrols throughout the whole of the warehouses in the dock to guard against outbreaks elsewhere. The greatest destruction of property was in the two warehouses I and K, double that which occurred in the warehouses F and fl. Various speculations are afloat as to the probable amount, avenging from 150,0301. to 200,0001. ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF LONLON.—The annual meeting of the members of this society was held yesterday afternoon, at the offices, 4, St. Mann's-place ; Dr. James Hunt, F.S.A. (President), in the chair. The auditor's report showed that the receipts of the year had amounted to upwards of 1,7001., while the expenditure bed been 1,6001. The secretary read the report of the cowbell, which stated that the society had increased in success, The council bad elected 210 members within the past year. Liberal donations towards the support of the society bad been reoeived, and the foundation of a useful library and museum had been completed. A motion in favour of the adoption of the report having been put and carried unani mously, a vote of thanks was passed to the president and officers of the society for their services. The president, on delivering his address, paid a tribute to deceased members, includieg the late John Carel], alluding to whom he remarked that his oounexion with the society was good proof of its use fulness. The opposition offered to the efforts of antbropm logista showed that crude botions existed with regard to the science of man ; and it was to be regretted that the claims of the society had not been understood even by the mem bers of the British Association for the Promotion of Science. ROYAL HORTILULTURAL SOCIETY. —The Japanese Commissioner, with his attendants, visited the gardens at Sonth Kensington dories yesterday afternoon. He was conducted over the gardens by Coloriel Scott, one of the council, and Captain Cockerel', the meditate secretary. The commisaimier appeared to take a lively interest io what he saw, recognising many of the planta as natives of Japan. The orchid house, however, appeared to give him the greatest satisfaction.

Bates Moreton, :30, Vicar-lane, Leeds, appeared before the bench in answer to an information laid by the Excise, chargiog them with having, on the &dot August, not being rectifiers or distillers, or other persons authorised or licensed to mix or make methylated spirit, sold to John Haman such spirit contrary to the statute.

Harkness, analy tical chemist, of Somerset-house laboratory, produced a bottle of "wiskee," bought at the defendants shop, which he had Analysed, and found to contain 67 per cent. of methylated spirit, the remainder of the iegredi. eta being sugar d water. Similar evideoce was also given ' with regard an to the connate of the bottle labelled " Indian Breads')." " The meowed wiskee " label appeared to have been used also as a hand-bill ; for in the latter the " wiskee " was said to be " tood for coughs, colds, asthma, kc. ; whereas when pasted ou the bottle the words settles forth its medicinal properties were cut en end the two piecesjoined closely together, so that the purchaser should not be led to tbiak he was " taking physic." Mr. Fens, io defence, called a witness awned Flinders, who had compounded the mixture; he said it was made of three ingredients (spirits of nitre, caloric ether, he,), sad as far as he knew did not contain the forbidden spirit. These ingredients were purchased, he said, from Dunn, Hestkfield, sod Co., London, sad other eminent houses, a guarantee of their purity. Mr. Ferns also said far an adjournment for a fortnight, in order to refer the question of analysis to as isdepsadeot chemist, along . with Mr. Harkness.

THE GALES. --4.-- Yesterday intelligence was received in Liverpool of the total loss of the American ship Meridian, bound from New York to Liverpool with • large and valuable cargo. The news of the disaster so far received is very brief. It appears, however, that the City of Boston illomen and Co.'s steamer), bound from New Yerk to Liverpool, succeeded after much delay and danger I. resening the crew of the Meridian 60 miles S.S. W of Cape Clear. The ship Roger A. Heim bound from Mobile to Liverpool with • cargo of cot ton, was totally wrecked during the gales on the Sant a spot near the entrance to the Mobile harbour. The Edward Graham, from Bombay to Liverpool, arrived in the Mersey yesterday in a disabled condition, having lost her fore and top wizen topgallant masts and nearly all her sails, besides being severely strained. The Amore* I which sailed for Calcutta on the 23rd ult., win towed book ' into the Mersey yeeterday,also disabled, having encountered the full severity of the gales which swept the Channel. The Cirosesian, from Liverpool to Rio Janeiro, was also towed beet yesterday, with agile split and other damage. A large number of other ships have put into various Channel ports, and the weather is still boisterous and wt. I settled. The weather in the Irish Channel has been more tem. Festoons during the lut week than has been known foe many years. A telegram from Cape Clear, received pester day, announces that • large ship, fully rigged, was seen to founder off that point on Monday morning. Yesterday I afternoon the drum was hoisted an Liverpool se the pre monitor of another gale. Since Friday last a terrific gale hes blown with more or lees severity from the south-west of Folkestone, moderat. Mg during the day, and amain on with greater force at night. The passenger and cargo traffic between Folkestone and Boologise hes been greatly interrupted. On Monday night the gale was at its highest between 7 and S o'clock ; the tidal boat from Boulogne was doe at Folkes too* at 4 o'clock, and arrived in time, but owing to the gale sod heavy see mooing, the passengers could not land at the pier. The boat was the Lord Warden, and Captain Paul, in endeavouring to mme alongside, ran the but against the pier, breaking off the bowsprit and the figure head but without doing any further damage to the vessel ; finding it impossible to land the passengers, the engiose were reversed, and Captain Paul ran the Lord Warden to Dover, where they west ashore in safety. PLYMOUTH. TUESDAY EVINING. - • • - • • It has been blowing strong for several days. A heavy gale commenced this morning from the south.weet, and veered with increased force to the southward. The storm signal, a come reversed, his been up all day. The frigate Galatea, lying just inside the breakwater, with top. gallaat.mut struck, parted a chain, but wes soon brought np again. All the merchant ships in the Bound have two anchors down. The ship Zimi, which left Liverpool& mouth since for B rr.bay, put back here this afternon leaky, with loss of boats, bulwarks, and one man drowned. The screw steamer London, from London to Melbourne, due bare to. day, has not arrived. The Duke of Cornwell, ready to start at 4 this afternoon for Doblio, is detained. ALLEGED WIPE KILLING IN MANCHRSTER.OhiI Russell, a shoemaker, about 40 years of age, Beim ut Orovwstreet, Outside-street, was charged at the Macau ter City Police-court, on Monday, with causing severe per. soul injury to a man sawed John Berwick, and also with the wilful murder of his wife, Amelia ft osselL The pri soner was taken into custody only shout two bears pie. viously. The evidence of ]lacy Morris, a woman living is Water-street, showed that on Sunday aftersoon the RuseUs and several others took tea with Beswick and his wife, who lodged in witowin's house. During the evening the party had some drink and became merry. but about midnight • quarrel arose. About this time Remick went out, as be said, to "let in" the New Year, and during his absence the prisoner and his wife resumed the quarrel. They also sub sequeotly left, and in • while the deceased woman came hack, sod, after stating that she had put her husband to bed, began to quarrel with Remick, who had returned home. She threw herself upon him, and at the same instant her husband arrived. Seeing the position in which the two stood he gave his wife a push, and she and Renwick I fell forward sad rolled down • flight of cellar steps out of the street. Both were very much hurt, and were cat tied iato Morris's house, the prisoner rendering all the assistance he could. Mrs. Russ.ll became insensible, sank rapidly, and at 6 o'clock, about two hours after the occurr epee, shedied. Bar wick lies in • very precarious condition. All the parties were in drink at the time. After bearing this evideuce Mr. Fowler said he thought be was justi6ed in telling the prisoner that the fearful charge on which he stood is the dock was not sustained. He thought it was only right that the prisoner should be relieved in Lis mind to that extant ; it was no part of • magistrate's duty to make observations to a prisoner brought before him on • criminal charge, but he thought it was only right to tell him that. The charge which he would have toanswer would be one of manslaughter, a crime which, more than any other, differed in its degrees, and in the penalties with which it was visited, the punishment varying from transportation for life to the nominal punishment of • day's imprisonment.—H• was remanded till Thursday. A WIFE SHOT BY HER HUSBAND.—At a small vil lage-called Cwineyfwcb, near Blackwood, Monmouthshire, • shocking occurrence took place on New Year's eight by a collier named Edmund Morgati, who killed his wife, Elizabeth Morgan, by shooting her in the groin. The act has caused the greatest excitement in the neighbourhood, where the woman was much respected for her indueti ions and cleanly habits. The parties were each about 25 years of age, and they had one child. In consequence of the husband's disei patios the deceased led an unhappy life, sad on Lis return home about 10 o'clock on Monday night she told him that if he did not mend his ways she should leave him and take the child with her. Some words ensued, and she left the house, but almost immediately returned, and went up stain. Her husband took up • double-barrelled gun loaded with duck shot, sod followed her ; and acarcely a minute had elapsed before a report of a gun was heard. A neighbour, Mrs. George, ran up stairs, and found the deceased lying on the floor, and the husband (who is in custody) standing by with the gun in his hand, which she took from him and conveyed to her own house. During her &bunco the prisoner visited his wife, placed her on the bed mid laid down by her side. Dr. Henderson attended the poor woman, who lingered till a quarter pest three o'clock on Tuesday morning, when she died io the greatest sg' ny. During a few unimetts of con valescepee she said her husband shot her as she was sitting on the side of the bed, but she could not say bow he did it. When taken into custody the prisoner said the gun was not loaded, as be drew tbe charge in the mot-sing. On ieg the gun the police found the second barrel loaded with duck shot. Pvtic IN ABTLET'S TwEstr.E.—Twat night, daring the exhibition of the pantomime and during the charges in the transformation same, a panic was caused in the house by • ery of " Fire" being rased, and it Wog fated that a small portion of the grand scene bad taken fire from the gas lights. This of course created great excitement, and men, worms, ssd children began to nub out of the thea tre, when Mr. E. T. Smith came to the front of the stage, and begged the audience to resume their seats. as no danger wee to be apprebeeded, and not half.a.crown's worth of damage was doss. The audience then returned and resumed their seats for the remainder of the performance. Fortunately no ossawse injured, and the entertainments were carried oat to the tad. ! 1 1 1 1 , MIIDIE'S SELECT LIBRARY.
