IT is said that the Alexandra has been deli vered up by the Custom-house officers to her owners. This need excite no surprise, for it is clear that the law officers of the Crown had no option in the matter. It is true that the judg ment of the House of Lords turned upon the mere technical point, whether the Barons of the Exchequer had power to make the rule granting an appeal to the Exchequer Chamber and to the House of Lords. But it was decided that the Barons had no such power. The result is that the verdict found by the jury in the Exchequer must stand, and that no ground of forfeiture can be es tablished against the Alexandra in her present condition. Under these circumstances it is dear that the Crown has no right to detain the ship, and the judgment of the House of Lords makes it impossible for the ATTORNEY-GENERAL to take any further steps for that purpose in her present condition. In short, the judgment upon the present information is final. But it must not be supposed that the Alexandra is free from all future proceedings. No doubt, if the vessel were to put to sea at once it would be impossible to stop her. But if anything more is done in the way of equipping or arming her—if new rings are attached, new masts fitted, or new portholes opened—she will again become subject to seizure, and if the case against her be proved, to forfeiture. A mo ment's consideration will establish this proposition. It is possible that the House of Lords, after full discussion on the merits, might have held that the Alexandra in her present condition did not come within the penal provisions of the Foreign Enlist ment Act, and she might have been released. But such a decision would not have relieved her owners from all future responsibility, or operated as an authority to them to equip or arm her with impunity. The practical conclusion is obvious. Whilst Ministers are perfectly justified, nay legally bound to release the Alexandra, they are also bound to keep a strict watch over this vessel, in order to prevent any repetition of the attempts on the part of Messrs. LAIRD to violate the Foreign Enlistment Act. It may, perhaps, be thought that any such proceedings will savour of harshness, and that since the Alexandra has once escaped from the hands of the law officers no further proceedings should be taken against her. But it must be remembered that she has only escaped by the mismanagement of the CHIE.F BARON, aided by the lynx-eyed acuteness of Sir HUGH CAIRNS and Messrs. KAR3LAKE and MEL LISH ; and that generosity is out of place if its effect must be to let loose another Alabama. efit Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, Ana 20.

LATEST INTELLIAINV.: THE CONFERENCE. The appointed meeting of the plenipotentiaries accredited to sit at the conference took place at the official residence of the First Lord of the Treasury yesterday ; but no business could be transacted, in consequence of the absence of the Austrian and Prussian ambassadors. They abstain from attend ing, it is understood, because, in their judgment, they could not assist at the board until the arrival of Mr. Beust, the representative of the German Federation. That gentleman, however, was ex pected to arrive within a day or two, and the next meeting of the conference was fixed for Mcnday, the 25th instant. THE POPE. The Paris Temps says that General Menabrea, the Italian Minister of Public Works, who has been in Paris for some days, comes here to sound the intentions of the French government in case of the Pope's death—an eventuality which, con sidering the age and failing health of the sovereign pontiff, must be looked in the face. In the opinion of the Temps General Menabrea was na turally designated for this delicate mission, not only on account of his personal merits, but be cause his political antecedents connect him as closely with the friends of the Pope ae with those of Italian unity. COLLISION BETWEEN TWO STEAMERS. (ay ELECTRIC ruzumara.) (►aom oua owl coaaaaromoura) )N, THURSDAY. The statement that the Hamburg and American steamer Bavaria was captured by a Danish man-of war was inaccurate. The Bavaria arrived last night from Hamburg. When she was off Hythe, in Southampton, she ran into the Channel Islands mail packet Normandy, and so seriously damaged her that she was unable to proceed. The Normandy had just left Southampton pier with upwards of 500 passengers, a large cargo, and the Channel Island mails. It was* beautiful night. It was a near chance that the Normandy was not cut down to the water's edge, and that a great sacrifice of life did not take place. Only two lady passengers were injured—one a Mrs. Hennikey, who has her shoulder dislocated, was removed to the Dolphin Hotel ; the other has a son tlyine in one of the Channel Islands, and she proceeded on this morning. The steamer Despatch took on the Normandy passengers and mails at five o'clock this morning. The crash of the collision was heard at the railway station, a distance of three miles. The Bavaria proceeds to sea this evening. (REUTZIed TILIORAMS.) SOU lILLSIPTON, Aran. 21. The South Western Company's steamer Nor manby, which sailed hence during the night with the mails and passengers for the Channel islands, came into oollision with the steamer Bavaria bound for this port. The accident occurred about two miles down the river. The Bavaria sustained no damage beyond a slight puncture of one of her plates. The Nortnanby sustained considerable damage, the Bavaria's starboard bow having struck her port quarter, carrying away that portion of the ship. A part of the deck was torn up, and the davits and part of the saloon carried away. Slight injuries were received by some of the Nor manby's passengers. The mails and passengers have been sent on by the company's steamer Dispatch. THE FALL OF DUFFEL. COPENHAGEN, Aran 19, 10.30 A.m. After a violent bombardment during the night of the 17th instant, which was renewed with still greater violence at daybreak, our redoubts were almost entirely demolished. Redoubts Nos. 4,5, 6 having been taken, a retreat commenced ; but the attack was then so fierc2 that the reserve could not bold its grotto.), and retreated with great loss. General Ddplat was severely wounded and taken prisoner. The general second in command was also taken prisoner. The greater portion of the Ist brigade is missing, and scarcely one-half of the Bth fell back in safety. The retreat of the right wing was, in comparison, effected more favourably, but also with great loss. The force occupying the fat-de-punt held it, even after our batteries had been dismantled, until the army had reached the island of Alsen. 100 dead and 800 wounded were conveyed to the island of Alsen. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 19, 6.25 P.X. The Danish army is on the island of Alien. The bridges are destroyed. A severe artillery engage ment continues. The Danish loss is great, especially in officers. RUSSIA AND THE PRINCIPALITIES. VIENNA, Arun. 20.

THE STEAMER TAGUS. SOUTHAMPTON, Aram 21. . . . The steamer Tagus, lately belonging to the Pe ninsular and Oriental Company, which sailed hence yesterday for Glasgow, has returned, having broken down. THE PERSIAN GULF TELEGRAPH.—Adrioes have been received from Sir Charles Bright announcing the entire completion of the Penile Gulf cable on the 27th of March.

(nod am ow= oomaragnmarr.) PARIS, WIIOIIIBDAT EVIMIUM. The tuutomuntable prohibition of a Shakesperian performance at the Porte St. Martin is thus com mented upon by the Sieele : If Ames. to Denmark were feared Hendee might bare bees replaced ►y Othello, although, indeed, that play ime- Mine allusions to Venice. But what can possibly be said against Falstaff and the Midsummer Night's Dream , la Falstaff a demagogue, and hes swirly saytbiag to fear from the subversive priseiples at the Wry Thuds ? How es te:eked the English will be when they reed the Paris news is their jamas, and Sad that the authorities have inter dicted a represeohitioe in honour of Shakespeare, judgieg it incompatible with the maintenance of public tranquillity ! Since the Slide wrote the above, the announce ment has been made that the French Shakespeare banquet has also been prohibited. I don't like under present circumstances to trust myself to speak of these things, and therefore again prefer quoting a French journal. The Temps says : The reams for them messums are so doubt profaned, for they escape our apprtheasion altogether. We blow, moreover, that the English residents in Paris will be allowed to do without say difficulty what French citizens me prohibited from doing. We are therefore in the face of so act of authority, which like a miracle we are reduced to admire without comprehending. Om Mil*, however, is clear, that in Paris in 1884—Paris, the capital of • people which marshes at the head of civilisation, and under the strongest government is the world, that thing is prohibited which is permissible not only is London and throughout Ragland, but also in all Germany, and more particularly at Vienna, Dresdeo, Berlin, Munich. lituttgard, Carlsruhe. Darmstadt, Cassel, Frankfort, Hano ver, Oembnack, Weimar, Coburg-Gotha, Meininpn, Hild bungshausen. &a. We will my nothing of other countries and other porta of the world. If eiegularity be greatness, we are assuredly at this moment greater than we have ever before bees. While I am writing, an English gentleman calls to tell me that the English Shakespeare banquet has been prohibited also. He says he has been to the Grand Hotel specially to inquire, and is in formed that the banquet will certainly not take place, and that notice to that effect has been sent to the British embassy. I really cannot bring myself to believe this. There must be some mistake. Why, the English banquet was announced in the Monitenr only yesterday, together with the fact that it hat been resolved upon at a meeting at Lord Cowley's. It cannot be that such an affront is to be put upon the English ambassador and a party of English gentlemen, who proposed to dine together on their national poet's birthday, as that of treating them at the last mo ment as a seditious club. What possible harm could there be in such • meeting under the cozy presidency of Lord Gray of Gray 1 It is said, in deed, that the French committee proposed to leave a sort of Bauquo's chair va cant for the spirit of Victor Hugo. The objection to that one can in strictness understand ; although it would have been better to have sent a comely snotichard to fill the chair than to have stopped the dinner. But Lord Gray of Gray would most assuredly countenance nothing sensational. I have beard of no projected stage effect for his dinner beyond the exhibition of a very beautiful bust of Shakespeare, which Mr. Greenhough, the American sculptor, has been kind enough to lend for the occasion. Surely he will not be required to take it back to hi 4 studio. I shall immediately make precise inquiries, and let you know to-morrow whether the astounding news brought to me is really true. At all events, the French government is entitled to a certain credit for impartiality. Molii,re, as well MR Shakespeare, is under the ban of the police. M. F. Morin, a writer in the Cmt rrier die Dimanche, 'and recently an independent candidate at Lyons, who lately began a series of lectures iu the Rue de la Paix on ..IfolW re philosuphe, has been ordered to discontinue them. The determination of the Corps Legislatif to refer the budgetary modifications suggested in the Emperor's letter to a special committee, and not to the budget committee, is undoubtedly a parlia mentary defeat for the government. The sum to be immediately received from the Mexican govern ment only furnishes about half of the 26.000,000 produced by the "double &tame " which it is pro posed to abolish. The remaining sum it was pro posed to make up by various additional registra tion duties. But the Corps Legislatif objects that the projected tax has all the inconvenience which led to complaints of the double decime, and with this additional disadvantage that whereas the working of the first is known and anticipated that of the latter is unknown and will greatly perplex and disarrange the calculations of notaries and men of business in dealing with property. Moreover, the double dcinie abolished with such a great flourish of trumpets was essentially a temporary war tax, and would have expired of itself on January 1, 1865, whereas the suggested substi tution for a part of it would be a perpetual burthen. The Chamber, therefore, thinks the whole question too serious to be examined !properly at this ad vanced period of the session, and it will, I believe, insist that, after all, only the half of the double dt:cime shall be repealed for the present, the rest of the scheme standing over. There has been a considerable fall at the Bourse to-day. The money article of the Prtsse attributes it to absurd political rumours, which were eagerly swallowed, though resting upon no foundation whatever. One of these rumours was that Russia is about to occupy the Danubian principalities—a thing which she could not do without a flagrant breach of the treaty of Paris. The bears also worked what they call a monetary crisis in London, but it is understood that the bu l lliou in the Bank of France has increased, and that it is not likely to raise its discount. Rents fell 30c. for cash and 20c. for account, closicg at 66fr. 20c. and 67fr. 15c., nearly the lowest prices of the day. Mobilier fell 48fr. 75c. A letter from Alexandria says :—" After the recce, which are to take place here on the god of May, Ismail Pecks will give a grand bell at the Palace of Ranet Tin to the European colony. A very good racecourse is being carefully prepared at his highness's expense, just beyond the railway, near Gabini-gardens, between the sea and Lake Mareotis. It is • circle of one mile, and has been intrusted to the French engineer who is constructing the gas works. Hones are expected from abroad, and the Bedouin Sheikhs are entering their horses fire end six at • time, so the oontest ought to be exciting." O n Tuesday Mr. David Davis, the Jewish high s h er iff of Southampton, after presiding orer a court lest, gave a "onnotiet to about 100 persons, consisting of the ma gistrate., the mayor and corporatioe, and the chief trades. men of the borough.

THE BRITISH ifiISEVH. 114 morning a return wan beamed to parliament of a copy al various missies GI the *West ci the Beitith Amara, on the subject of providing additional secoeuna datisa for the severed collections beleaging to that esta blishment. Amongst the papers given is the following ex tras& from the principal librarian's prick, 13th February, 1864, read at a rowel meeting on the same day : "The attention of the standing committee having been directed to an advertisement boned by the Board of Works inviting architects to send in designs for two enema= to be erected at South Kensington, application wee weds to the Treasury for information oa the subject. From the an swer received it appears that part of the buildings for which designs are required is for the acceramodeties of the nataml history collections of the British Museum, and that the advertisement was inadvertently lamed with. out communication with the trustees. At a special meet ing of the standing committee it was ordered that applica tion be made to the Treasury for further information as to the details furnished to the architects by the dace of works for the designs required- Oopiss of reports from the First Commissioner of Works have been repaired and laid before the committee, and a special sub-committee lam bees ap pointed to consider and report on these communications, and upon any additional information that may be received on the subject. A report which the principal li brarian was directed to prepare, setting forth the vari ous proceedings for some years past on the question of providing additional accommodation for the collections at the British Museum, has been laid before the com mittee, and has beta privately printed by their ceder. The superintendent of the departments of natural history having embed to the committee that he had been in oommuoicatiou with the First Commissioner of Works on the subject of the proposed building et South Kensington for the accommoda tion of the withal history collections, the committee passed a resolution that all communications relating to the goverameat, management, buildings, and collections of the Museum ought to be made, in the first instanor, to the trustees, through the principal librarian. A copy of this resolution has been sent to the superintendent of natural history, sod to the keepers of departments, whose special attention has been recalled to former minutes of the trustees prohibiting such communications without the ex. prom sanction of the trustees. " A. PLIIIZZI, Principal Librariao. " British Museum, March 30, 186 t" VISIT TO THE CEMETERY AT CHMIVICE. DIATEUNT3 AT THE ItEFORAI CLUB. This morning, at seven o'clock, General Gari baldi, aooompanied by Signors Panizzi, SUS, Semenza, Zanzi, Serena, Fivante, and his secretary, Guerzoni, and Dr. Basile, left Mr. Seely's house for Chiswick Cemetery. He entered it with all his followers, and with profound respect approached the tomb of the distinguished Italian writer and patriot, Ugo Fosoolo, which was restored in the year 1861. The scene was very touching, the general having always entertained the great est admiration for the Italian patriot. The tomb was originally erected by Mr. Hudson Gurney. In a few minutes the cemetery was thronged with people of all classes, and the usual ovations were paid to the general. A gentle man connected with the family of Mr. Hudson Gurney, after having spoken to the general, came forward and made an appropriate speech, saying that "the general came to pay a tribute to the tomb of Ugo Foscolo, the great Italian patriot, whose successor and representative was at present General Garibaldi himself." (Great cheers.) The general, with his usual mildness, bowed his thanks, and turning to the tomb with much devotion of spirit, deposited a laurel crown in bronze, bearing the following inscription : . . . . Ai glinercei Giusti di glotis disponsieni c marts. Dom& aggo, 20 Arad), 1064. - _ . dm &Perak CIIIIREPPE GmereAux. After the usual acclamatious, the party returned to Mr. Seely's house. Whatever may have been the sentiments of the " from forty to fifty members" of the Reform Club whose "protest" appeared in the advertising columns of a morning contemporary, such senti ments were conspicuous for their absence at the dejettner to-day at the Reform Club. Entire unani mit7, devoted enthusiasm, an utter abnegation of ordinary club rights, were the distinguishing characteristics of the reception given to the general this morning. The reception committee bad issued a programme prescribing the routine to be observed by members of the club and their guests. Those participating in the banquet were to range themselves in certain fashion, the coine mittee itself was to be stationed at a particular point, the guests were to be provided for, at a specified time—in short all means were adopted to ensure such a complete and satisfactory welcome to the hero of Italy as should Le worthy of the first liberal association of the most liberal city iu the world. The hour named by the reception committee for the members of the club and their friends to assemble was 11 a.m., and soon after that time the entrances—the liall,the staircase, and the gallery—were sufficiently filled. "Silken fetters," of the recognised Gari baldian hue, divided the throng. The committee —conspicuous by a distinguishing rosette—waited to receive the general, whilst the servants of the club affixed mil, white, and green ribbons to the button-holes of such gentlemen as desired to mark their appreciation for, and sympathy with, the Italian cause by an outward and visible sign. Mean while a band, conducted by M. Louis Jullien, played a selection, wherein the Garibaldian Hymn held prominent and frequent place. At half-past 11 a distant roar, which, momentarily increasing in sound and violence until it perceptibly mingled with the roll of carriage wheels, announced that Garibaldi was being greeted by the crowd outside. A slight pause, and the general appeared in the centre of the hall, heartily welcomed not only by Lord Ebury and Mr. Gore Langton, M.P., but by the " Vitas" and " hip hips " of the well-dressed crowd, the shouts of welcome being, if not led, at least materially aided by "Garibaldi's Englishman" Colonel Peard. Another pause, during which Garibaldi is ushered to a raised dais in the centre of the hall, and renews conversationally the greetings lie has already received from Lord Ebury, Mr. Gore Langton, Sir William Clay, and more generally from the cheering, handker chief-waving assemblage, who are either about to breakfast with Garibaldi, or who mean to patiently await his departure, for a farewell cheer. After a few minutes the various ticket holders file off to the seats prescribed for them, and the :general enters the breakfast-room, amid the loudly-expressed applause of his hosts. Colonel Chambers and Mr. Seely sat with him at the table put aside for the committee, but neither Menotti nor Ricciotti, nor indeed any other of the Italians in his suite, were present. Lord Ebury presided, with Garibaldi and Mr. Seely on his immediaterightand left. Thebealth of the Queen, with a happyquotation from the general'aspeech at the Crystal Palace on Saturday. was followed by that of the Prince and Princess of Wales, with a some what discursive, but perhaps not unwelcome, allu sion to Danish affaire, aud then came the toast of the day. Lord Ebury honestly avowed his admir ation for Garibaldi, an admiration not merely of yesterday or to-day, but which, dating from his first patriotic efforts, had strengthened and inten sified with each triumph he had won, and every instance of unselfish devotion he had displayed, and then, in the name of the members present, bade Garibaldi welcome to the Reform Club, and wished him God speed in his noble effort for the regeneration and unity of his country. Garibaldi's reply was terse and effective. He re peated the thanks he has so frequently and grace fully iterated during the last fortnight, and his allusion to his newly-acquired citizenship was ac cepted as an oratorical " point ;" and the " I am au Englishman now, and I call on you to drink to my adopted country" received with loud and continuous cheering. The Duke of Sutherland arrived as Lord Ebury was proposing the general's health, and soon after his response left with Garibaldi and Mr. Seely. The triumphal hymn or song which M. Jullien and his corps of fellow sympathisers interpolated between the proposal of, and the re turning thanks to, the toast of the day, was not the least pleasing feature of thin reception. The general looked well in health, but seemed somewhat to lack the fire and energy so notable in his demeanour a short week ago. At two o'clock the general was to lunch with Earl and Lady Russell. This evening be dines with the Fishmongers' Company. No intimation ball been received by us thia morn ing of any change in the determination of General Garibaldi to leave England on Monday next. CONVOCATION OF THE PROVINCE or CANTERBERT. —Yesterday morning both Houses of Oonvocatioc roes sembled at Westminster for the despatch of business, the Upper House meeting in Queen Aaaes Bountr-office, and the Lower House in the Jerusalem Chamber. In the upper House the Bishop of Oxford presented • petition on the 'abject of the court of appal on ectlesiastioal questions. Addressee were agreed to, to the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales, in reference to the recent birth of a prim*. A depatatio• from the Lower House, cousisting of the Very Rev. Dr. Stanley, Dean of Westminster, the Dean of Ely, Canon Selwyn, sod other gentlemen, brought up a gravamen, signed by 40 members of the Lower House, on the subject of a condemnation of • boos known as " &says and Reviews." Some questions having been put by the archbishop as to the circumstances which had called forth the gravamen, the deputation withdrew. The Bishop of Oxford, io a speech of enasidenible length, moved the ap pointment of • committee to consider and report on the subject, the further discussion upon which was adjourned. The business in the Lower House was not of sufaciout public interest to call for a report. SUICIDE BY • ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGYMAN. On Friday last, about 5 o'clock p.m. the Rev.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT REAR DRIIPPIIii: Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock, intelligence reached Hull that a serious and frightful accident had occurred on the Hull and Scarborough lino, near Driffleld. At Bret • rumour spread with peat rapidity to the effect that at least three persons had been instentaneonaly killed.

The train was somewhat longer than usual, and owing to the Driffield cattle fair being held yesterday, • large somber of butchers, cattle dealers, and drover. from Hull were amongst the passeogen. The carriage next to the engine was a third-class one, and it was to this carriage that the scrident occurred. The train proceeded as usual until it passed Lockington. Soon after leaving this station the car riage began to jolt in a manner anything but agreeable to the passengers. This was thought nothing of at first, and was believed to be owed by the lies being scarcely level. This was found out to be the ease, as the jolting got worse, and before long became almost unbearable. There were about forty passengers in the carriage, and for a time they were fully convinced that the carriage had got off the line. The train was going at a considerable speed, and they every moment expected that the carriage would be overthrown, so violent was the shaking. The ersginedriver and guard , were made aware that something was wrong, and both applied their breaks to stop the train. Betas the train could be stopped many of the passengers became so alarmed that at one time it appeared highly probable that several of them would jump out before the speed had been much reduced. Some of the men prudent of their fellow-travellers, however, dissuaded them from rushing on what appeared to be almost certain death. So great was the panic in the carriage that some of the female passengers would have jumped out bad they not been forcibly restrained. Notwithstanding every persuasion Mr. Ledger, butcher, Regent-street, Hull, amine out of the carriage, and fell very heavily to the ground. By this time the alarm had spread to several of the other carriages, and Mr. Sliesrsmitb, butcher, Cumberland-street, Hull, and Hr. Straker, of Beverley, jumped from one of the other carriages, both receiving very minions injuriee. Before the train could be brought to a stand, the floor of the fiat compartment of the first carriage was soddenly split in two, and the pawns gers with great difficult 7 climbed into the next compart ment, thus escaping serious injury. The train was stopped a shortdistance from Hutto° Cranswick, when it was found that the broken carriage was off the line, and that the tire of one of the wheels was broken. The passengers, having satisfied themselves as to the cause of the accident, started in great numbers bark along the line in search of those who bad jumped out of the carriages, and whom they fully expected to find either horribly mangled or killed. Mr. Ledger was found lying on his back .s • state of imolai bdity. He was much braised about the heed, and on one eye there was a frightful gash from which the blood was oozing. Mr. Shearsmith was found in • state of great suffering, having broken case of his legs in the fall. Mr. Straker bad also received serious injury, and had by the leap from the train put oat one of his ankles. A Mr. Straker, jun., and Mr. S. Edmonds, Hull, also jumped from the train, but escaped ushurt. The sufferers received every attention, and were brought to Hall by the train front Scarborough, which arrived at the scene of the disinter a short time 'Aar its occurrence. The shattered carriage having been got out of the way, the peassogere were con veyed to their destination.—Eastern Counties Herald.

Property, however, to • mach larger amount was poinded. The boor fixed for the sale of Mr. M`Lerse's effects was 11 o'clock ; but the crowd began to assemble beg before that time, and when the authorities arrived at the scene of their labours they found awaiting them • mar of people which exteoded from St. Andrewaquare down to Pr ;ices -street, and completely filled up the large and open space which in tervenes. Os a moderate estimate not lees than between 3,C30 and 4,000 pampa were pneeset. Nor were the spec. tators confined to the dress. Every position where a footing could be obtained on the opposite side of the street wis oc cupied ; every window from the basement to the roof VP filled with ladies and gentlemen, and the belcouies even became a somewhat dangerous point of observation for many. The officials—including Mr. Kenmore Maitland, the theriff-elork ; Mr. Whitten, the depute sheriff-clerk; Mr. Lintoo, the superintendest of police, arrived on the scene of action amidst immeose groaning and hooting. A path way having been cleared for them, and their aouble file of protectors being oe the alert, they experienced but little difficulty in obtain* an entrance to Mr. M'Laren's este. blishoreet. The auctioneer, • person named Cow, then proceeded, amidst much ooefusios, to the male of the goods, which onemsted chiefly of furniture. The officials, on leaving the house after the male, were received with tn. meadow groans by the multitude in the streets. Some one then announced from one of Mr. M'Leren's windows that porters had entered the hotel to carry off the goods which had been bought by parties other than Mr. 'Mans, sad the announcement was received with a shout. Shortly afterwards a servant girl appeared at the door of the hotel, aarryiag two cushions of the sofa which had been bought In for the poindieg creditor. These were flung into the midst at the crowd, who immediately seized them with the utmost demosetratiose of joy. For some time they wen used as plaything,, tamed about from one end of the multitude to the other ; bat speedily getting Undo( this species of enjoyment, the holders proceeded to tear them in pieces. In • moment the coverings were de stroyed, and the feathers which they enclosed were tamed out on the street. As they fell I. thick, White muses they were caught by the wind and by them nearest the scene, sad again toned up in the sir, falling down on the shoulders of the crowd like • heavy shower of meow, and • them es with the flakes of winter. Another object was, however, speedily pro cured for the welshing of their vengeance. The bone of contention, the sofa itself, appeared at the door bone by • few porters. Those were speedily relieved of their harden ; for on their inning out into the street the mob, having not the fear of the police before them, immediately tore it from them, and canted it off the pavement into the middle of the street. There it speedily fell a prey to their fury. The mattress was removed and taken possession of by cos group, while another paid attention to the wooden frame. The matins was torn in pieces, and the hair extracted sod distributed oolong the oolookers. The sofa itself ices apparently composed of strong materials and well bat, for it resisted the utmost efforts of the crowd for • oressidereble time. The legs first fell before the assault. They were knocked off and reteind by their owners es weapons of defence or offence, aooordiog to can cumatosoes. :Using next the trunk of the dismembered body, some of them named it aloft in the air, and dashed it down with the utmost violence on the numeway. The strongest roustitution could not long bold out against such injuries, sad at length the sofa pstished—ita timbres sepa rated from their concenon and smashed into fragments. It was not long ere steps were taken for removing its remains from off the face of the earth. Toe diejecta mantra were carefully collected into one beep in the middle of the street, the sepa rate materials being scientifically arranged for a good blaze. The heir of the matinee, which had been tossed about from one bolder to another, was gathered in to aid in the coofiagration, and skilfully inserted into the inter stices left by the broken framework. A light was without difficulty obtained, and ices applied to this mass of iodate mable materials, and a blase was in a few moments raised sufficiently to have brilliantly lighted up the street for a great distance had it taken place at night. It burned away tnerrili until the whole was reduced to • mass of carbon. each mace retaining the form which it had previously pos sessed. During all these proceedings not the slightest op. position was offered to the crowd, although • sergeant and • number of constables were presset. SHOCKING .VURDER IN SCOTLAND. (From the Edinburgh Courant.) Since, our former reports of the atrocious crime at Itatho. the following circumstances have been ascer tained :—lt appears that on Saturday muslin, about 7 o'clock, the prisoner Bryce came into the kitchen of his father's house, and askrd his mother if she had seen any of hie nismey. She replied that his father had taken some out of his pockets the previous night, as we understand was his custom when his sou was iodolgiog in liquor. Bryn. mid it war all right, and on leaving told his mother that be was going to the town (Edinburgh). He then mat Mr. Tod's gardener coming from Mr. Tad's home, and inquired about a small wooden building in the g arden of Dr. Fowler's manse. When he entered Mr. Tod's house the cook supposed that he had come to Übe some boxes to the railway station, as he wee in the habit cd doing. He asked for Joule, and on being told that she wen in the nursery, but that he could not see her, he immediately rushed into the surgery and savagely assaulted the unsuspecting girl in the manner al ready described. Having been routed by Mrs. Ted and the cook, who, it is said, was bitten by the Milan is the struggle, Jessie Seaton fled for protraction to Mr. Bianis's house, the nearest from Mr. Tod's. Mr. Bionic was unfortunately from home, and Mrs. Bionic. was out milking the cows. She heard the shrieks of the poor girl, and, it is believed, witnessed the awful deed = ttoted. The inhuman scoundrel sfter cutting her i is said to have leaped upon her body, and trampled with his test the dying girl. Mrs. Tod, it is uudentood, wan not an eye-witness to the tragedy, but coming up immediately thereafter, and seeing the mangled body of her poor servant whom she had so recently ooursgeously rescued, fainted, and wee borne home uneococious. Meanwhile the murderer had run off, and was next seen by a farmer, to whom he coolly remarked that it wee • beautiful morning. He appeared to be quite sober and cothicted they, but was observed to have his hand °ono/ailed under his out tail. He afterwards met ea aequaistasce named Davidson, who bad heard of the murder by this time, but who pretended not to know of it. Bryce asked Davidson where he had been. He replied, "At Newbridge, on the spree all night;' whereupon the accused remarked that he also bad been on the spree. He offered to treat Davidson to • gill at Newbridge, if he would go back with him. Davidson agreed to do so, but Bryce then observed some nuarrymen coming up evidently in pursuit of him. He cried out with an oath that he was dors for, and drew the bloody razor emus his threat, inflicting (whether from cowardice or agitation, it I. not knows) only a alight wound. He then asked Davidson to cot his throat for him, as be could not do it himself. Davidson took the razor from him and threw it away ; but Bryce picked it up, and ran away at great speed in the direction of New. bridge, followed closely by Davidson and the quarrymen. His crowed the Edinburgh and Glas gow ' way, leaping down a steep and high rock, tad climbing one ea the other aide, when be unexpe - thdll cams upon • squad of tevvies working on the Maui. lino of railway towards Queusferry. On seeing Bryce and hie pursuers the navvies brought him to • stop. He threatened to do for any one who would approach him, and brandished the razor, but was cowed by • bold navviezt armies himself with two large stones, swore he knock his brains out if he would not surrender. He was then secured, and basdniffed by • constable, who conveyed bins to the police station at Rothe. On being charged with seriously wounding a young woman by cutting her threat, be is said to have inquired if the MS dead. The akar, either not knowing the fact, or conceal ing it, said that ohs was not. Whereupon Br. ce remarked that she deserved what she had got ; it would learn her not to interfere with her tongue ague. Oa being shown the corps. of his victim and the ghastly wound he had made, 210 gave a convulsive shudder, bat betrayed no other sign of emotion.
