Quatrefages thinks that the whites preceded every where the negroes, who descend from them. The principal argument which he invokes in favour of that opinion is the following. An travellers who have lived in countries where only the negro race dwelt have remarked that sometimes children were born of paler colour, less distant from the white typo. This, says M. Quatrefages, is to be explained by the influence of white ancestors, whose type reappears exceptionally amongst their negro descendants. This re appearance of the ancestral type is what is called atavism ; "ind, as black children are never found amongst the white races, it must be inferredthat, if the negroes descend from the wl“tes, the whites do not descend from the negroms."—Bri:ishiffdica/ Journal. ARRIVALs AT TIIE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENII. —The grand acquisition of the past week has been a great ant eater (Myrrneroptami jubala). There has also been re ceived a coypu (Mgoplamus coypu), an aquatic rodent, something like a gigantic water-rat in appearance, but which is more nearly akin to) the porcupines ; and an other wapiti fawn has made its appearance. A pair of common wood-pigeone has been added to the collection, also a West Indian snake (Trapidonotaa), and a number of JApporampi, commonly known as "sea-horses," which are very interesting objects in one of the aquaria in the fish-house. The great ant-eater is kept in the house oppo site to the kangaroo inclosurea, in the cage in which the three banded armadillo was formerly exhibited, end appro priately next to that containing the sloths (lirad yams). Our readers are well aware that this most remarkable animal is now exhibited for the first time. There was a very fine one some yearn ago, which has been admirably represented by Joseph Wolf in sundry characteristic atti tudes, as may be peen in the neighbouring picture-gallery near the reptile-home ; and during last winter a partici. larly_larFe specimen was o ff ered to the society, but at a Prelnbitsve pries, and it was afterwards taken to Antwerp, when it expired very recently . — Lead and Water.

THE INVASION OF THE PAPAL STATES. ROME, Ocr. 10, EVENING. Tranquillity continues to prevail in this capital. Despatches received to-day state that the insur gents near the Tuscan frontier and in the province of the Sabina are considerably increased in num bers, and are moving forward. All the Pontifical troops available have been despatched against them. Severe fighting is expected. FLORENCE, Ocr. IL According to advicea from the frontier, the various insurgent bands in the Papal States are being reinforced and organised, while for the moment avoiding all engagements. Confirmation has been received of the statement that the Ponti fical troops are moving in force in the direction of Orte, to prevent the junction of the bands with the insurgents commanded by blenotti Garibaldi. The Opinions publishes a proclamation of Aarbi, dated the 9th inst., from Torre Alfina, near Acquapendente. Some small places have been successively occu pied and abandoned by the insurgents and the Pontifical troops. PARIS, Ocr. 11, Enonsa. The Patric of this evening denies that Prince Napoleon has addressed a letter to the Emperor. The same journal publishes an article in which it says :—" The state of affairs, both in Rome and the Italian kingdom, acquires every day a more serious character. The tame and indifferent atti tude of the Roman population, who allow things to take their course, diminishes the power of resis tance of the Pope's regular troops. On the other hand, the agitation in Italy enables the Garibal dian agents to reinforce the bands which had first taken the field, without the government in Florence being able to stop this incessant invasion. The cabinet of Signor Rattazzi sees itself threat ened with isolation, in case things continue in their present state for any length of time, the mistaken national sentiment of the Italians throwing itself entirely on the side of the Garibaldians." The Patric also announces that Riociotti Gari baldi has arrived in Florence. The same paper denies that a numerous band of insurgents had appeared in the vicinity of Orvieta. The Italian troops, it says, stopped, on the 10th inst., nume rous individuals attempting to enter singly the Roman States. There are only two collections of Garibaldians—une near Orbitello, and the other near Frosinone. BAVARIA. MUNICH, Ger. 11. The matrimonial engagement between the King of Bavaria and the Duchess Sophia is semi-officially said to have been broken off by mu tual consent. The King entertained a decided disinclination to the match, and the Duchess Sophia formally released his Majesty from the engagement. The Ultramontane party represent tho occur rence as a secession from Austria. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12. 1867. HUNGARY. PESTS, Ocr. 11. It is stated that the Council of Ministers have resolved to lay before the Diet a bill declaring the exercise of political rights to be entirely indepen dent of religious opinions, and abrogating all laws passed in opposition to this principle. This bill is to come into force throughout Hungary from the day of its promulgation. AUSTRIA AND THE CONCORDAT. VIENNA, Om 11, EVENING. In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the Reicharath, Herr Mulfeld brought forward a motion for the abrogation of the Concordat. Herr Muhlfeld said that at first he was not in favour of the course proposed by the house to put aside the Concordat by a special law, but he contended, in the face of the bishop's address, it would be cowardice not to strike direct at the existence of the Concordat. The orator proved that the Concordat was not a state treaty, but a law of the land, which could be altered by legislative means. He then closely criticised the bishop's address, the contents of which he said consisted on the one hand of insults and calumny, and on the other of flattery and hypocrisy, inasmuch as it asserted that it took no rights away from the crown. Herr Muhlfeld added that religion required no treaties, and that he pitied the catholic church if it could only exist through a concordat." The motion was referred by a majority of the house to the committee on religious questions.

THE MACKAY Gric EXPERIMENTS. —After the despatch of our parcel on Thursday the experiments were continued. The fifth was a spherical steel shot, fired from the 8-inch gun, with 20 lbs. of powder at the 5-inch plate. The plate was completely penetrated, and a large amount of metal carried away. The 6th was a the same character, with 16 lbs. of powder. It struck a perfectly firm part of the same target, thtongh which it passed with equal gno mes. The 7th was a7O lbs. cast-iron shot (spherical) fired at the 5-inch plate from the 8-inch gun, with only 14 lbs. of powde. It struck the target to the right hand, close to the edge, and carried away bodily a mass of metal weighing at least 2 cwt. The 3-inch gun was then fired with the steel elongated shot, and with a charge of 3 lba. of powder, the target being the 24-inch plate. The penetration was com plete, and the shot was picked up at some distance from the target. The same gun was then tested at high eleva tions for range, and several projectiles were sent onerrands from 6,000 to 7,000 yards. During the afternoon one of the powerful gene on the ground was sold to a foreign government. Admiral Farragut, in a letter to Mr. Mackay, has expressed his regret at not being able to attend the experiments. Yesterday a successful trial was made of the 6-inch gun against the 8-inch plate, with an 82lb. steel shot, and with a 25 lb. charge.

THE INSURRECTION IN THE PAPAL STATES. (vaou ova own; coi FLORENCE, Ocr. 8. A notable change has lately been taking place in public opinion throughout Italy. It has been gradually forming from a variety of circumstances connected with the arrest of Garibaldi. The rea sonable and reasoning public and the press in vain approved of the measure which, by placing the hero of Caprera in temporary confinement, seem ingly cut off the right hand of the movement which was leading the Italian populations to Rome. In spite of the expediency of that measure, and the approbation which the liberal journals of Europe accorded to it, as a guarantee which Italy was giv ing to France and to the world in general of her determination to abide by the Convention, still, as Garibaldi said in his letter (written on the railroad during his first hours of captivity), the movement which sends the Italians forward " must advance in spite of the imprisonment of fifty Garibaldis." The event has literally proved the truth of his itemark. The change which has been creeping over public opinion from the time when those words were uttered to the present moment is now of the most marked cha racter. All have come to the conclusion that now or never is the time to push on to Rome. Mode rates and ultra-liberals sound the same note ; all the provinces of Italy vote for Rome as their capital. Whatever may be the reasons in each case, or the causes of the change, one fact is notable—the change has really occurred, and there is now a uniformity of opinion such as is rarely exhibited except on momentous occasions, when it seldom has failed to foreshadow important coming events. Another symptom of change notable at present is the general feeling of security against the interference of France. The Italians feel that they have a right, as a constituted nation, to settle their own affairs. All they require is to be left alone. The Tuscan Consorteria (forming the fragment of a party whose opi nions relative to the retention of Florence as the capital of Italy are well known) alone remain on their old ground. All the others consider the na tional honour will be compromised unless matters proceed to a crisis. All feel that the crisis is impending, that it is inevitable. There is anxiety and excitement everywhere, but unanimous faith is felt in the favourable turn which future events are to take. Now, having given an impartial repre sentation of the state of public opinion in Italy, what, it will be asked, are the data on which the change is founded t What are the facts which seem to give promise of the future events antici pated with such eager desire ? The great, the only reality is the general stir and ferment of the public mind, the universal belief and determination to have done with suspense, and the open publication of proclamations such as have yesterday appeared in the Diritto, and to-day in the Nazione, in which Italian deputies, friends of the government and of Giribaldi, men who endeavourd a few weeks since to dissuade him from his march on Rome, now put themselves forward in public as an organized committee of action to assist the revolu tionary bands. Here is an address to the Italians, which is published in the Diritto and Nazione : Oar brethren are giving their blood in the sacred name of Italy and of Rome. That blood imposes on Italians certain duties strong beyond all discussion. As inter preters of the national conscience, and seconding the invitation made to us by General Garibaldi, the under signed announce themselves to be constituted as a central committee of assistance. Viva l'ltalia. Viva Roma. The names affixed to this proclamation are those of the well-known Pallavicino, F. Crispi, B. Cairoli (the only remaining member of an entire family which has perished for the Italian cause), L. La Porta, A. Oliva, F. de Boni, and L. Miceli. This document, taken together with the facts already mentioned, is an important sign of the times. Moreover, a rumour is in circulation, based on a report in the New Free Press of Vienna, an nouncing an understanding between the emperor Napoleon and the King of Italy concerning the pre sent settlement of the Roman question. The Vienna journal says that Italy is to occupy all the Papal territory excepting Rome itself, which is to be respected during the entire lifetime of the pre sent Pope. This rumour would have been scoffed at as ridiculous a few weeks since. At present (although of course but few have positive faith in it) it scarcely occasions surprise, so changed is the current of events. Regarding the events them selves, i.e., the movement of the free bands on the papal territory, there is still much uncertainty. Report gives the names of Menotti Garibaldi, Cuochi, Balomone, and Nicotera as leaders of the bands. The defeat of the Pontifical Zouaves, in a rencontre with the Italian patriots, seems positive. The Papal troops were commanded by Colonel Charrette, and General Truppi was present during the engagement. The Italian journals unanimously note that the latter is the same who was known to say, in years gone by, that the Romans must be treated with the " whip."

The electric fluid entered by the small aperture for the door bell, ran along the wire, and so mode its way to the kitchen. There the lightning seems to have met another current, which had come down the chimney, and which forced out a heavy kitchen grate, driving it into the middle of the floor. In the drawing-room—to which the current is supposed to have passed by the bell wire—n fine chamber organ was completely wrecked, and the whole furniture, wall decorations, and ornaments, and the window's, were rendered quite useless. Six windows in all were completely blown out of the building. The Great Lincolnshire Ploughing Match for Spalding and Deeping-fen mane off yesterday.

ADDITIONAL.] THE FENIAN OUTRAGE AT MANCHESTER. The lecturer, 31‘Auliffe, was brought before the magistrates at anchester yesterday, having been re manded from time to time since the 18th of September. It will be remembered that on the 18th, after the remand of Kelly and Deasy, but before they were taken to the van, two men attracted the attention of the polies ea evincing active sympathy with the Fenian. One of these men, ll'Auliffe, was seised by a policeman, at whom (ac cording to the policeman's statement) he aimed a blow with a dagger. It was supposed after the attar* on the van that he wsuLi be proved to be connected with the plot which ended in the rescue. The police, however, have failed to get any evidence as to the plot except what re ferred to its execution, and no complicity of the prisoner with it has been shown. Yesterday the only additional evidence given was that the prisoner was seen in company with the woman who brought Kelly's dinner on that day before the rescue, and who afterwards shook hands with Kelly on the way to Albert-street station. Mr. Fowler said under the circumstances he sliould be obliged to dia- obarge the prisoner, sad he was socordinglyillowed to leave the court. LORD MATO'S TELEGRAM TO TIM MANCHESTER POLICE. Yesterday Captain Palin, the chief constable of Man chester, presented the following report to the mayor in re lation to the telegram from Lord Mayo on the 18th ult., the day of the Fenian rescue of primmer', which has so often been referred to as giving the authorities warning of the intended outrage. The report was laid before the watch committee, and after a lengthy discussion a special sub-oommittee was appointed to further consider the matter, and prepare a report on the whole question for pneesteilem to the sex* meetas ei the city council : " Town-ball, Manchester, Oct. 10,1867. " The thief constable submits, for the information of his Worship the Mayor, the following statement relative to the receipt at this office of • telegram from Dublin, to Septrintendent Maybury, on the 18th September, con cerning the safe custody of the two Fenian Ed monds, Colonel Kelly and Captain Deasy. It ap pears that the telegram was received at five minutes past 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the 18th, by William Mellor, • junior clerk in she detective office who, as Mr. Ma bury was not in the Town-hall at the Arne, opened and read the message, which was handed to Inspector Garner, who came to the office about 2.15 p.m. Inspector Garner had come to report to Mr. Maybury that be bad observed some suspicious-looking peeww loitering about the court, and, not finding Mr. Maybury, he went in search of Superintendent Gee, whom he met in Gartdde-etr•et, near the City Court-house. He then informed Mr. Gee for what purpose he had been to the Town-hall, and also that he had seen a telegram warning the gaol authorities to keep a good guard over the Fenian prisoners. Mr. Gee states ' that when Inspector Garner met him in Gart side-street he reported that two men and • woman who had brought food to the court for Kelly and Deasy had been loitering about the court ever since. He sweated they were Fonians, and thought they were watching for an opportunity to rescue the prisoners. He had been up to the Town-hall to tell Mr. Maybury, but he was not there, but said there was • message there from him (as I under stood) that extra precaution should be taken for the safe custody of the prisoners. In consequence of the informa tion thus received I inquired from Inspector Garner what officers be had to spare that he could send with the van he said, seven or eight. I told him to send them, and that I would send four others in • cab to follow the van close behind, and in this manner the prison van was sent away. But before this took place, one of the two men described by Garner and another man was, by my orders, apprehended and sent over to the police station.' The chief constable finds from inquiry that Mr. May bury left the office at • quarter before two, and did not return until after the van had been attacked and the prisoners rescued. Immediately on his arrival at the Town ball, about 4.25, be was informed of the attack, and went at once to the gaol, the Fairfieldotntet police station, and then to the Infirmary, and it was only on his return to the detective office, between six and seven o'clock, that the telegram was put into his hands. Since the unfortunate event happened the conduct of the police has been severely animadverted upon, and many reports have been current and circulated in the newspapers to the effect that the police knew on the night of the 17th that there would be an organized attack upon the van. In the Morning Post it was stated 'that intelligence of the intended attack on the van was forwarded from Liverpool, and similar information was sent from Scotland-yard before midnight of the 17th inst. The Irish officers on duty in Manchester also cautioned the police early on the next day.' The chief constable, as is well known was absent on leave, but he has felt it his duty to inquire from his officers, and he is in • position to deny that any officer be- longing to the Manchester police received any information whatever of the intended attack either from Scotland yard, Liverpool, or the Irish officers on duty in Man chester. It as quite true that there were rumours to that effect. Some of the officers about the court were told on Monday that an attempt was to bo made to rescue the two men Kelly and Deasy, and Mr. Maybury was informed of it by Inspector Garner, who was one of the officers to whom the statement was made. It was ih consequence of the warning received, and of these rumours, that such steps as were deemed to to sufficient for the security of the prisoners were taken. The prisoners were, contrary to the usual practice, handcuffed, and the extra number of officers before stated were sent to escort the van to the gaol. It may be well understood that the probability of an armed attempt to rescue did not pre- sent itself to the minds of the superinteudenta. The chief constable emitting to express Lis belief that there are few persons who, upon such information as the police were in posaession of, would not consider that the precautionary stele taken were quite sufficient to meet any emergency which might be reasonably anticipated. " W. HENRY PALIN, Chief Constable. "The Worshipful the Mayor of Manchester." FENIAN ALARMS IN THE PEOVINCEIL —OH Wed nesday night double sentries were placed in the garrison at Tynemouth Castle, an armed picket was held in readiness, and the men of the detachment of the 32nd Regiment, with the artillerymen, were kept in barracks. Arrangements have been made also to swear in a large number of special constables at North Shields. The watch committee at Warrington having considered it necessary to apply to the Secretary of State fur a supply of revolvers for the police force, a case, containing revolvers, ammunition, &c., was received in the early part of the week. There are exten sive military stores in Warrington, and the storehouse be longing to the local volunteer corps contains 400 stand of cities. Strong guards are on duty at the volunteer armoury and at the militia barracks night and day. The question having been raised as to the necessity of the presence of a magistrate at the county gaol in Salford in the event of any attempted attack or intrusion over the prison walls, or in other illegal manner, the point was submitted by the vesting justices to the Home Secretary. A reply has been received that the presence of a magistrate is not necessary, and that the civil or military force in the prison has full power to repel any such attack in the moat effectual way they can. IPSWICH CLERICAL AND LAY CONFERENCE.—The conference was resumed on Thursday morning, the Rev. E. Hollond again presiding. The first subject was " The right use of the law." The subject was introduced by the Rev. J. Richardson, incumbent of St. Mary's, Bury St. Edmund's. The Rev. Joseph Berdsley, lecturer at St. Marylebone, then delivered an address on " Ritualism ; ite origin, tendency, and antecedents." A paper was then read by the Rev. S. Garrett, incumbent of St. Mar garet's, Ipswich, on "Christian unity and its counter:elle." In the course of his address he recommended union with the established church of Scotland, whose principles were evengelical, and who differed only from the church of England in the minor point of the form of church gov( ce ment. The rev. gentleman did not appear to regard episco pacy as of paramount importance, averring that he should. prefer an established presbyterian church to a non established episcopal church. The last subject was "Evangelical rel4ion ; what it is, and what it is not," which was treated by Mr. Ryle. After a short discussion the conference ended. THE Disreass IN CORNWALL. —The distress in Cornwall is @till of a very serious character, if we may judge from the reports presented at a meeting of the County Distress Fund Committee, held at Truro, on Monday last. Perhaps the moat convincing statistics are supplied by Sergeant Sambells, stationed at St. Just, who gives *list of 46 families, including 347 souls, whose deep distress, in that one parish alone, has come under his personal knowledge. He say. they are almost without bedding and underclothing. The average earnings of these 347 souls, received at the last pay day, amounted to only :".s. 3d. per head for the ;month. or about 2d. a day including all the family. One family of seven received the incredibly small sum of sixpence for their month's support A woman and six children figure for 12a., laing less than three farthings per day for each person's support. Another family of seven got Vs. 3d. during the month ; another of seven got 190. Gd., and the instances are very many in which nu more than a penny apiece per day has been received to find house rent, An, clothing, and dour, and in which animal food must be entirely beyond reach. Sergeant Setubal, says:— " Many mothers of the abovenamed families are obliged on Saturday nights to put their children to bed for the purpose of washing their clothing, so as to be able to put it on clean on Sunday mornings. as they are unable to provide more than one suit of clothing for each child, and that is very poor in many eases. By far the highest receipts of any family in the list above quoted are those of a widow and three chLdren, who got about fivepence a day each." A large number of reports of a similar character was presented to the meeting.— Western Doily Prat. MAKTER. OF THE HORSE'S-OFFICE, OCT.

A public meeting was bald at Leeds on Wednes day, with the object of taking steps to form an Industrial Co-operative Boot and Shoe Manufacturing SocieLtz eland of a 'baited number et paagaleaves holding of the value of U. each. - There wee • easy aaasaii. ance, and • great deal of interest was taken in the pro ceedings, the object being one which has created consider able attention of late amongst the working bcotmakers of the town. Mr. Robert tidy was in the chair, and after an opening speech, in which be spoke of the benefit' of the co-operative system, and referred to it as a remedy against trade disputes, an explanatory report wee read, which stated that eighteen workmen had already identi fied themselves with the scheme, and that the movement bad arisen out of a feeling of dissatisfaction with their condition as operatives, their prospects as to the future, and with the present relations between capital and labour. Mr. John Holmes argued at some length that if wealth with its advantages rose more rapidly than pope lation those advantages should be shared pro rata with the ' parties concerned. He would ask Alderman Tathara to consider the po nt—to consider how population and wealth had increased,and the rate at which the division of wealth had been made between capital and labour. Taking broad numbers, during the sixty years which elapsed between 1 1801 and 1881 population had inineased at the rate of 100 per cent., and taking the income-tax returns—and he thought they would find no better index wealth had increased at the rate of 500 per sent., or 400 per cent. in excess of population. How had this excess been divided ! In the year 1861 he found that the pee -1 cencage which had gone to labour had not reached more than 25 per cent. —but putting the amount at 60 per cent., as much as 165 per cent. had gone to capital. He stated that the average life of a working man was twenty-two years, while among the wealthier classes the average rate reached forty-four years ; and sub mitted that with the unequal distribution of capital to which he referred the lives of the ppoooorexrr classes were being shortened as the lives of the wealthierclauee were being lengthened. He therefore camruended the object which the meeting had in view—cooperation—fairly and ear nestly conducted, being, in his opinion, the meet likely means under present circumstances for working men to adopt who wished to better their condition in society, and were anxious for a more equitable distribution of I wealth. Mr. Councillor Gaunt gave some hints as to how 1 a co-operative society should be conducted—advising thaughtfulnese, care, the exercise of business tact, eco nomy in labour, with every desire to do the work which bad to be performed thoroughly and satisfactorily ; and was followed by Mr. Alderman Carter, who generally ad vocated the principle of cooperation. Regarding the I price of labour, he said that if the question was left I entirely to supply and demand, and if no higher principle than buying in the cheapest and selling in the 1 dearest market entered into the contract between the master and his men, the question would just be one rook ing itself into getting as much from the men, and giving them as little in return as possible. It was correct that wherever capital was on the one side and labour on the other in antagonism supply and demand would regulate wages ; but where the capitalists and labourers were one in working together there would be no antagonism, and workmen would get the advantage of everything, He knew one firm in Leeds who put 40,000/. a year put of clear profit, or 8001. a week. Would it be unreasonable to ask that that firm should have 1001. a week for themselves and that the 7001. should be divided amongst the men It had been said they had to deal with things as they wen; but they were trying to alter things, thinking as they now stood that they were scarcely right. In the first place, they hardly thought the laws of the country were right which allowed one man to ride 100 miles in straight line over his own land. What was government for if it did not look after the interests of the people! Good government was that kind of government which gave the largest amount of happiness to the largest num ber. What property was held sixty years ago in England by :100,000 freebold , ne was held now by 30,000. The little men had had to give way to big ones, and the land of the country was passing into the hands of a few men. What they wanted to begin with was that there should be such arrangements with reference to the law of primoge niture and entail, and to the sale and transfer of land, that a man could just as as easily buy his WV. worth of land as his 501. worth of hoots and shoes. If the difficulty were thus taken at the beginning, men would not have to argue for a long time that the state of things which exist made supply and demand to rule the price of labour. The speaker afterwards dwelt on the advantages that were likely to be derived from the working of the society whose claims he had been asked to support. At the close of the meeting a good number of those present came forward, and put down their names on the list of shareholder.. It was intimated that the tailors and the workmen in some other trades were likely to follow the example. THE ART EXHIBITION AT LEEDS.—Promises of contributions to the Executive Committee of the National Exhibition of Works of Art to be held at Leeds in 1668 have been recently received from the Marquis of Lothian. the Marquis of Lanadovrne, the Earl of Clarendon. the Earl of Hardwick°, the Earl of Denbigh, the Earl of Brad ford.

SERIOUS CHARG E.—At the borough police-court, Shrewsbury, yesterday, Mr. Thomas Andrews, chemist and druggist, appeared in answer to a summons charging him with the committal of an aggravated assault upon Martha Jane Cheeeeman. The Iwcoccutrix, a modest-looking girl, 16 years of age, is an apprentice to a milliner, and on Saturday last, being in great pain from the toothache, she went to the defendant's shop and asked for something to relieve it. The defendant prepared and gave her a mixture, and then asked her to walk into the waiting-room, which was partitioned off from the shop. He here gave her some port wine, and while she was drinking it he pulled down the blind, and then placing her on the sofa, commit ted the offence complained of. The prosecutrix said nothing about it till Monday, when she told the servant, who subsequently told her mistress, and on Wednesday the girl was sent over to Oaweetry, to communicate with her mother, who at once came to Shrewsbury and instituted the present proceedings. The defendant totally denied the charge, and called his shop:nap and a boy to move that during the time the prosecutrix was in the sitting. room the blind was up and the door open, and tliat they several times passed in and out, the defendant also being once or twice called into the shop. The magistrates said the case was very clearly proved, and to mark their sense of the gravity of the offence committed they would send the defendant to prison for one month, with bard labour, and without the option of paying a fine. LIGHT BREAD.—A number of Hereford bakers have been fined for selling bread under weight ; some of the loaves were actually eve ounces short. In defence, one of the delinquents protested that it was the fault of the respectable public, who said, " We must not have our food touched or contaminated by the loaf of the poor. We must have it moored, Retched, and scolloped in order to make it different." _ . . . Yesterday the Liverpool coroner held an inquest upon a widow (Mary Daley), who was killed by the car tridge or warping of a title fired at the volunteer review, Liverpool. on Saturday.
