Last night, at the Marylebone Institution, there was a trial (the second of the season) of new chamber com positions, with a view to judge of their aptitude for public performance at the concerts of the society. The pieces were :—A quartet for stringed instruments, in C minor, called "The Life of a Musician," by H. F. Schroeder; • quartet in G, by James Lea Summers ; • pianoforte quartet in E, by Oliver May; %stringed quartet in I), by Mies Mary Alice Smith, and another in minor, by Henry B►umer, All these young composers are emaciates of the society, and musicians (judging from these sped. mens) of highly promising talents. The performers were—first and second violins, Messrs. Louis Hies sod Canaille ; viola, Mr. Webb, and violoncello, Herr Lidel ; and Mr. May of course played the pianoforte part in his own quartet. Mr. Schroeder's work was most elaborate, and evinced masterly skill ; but unfortunately be was seduced by the example of Spohr into an attempt to carry music as a descriptive art beyond its legitimate object. To attempt to write a piece of biography—to paint " perseve rance and progress," "anxiety," "hope, despair, suc cess and thanksgiving," by means of musical movements, allegros, andantes, and viracez, will ever he failures in the hands of the greatest masters. The quartet by Mr. Summers, a blind young man, pleased greatly by its natural, unpretending flow of melody. Miss Alice Smith, who has already distin guished herself by compositions of much merit, was also very successful : her quartet showed a mescaline amount of musical learning, with much feminine grace, elegance, and feeling. The trial was altogether very satisfactory ; and an the pieces were listened to with much attention andevident satisfaction by a highly musical audience who filled evtry part of the room. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The interior of the building was exceedingly po pulous yesterday, and decidedly busy, the exhibi tors busy removing their goods, and the spectators iu examining such as were still permitted to remain. The attendance was above 7,000. STATUE OP THE LATE JOHN FIELDEN, meeting of the committee formed at Todmorden to erect a statue in that town of John !golden, late M.P. for Oldham, to commemorate his services in obtaining an amelioration of the condition of the factory operatives, took place yesterday evening. Mr. Foley H.A., the sculptor commissioned to execute this work of art s was present, and submitted a model of the statue for approval. The statue represents Mr. linden in • characteristic attitude, when aiMreming a ten hours' meeting. He stands with his left leg thrown slightly forward, his right hand in the arm-hole of his waistcoat, mid his left on a copy of the ten hours' bill, which lies on a pedestal by his radii. There is nothing theatrical in the figure, but a quiet dignity pervades it. The features of the face are well preserved. and the committee expressed themselves highly pleased both with the deign and exe cution of the work. Ii is understood that Mr. Foley has already made considerable prosiess with the full-sized figure, and it is expected that the statue, which will be about seven feet six inches in height, will be completed during the ensuing year. ANorti fin FATAL CRINOLINE ACCIDENT.--011 Tuesday evening Mr. Bird, the coroner foe the Western Division of Middlesex, held an inquiry at the Golden Lion public-house, Fulham, respecting the death of • lady named Anne Maria Leaver, aged 39 years, who died on Monday night from the effects of severe bums. The unfortunate deceased and her daughter, a young lady about 17 years of age, were saying at the residence of Mr. Charles Mathews, the comedian, Gore Lodge, Fulhaia, ou a visit from America. On Monday last the whole household were terribly alarmed by the piercing screams of the deceased, who was found on the stairs enveloped in flames. Imme diate steps. were taken to extinguish the flames, but not before the dammed was burnt in a most shocking manner about the lower part of her body. Mr. Itee. the surgeon, of Walham-green, promptly attended, but all his efforts were unavailing, as she died in a few hours after wards. It also appeared that the drapery about the fire place of the room in which the deceased had been, was in flames, and they were extinguished without much damage being caused. No person was present when the unfortunate occurrence took place, and it was supposed that the deceased was standing in frost of the fire, mid that her dram which was expanded by crinoline, came in contact with the burning coals, sod was soon in a blew. Upon the deceased finding that she was on fire she embed out of the room and down the stairs immeshing. The jury returned a verdict of `• Accidental death." Mr. and M. Mathews were from home at Use time, but VIM immediately tele graphed far. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. Mama 171101AIrs.) ITALY. TURIN, Nov. 12.

The Giornale Ufficiale gives a brief account of a serious occurrence which has taken place in the Capi tenet& It is the more serious from its appearing in an official statement. The follovriag are the facts as I learnt them from a reliable source band of fifty brigands, on horseback, was seen issuing from a valley. A company of soldiers, which happened to be but a few miles distant, di vided itself into two parties for the purpose of getting at the baud from two directions. But whilst one diviaion of the soldiers, expecting soon to come • up with the brigands whom they saw on a hill, marched towards them, the larger portion of the band, which kept separate from the rest, attacked and routed the other party. The brigands were all mounted, and were clothed and armed in mili tary style. After this first success they advanced to attack the remainder of the soldiers, who, seeing the brigands were four times their number, took post in a house : the soldiers were commanded by , a very dashing officer named Rossi The fate of this party has not yet been ascertained, as the brigands have cut the telegraphic wires. In the meantime the affair, although known only as it is narrated in an official journal, which is silent regard ing its termination, has given rise to many unplea sant observations, since it shows that the police of the Southern provinces are not able to obtain in formation of the movements of the brigands, nor of bow they obtain arms, or who act as their guides ; yet somebody pays their ex penses, clothes, and arms them. The government is blamed for not having sent to the Capitanata some regiments of cavalry, which, in conjunction with the Bersaglieri t would soon free the country from these wretches. The cavalry is left inactive in garrison where it is not wanted, and is not to be found where it is sorely required. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. Yesterday morning Messrs. Bradbury, °restores, and Co., forwarded to the Lord Mayor the munificient sum of 1,0001. in aid of the distressed operatives in Lancashire. It was accompanied by a smaller sum of 71. 17s. 11d., being a subscription of two weeks from the employes of that firm, and who will continue their subscriptions weekly. Amongst the other donations were : Lady Blanche Balfour, 1001., to be continued monthly for four mouths ; first in stalment from Pontefract, per Mayor, 4001.; Her. Sir Francis Baring, Bart, 50/. ; house to house collection at Stone, per T. Gundry, first instalment, 2001. ; Means. Cold,. cott, Son, and Wiloock, 1001. ; Messrs.

Welsh, Margeteon, and Co., 1051. ; Colonel Henry Stewart Wortley, 25/. This latter donation was &axial ponied by a letter to his lordship, stating that the com mittee of the Photographic Society, whose annual exhibi tion of photographs will open in January, had allotted him is space for a frame of pictures, and that they had kindly consented to allow him to dispose of copies*of these pictures for sale in their rooms, the produce of which sale he pro ' posed devoting to the relief of the distressed Lancashire operatives. As money wee most urgently required at the present time, he inclosed the sum of 2al. in advance, he having no doubt but that pictures to at least that amount would be sold, and he hoped ever to be able to forward a farther sum to his worship before the closing of the exhibi tion. In conclusion, he hoped that other amateurs who pur posed exhibiting would be led to dispose of their pictures or the benefit of their fellow-countrymen who were suffer ing so much. The total amount which came to hand in the course of yesterday was upwards of 3,4001. THE CENTRAL RELIEF FUND.—The first meeting of the newly appointed canvassing committee was held yes terday, at the Manchester Town-hall.

Another resolution was, that application be made to every firm in Manchester and Salford to appoint some per iu their respective establishment. who will take charge of weekly or monthly subscription lista. A number of gentlemen were appointed pro fan. to canvas the principal parts of the city. A communication was read from the St. Pancras Lancashire Aul Fuod Committee, announcing a remittance of lOW.. and that a similar sum would be for warded every week for the future, s long as the funds of the committee would hold out.

THE REPRESENTATION OF TOTEM. Scarcely have the two political parties in this long divided borough determined to reconcile their differences, and to ratify their treaty of peace in the unanimous selection of Councillors, Aldermen, and Mayor, than they are threatened with • political struggle of higher importance. It was commonly rumoured at'Fotnes on Monday that the Earl of Gifford, one of the members for the borough, who has for • long time been hopelessly ill, was then actually dying, and • telegram was looked for daily to announce his decease. A. telegram announcing the melancholy news of Mr. Mills's death was received, in the first place, by Mr. Rel. lock, about 11 a.m. Later in the day Mr. , Windeatt os ceived • =wage announcing that • vacancy had taken place in the representation. Mr. Wiodeattat once presumed that this referred to the death of the Parlor Gifford. Subse quently Mr. Coming received • more explicit message. The church bells were then tolled, and announced to the town the loss which the borough bad sustained. At re sent no candidate has announced himself on dither side; but it is asserted by both parties that the seat will be contested. The conservatives have, for some time, been prepared with a candidate, Mr. C. G. Colleton-Rennie, •m of Sir John Rennie, the eminent engineer, who has re cently taken up his abode at Bowden-house, Totnes. Mr. Colleton-Renote, who was yesterday in London, was at once communicated with, sod was expected to arrive by last night's express. It is fully expected that hie address will be Woad to-day. Mr. Oolkton-Rennie made his first ap pearance before the conservative electors of Totem about a year ago, on which occasion he declared himself a warm ad mirer of Lord Derby. This gentleman is q alto young, being. we believe, under five-and-twenty. The liberals on Tuesday night were not prepared with a candidate for this seat, although they bad for some time past been ready with a substitute for the Earl of Gifford. The heeds of the liberal party are not, however, likely to be in want of • candidate, for they have received communications from all parts of the kingdom. It was currently reported, however, in the town that one of the legal agents of the party had taken the train for Plymouth, and it is therefore supposed that a candidate may come from the west rather than from the east. From the circumstance that Admiral Sir Bonitos Stewart, port ad miral at Plymouth, is connected with the Duke of Somerset, it has been surmised that a member of this family may be chosen. The latest accounts of the Earl of Gifford left no hope of that nobleman's recovery, and his death is hourly expected. The probability of this event does not, however, seem to have induced the two political parties to carry out, in the parliamentary contest, the peaceful arrangement which they have recently adopted with respect to municipal matters.— Western Morning News. THE CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. A special Court of Sewers was convened yester day, for the purpose of reoeivi•g a report from the General Purposes Committee on • reference of the 4th inst., relative to • bill about to be introduced into parlia ment in the next session by the Great Central Gas Con sumers' Company, and on the question whether the com. mission should give notice to introduce a bill similar to that of last session for amending the Gas Act of 1860. Mr. Ds JER.4131 presided. After a few preliminary observations from the Chairman, the report was read. It detailed the various steps which had been taken in reference to the Gas Bill of 1860, and the bill subeequeotly brought forward by the Croat Central Ou Company to remove the doubts which had been raised as to the powers of the company under their own act to increase the price of gas beyond 4s. the 1.000 feet. The special case winch bad been raised by the court was shortly to be argued in the Court of Error, and the Great Central Gas Company had given notice to introduce their bill of last session, which they had previously withdrawn. The committee stated they were of opinion that, taking into consideration that the question at issue between that commission and the Great Central Gas Company was at present before the Court of Error, and would be discussed about the end of the present month, it would not be expedient to introduce the bill similar to that of last session, but that the commission should await the lame of the appeal, and act thereon as the ' case might require. The CHAIRMAN observed that that being the last day on which notices could be given to parliament, it was for the court to say whether or not they thought it desirable that the bill should be introduced, or whether they would ogres with the committee in their report. The report was agreed to, and the court adjourned.

On Tuesday there was • sitting of the Bristol Local Marine Board, at their offices in Prince . estreet, to investigate • singular charge against a merchant captain, a few particulars of which we have already placed before our readers. The members of the committee prevent were Mr. R. P. King, in the chair, Mr. Whitwill, Mr. Lucas, and Mr. R. Rowe. Mr. H. Britten acted as legal ansistast The charge was preferred by Mum. T. Berm sal Co., of Newport, against Captain Henry Mathias, and wee to the effect that he. being the muter of the barque 7= Newport, on an intended voyage from Newport to 3 In the Breath, was, when the vessel bad arrived off Cape Horn, guilty of a grime act of misconduct. in having, with. out proper or sufßcient moss o!. reason, neglected or entitled further to proceed on the mid voyage, and navigated the *easel back to Newport. Captain Mathias promised to deliver up his certificate to abide the result of the inquiry, which was then prozerdsd with. He had no legal undoing and said he wanted DOD, but would conduct his own we. When asked, after hearing the evidence against him, if he desired time to prepare hie defence, he replied in the negative, and ee -1 pressed his desire to enter upon it at oboe. He contacted his defence and delivered his address in a cool and intern : gent manner. Mr. Cathcart, solicitor, of Newport, is stating the ease, said he wasinstracted by Mr. Berson, the managing owner of the barque Usk, of Newport, to bring before Meer notice eireunstaitess coassoted with the modest of Capt. , Mathis% the late master of the vowel, now out, with a wan not a p vieww of asking tern to say that u Ice of • Master .mariner. Mr. ashherefi . Mated a he edra the eirounntances, and it appeared that defsodaat, • after being out for 30 days, encountered stormy weather, sad ' changed the mane of the Alp to the Falkland Islands, evie dently for a temporary purpesebut subsequently, from some extraordinary Muse, be felt it incumbent on him to sail the vessel back to New On the 21st of October Mr. Bryson was much surprised to see Capt. Mathieu at his house, and to be Wormed by him that the vessel was brought back toNew poet, and was there for the ownere. It seemed that the DD. eel. after leaving Newport, ran to the Falkland islands, and ran home again. Such conduct was most disastrous to the owners, and the time and expense incurred for those months were perfectly wasted. Unless thecharteeere should be conciliatory the circumstances must prove mad disastrous—the owners must sustain serious loss by the re markable conduct of Captain Mathias. The only expla nation for the return home that the mate °Gehl get from him was that be (the captain) bad seen the Almighty per sonally, and that he had been told by the Almighty not to proceed on the voyage, or the vessel would be destroyed with all hands. Hs asked the committee out to bold that the captain was labouring under a delusion, but to entertain a view very prejudicial to Captain Mathias. Whatever might have been his inducement to return home, it was obvious that he held some very extraordinary meson was necessary to be furnished to the owners for his conduct. Mr. Cathcart agreed that the captain could not be labouring cedar a delu sion. There were instances of a mind taking up one idea so f ally and thoroughly as tomake that a prominent one over all the actions of the individual, but the captain did not sot consistently with that idea, for on every other subject he was perfectly rational. The first mate had wanted to act on the principle of common sense, sod to deal in • bona fide manner with the owners, and the captain had cunning enough to set the crew against the mate, sod when the latter was desirous of recording in the log-book the reason the captain had given for brieging the vessel home, the captain objected, and that showed he was not labouring under a delusion, or be would have acted up to his delusion, and would have ordered it to be put in the lag-book. In conclusion Mr. Cathcart said he would oak Captain Mathias to satisfy them that this extraordinary proceediog on his wu justifiable, and if he did not be (Mr. ikth cart) would contend that the circumstances were amply sufficient to warrant the committee in determining that Captain Mathias should no longer hold • certificate to admit of his placing the owners of vessels under such arenas. stanoce as his placed Messrs. Beynon. David Evans, of Cardiff, late mate of the barque Usk, of Newport, deposed to starting in her with a cargo of coals in June last for Caldera, in the Brazils. The crew cos slated of twelve, Captain Mathias being master, and hie nephew boatswain. The captain's daughter, who was 15 years of age, was also on board as a pusenger. In August the weather was very severe, and the captain said be bad changed the course to the Falkland Islands. They continued in that course, as the captain said, for the purpose of getting into smoother water. Subsequently he said he should have the venal surveyed, as she bad laboured and strained, and told him to put in the log the weather as "heavy as he could. That was on the 17th of August.—By Mr. King : I did not put the weather in heavier than it eraa—Ex•mios tion motioned : In witnesa's judgment there was sufficient reason for altering the course to the Falkland Islands. In the course of three or four days whams (clued that the course was too much to the east for these ialauda, and he asked the captain where he intended taking her, and he re plied that he intended to take her back to Newport Docks. He asked him his reason, and he said that he had had an ocular demonstration from God not to proceed, or he would lose the ship and urge and the lives of all on board. Witmer said he did not believe it, sod asked him if he intended to take the skip home or to do it honourable Asked him to put into Monte Video, and to write home to the owners to give him (witness) charge of the ship, or to send another master oat, then the owners would gladly pay his (captain's) pas sage home, rather than have the ship at Newport. He said God had told him to stop nowhere upon the plains, but to proceed straight back to Newport, and deliver the ship to the man he had got it from, and that he deviated from that God would strike him with instaut death. Begged him to put tote port. When witaesa persaaded him to go on the voyage his daeghter said she would saceillos her own life rather than he aboald proceed. Witness referred to the lass that would be entailed upon his owners, and told him that disgrace would be entailed upon him and his family. He then answered with a Scriptural quotation. He said when David committed a sin God sacrificed liver to atone for it. and that if it ruined the owners God's purpose must be carried out, adding that witimen might take charge of the ship if he (the witness) first killed him (the captain) with a carving knife which he was then holding in his band. These conversations were about the 20th of August The captain said he would make witness suffer for his misconduct to him. After the gale was over 'Rafts could see that the ship wasnot strained, notwlthetamlioe the entries is the log book. When these entries were made miter= thought her labouring sod strainiog. They could have mods the port of Monte Video easily. After wards tried to get him to pat into • Basilian port, but he still refused te allow the Teamed to be put in. When witness wanted to put into Pernambuco, he told the crew that God had told him that it was in witness's heart to take the command of the ship from him, and that God had told him to keep the rod heavy upon witnese's &boulders. He also told the crew that if they allowed whims W take the command of the ship he would scuttle ber, as that would be of great interest to the owners. He also told them that witness and another muter in a voyage previously, by scuttling the ship, had defrauded the underwriters of , 20,0001. Having heard his reason for taking the ship home, witness asked him if be should enter it in the lug-book, and he said it was not required that it should be so entered, and that he would take all the responsibility on his own shoul ders, as he was muter of the ship. Up to the time the , ship's course was altered his conduct had been that of a sane , man. During the voyage home be also acted as • sane man, indeed taking more responsibility on himself. It was the , captain, not witness, who had influence over the crew. The captain told them that witness was an instrument of Satan to , try their patieoce. The uptrunbrought the vessel to Newport and !etcher. She ryas in sound condition and her urgoallright. She started again on her voyage within a day or two. The cap tain did not consult withers as to the propriety of returning. The captain was on intimate terms with his nephew, the boatswain. _ . . The captain then proceeded to crow-ermine the witness, who said the former had threatened to put him in irons for remonstrating about the ship. The captain remonstrated with witness for cutting ropes and the like. sod also for misconduct. The captain had accused witness of being asleep on deck when he was not asleep. The man had left the wheel and gone late the cabin to see the time during wit ness's watch on deck. He wee forward at the time. The captain had threatened to put witness's name in the official log-book, and to take his certificate from him. The Captain—You interrupted me while I was writing it on the slate, and I said, from respect to your father and mother, and you having begged my pardoo, I would not injure you, so I had not yet injured either offloer orseaman. Witness —You did, sir. The Chairman (to the captain}—You are only charged with bringing the vessel back to Newport—you have only to justify yourself for doing It. The Captain said he wished to show that he bad not taken soy advantage of the chief officer. Mr. Brittan—The gross misconduct with which you are rged is the bringing the ship back. With that excep t seems that your conduct was quite correct in the charged tiou it ) 117. e betheartasid there wee a perfect answer to all the kntala'm allegations. George Bwoffing, of Newport, a morn no board the IJsk, said be did not think there was anything to necessitate the retain of the ship to Newport. Mr. Thomas Beyer, of Newport, said be was the wag bag owner of the Usk, 338 tons. She riled lost Warmlay for Caldera, with the original cargo of cools. Elbe sailed from Swarm oo the 13th of April, under Captain Mathias, who had been muter of her for three yams. He was to take oat the coals sal bring home copper are. He went a *writ distance on his voyage, and after beim three wars out retorted in °prayers of en &rider. He sure csanted.started from Newport, sod returned again, as above lie had hod no authority to return until be bad completed has voyage. Orrin Mathias, in answer to the erstkia whether there was say this( thematter . with the ship, said there was nothing the matter with her. Mitres th en asked him to explain why he bed erne batik, sad be said that Hod Ahtighty had told him to ?Sure book. Ho obi [TWOPENCE He had appeared to him in the cabin, that be renewed with Him ant on the ebartausety. He told the Almighty he was bound to Caldera, and that he should go there ; whereupon the Almighty said if he attempted to go to Calder He should destroy him, the ship, and the crew. He thee said he considered without sea friend and a brother after what he had done for him, and for that reason he pleaded to the Almighty to go into the Falkland Islands or some Brazilian port, to save him some amount of loss, but the Almighty's orders were to bring the ship hack to New. port Docks. &dove be eventually complied with this he asked fora dim, and the reply was that as soon as he ran to the north his glass would go up. After making this stem med the cap ta in said be wanted hie tea, and went home. The capeain's conduct in benfing the vowel back had been productive of heavy lon to witness and the other owners. This being the case against the captain, he proceeded to address the committee en his own behalf. He spoke of the heavy weather that provided, and of the confidence and comfort be felt, nevertheless, up to a certain time. lie then went on to say that he had been • professor of religion for 17 years, and made it a practice about ten in the morning to read a chapter mid then to enter his service to his Creator. After that had passed one day he felt a pressure on his mind that he had not ever before felt, and be asked himself what this could mean, for he had generally felt light and comfortable under all eiresuosteaces in fast there had only bees one or two ream eironmetances ia his life, though he had been at ma for 32 yeast He repeated that he began to inquire what wan the mewing!f this prewar% and he thought he would g• and make a past of piayer at it, and he did so, when lie found that a sma ll dill voice spoke within him to re turn to Boned with the ship, but he eines within him most firmly against it. The more he strove, however, the wave it resisted bias, and he found the power to be so strong that it was He remained in that state. He did not maim known the state of hi mind to • seed in the ship.

He could est• sleep or rest., and no doubt the mate and the men in the cabin must have known that there was something in the expression of his coentesance that was never seen there, before.

He turned the ship at his own private will. No other perms bed any connexion or anything to do with the ship, and he had not made known his desire or anything of the kind. lie had told the mate he might take the respon sibilitg of the ship, but he had never applied or aimed to take the ship from him ; neither the mate nor the men, nor anyone in the ship, after he gave the order to square the yards and alter the vessel's course, disobeyed his orders. Everything had been carried out according to the orders he had given ; there was • very favourable wand, and he de tected the hand a/ Providence in the voyage home. He had foretold the time when his ship would ben dock, though he did not know that there would be a pilot, and the weather was bad. Yet everything came as he had foretold. He believed the men and officers raw everything transacted in a meaner they could not account for, but he could see it and under stood it. He had given his evidence from first to last as he had given it to Mr. Beynon. He (Captain Mathias) was de sirous of imprem t og on the gentlemen not to think he had seen any term in a bodily shape, or any vision, or anything of the kind. Let that he banished. He bad known nothing but a Christie ex tal feeling. That still yoke had spoken to him audibly. He had bad the hand of God pressing him sorely previous to the voice speaking to him. Brittsn—Do you want to call any witoensea captain ? Captain Mi.thias replied in the negative, sod said no 01111 was capable of knowing. The witness existed between God sod himself. He stood estirely on his own respoesibility. His responsibility ran thus—to suffer whatever the law and whatever man could place upon him. He stood as a being to suffer, and be would suffer whatever the law or anything could forcemi him. He would stand and suffer for it what ever it might be, at any moment or at any time. The court was cleared for the deliberation of the commit tee. and after a abort interval, upon its being re-oponed, The Chairman rid—We have come to our decision in this painful case, and Mr. Britian will now read it. . . Mr. Briton read the following •—•' Thatthu Loud do re. port to the Board of Trade as follows :—" That Capt.

A MAN SHOT BY • &LOUR. —OD Monday even ing, shortly after 6 o'clock, an accident, which it is feared will be attended with fatal coosequenoes,occurred within a shooting saloon, situated at 39, Saltmar h et , Glasgow. It appears dist three soldier" of the 29th Regiment, seem periled by three civilian'', entered !the saloon in question for the purpose of having a friendly shot. After several shots had been fired a dispute arose concerning the number of points made, and the result was that two of the soldiers and two of the civilians, one of whom was called Leonard, went up to the target for the purpose of measuring the spaces between the shots. While they were so engaged, as we have been informed, John Penny, one of the soldiers, took a rifle from the boy who was in charge of the saloon at the time, and the boy, who saw the persons standing at the terra, endeevoured at first to permit Peony from getting possess i on of the rifle. The soldier ultimately got possession of the weapon, which mid doily went off, and the bell took effect on the back of Leonard's bead, and the =fortunate fellow dropped upon the ground. The soldier, upon seeing , what be bad done immediately exclaimed, "Good God, .'ve shot him!' sa d threw down the gas.
