THE TUESitii ErF2NiNd s FEBRUARY it, DRURY LANE. The short and very actable version of Shake speare's tragedy of Richard 111., compounded by Colley Cibber, was produced at this house last night, with Mr. Barry Sullivan in the part of the Duke of Glo'stes. This tragedy is so seldom performed at a West-end theatre, that it is almost a novelty, Charles Kean and Gustavus Brooke being the only actors of any importance whom wo remember in the character, and they only played it for a new nights. The vigorous and amusing reading of the part of Richard 111. established by Edmund Kean is the one now adhered to by modern actors, and Mr. Barry Sullivan attempts no important variation. His per. formance brings out all the well-known points, and amuses the audience quite as much by its patent morality as by its intensity. Where Shakespeare ends and Colley Cibber begins few ordinary playgoers probably know or care. To-morrow (Ash Wednesday) Mr. F. 11. Chatterton will give a grand musical entertainment, in which half the singers in London will take part; the School for Scandal will be played on Thursday, Friday, and I I Saturday ' • and on Monday next Mr. Phelps will appear in 11 The Man of the Florid; and a new play by Mr. A. B. Richards will be produced called The Primmer of Toulon ; or a Peasants Revenge. tintbersittp Intelligence. OXFORD, FIB. 24. LOCAL XXAMINATIONS. —EXTENSION OF THY EXAMINATION TO GIRLN.—The following memorial, signed by Lord Taunton, as chairman of the local committee at Taunton, has been received by the secretary to the dele gates of local examinations : it OXFORD LOCAL EXAMINATIONS.—TAUNTON CZNISZ. • " The committee of the Taunton Centre desire fully to call the attention of the delegacy to the reXl:nt tages which may be derived from the extension of the examination to girls. The committee do not pretend to argue on abstract grounds a question whose bearings must be familiar to the delegates. But the general deficiencies of women's education, the rarity of good schools for girls,andthedifficulty of meeting with efficient governesses, are universally admitted. The system of competitive examination as applied to girls has been fairly tested by the University of Cambridge. It is found by the Cambridge . syndicate that female candidates are both increasing in number and rising in the social soils ; and that in elementary subjects of practical value, such as English composition and arithmetic, a marked improve meat has been effected by the examination,. It is under stood also that both those who have actually conducted the examinations, and those who have watched their results, am distin ctly convinced that the experiment has already been a success, and is likely to be more and more successful. The committee is not prepared to invite the Cambridge examinations to Taunton ; but its member venture to lay before the delegacy their hope that the tErol.no i r2"..ofteer: d l. l yn bCeralfhriolgtehemscoy be extended to " TAUNTON, Chairman.

Can didates, who must not have exceeded their sixteenth term, are to call on Mr. Thorley, at Wsdham College, on Friday, March 13, between one and three p.m., with the neual certificates. FIRE IN CmintrnvEtt. —Last night, about eight o'clock a fire broke cut in an extensive range of pre mieres belonging to Mr. Drew, a builder, timber merchant, and shop fitter, in Sutton-street, Clerkenwell. On one side of these premises is a brewery belonging to Mr. Gardener, and on tho other the factory and stores of Palmer and Co., the patent candle and lamp makers. In a very abort space of time, considering tho stoppages caused by the cattle in the roads, Mr. Bridges, the cef officer of the B district of the metropolitan brigade, and other officers, with about eighty firemen, were on the spot with six powerful steam engines, but by the time the engines were brought into play the whole range of workshops, over 100 feet in length and three floors high, were in a general masa of flame. At one period the destruction of Messrs. Palmer's factory and the brewery were threatened, but they were saved. Before the fire was extinguished, however, the whole of Mr. Drew'e manufacturing premises were consumed, including the costly stock in trade and the workmen's tools. The timber in the yard and at the entrance of the front pie r/rises was saved, as were also the books. The origin of the fire is unknown. - SERIOUS FIRE AT 04Thrust.—An alarming are occurred on Sunday morning in the pariah of Cobham in Surrey. Jud as the doer, the Rev. Yr.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.-MONDAY, F. 21. —-- - - - IN the HOUSE of LORDS yesterday, Lord Sr. LIONARDE introduced a bill providing that the lords justices should sit together, and not sepa rately, on appeal motions. The Marquis of Cmtivnicaans laid on the table a bill to amend the law on the tenure of land in Ireland. He deprecated rash and unsound legisla tion under the pretext of tenant-right. It was tho interest of landlords to promote the improvement of their property, and the evidence before the select ' committee to which his bill of last year for facili tating the making of contracts between landlord and tenant was referred showed that many of them were quite ready to do so upon equitable con ditians with suitable tenants. Leases granted for long periods would not in his opinion encourage the introduction of capital. Of late years they had been doing all that legislation could do to encou rage the employment of capital, but they were gravely recommended in Ireland to turn out all the non of capital, and sell the land to those that had none. He pointed out that these schemes would be turned to account by small speculators who would expect and obtain an excessive interest for their outlay. They could only proceed upon estab lished principles, and they must guard against the purposes of agitators which, whilst they excited the peasantry with false hopes of hemming proprietors o. land, would only result in establishing an im poverished race of occupiers. His bill would secure to the tenant a fair remuneration for his improvement, and deal fairly with the rights and interests of the landlord. Lord Sr. LEONARDS Saw no necessity for fresh legislation, unless it could be shown that the act of 1880, which appeared to be most fair and business like, had failed. The Earl of KIMBERLEY said the noble mar quis's bill was so extensive that care must be taken to prevent its introducing confusion. The state of Ireland, as compared with England and Scotland, showed a necessity for the interference of parlia ment. The bill of the noble marquis would not do harm, but might do good, but in some respects it was deficient. He deprecated sweeping revolu tionary remedies, which would produce worse evils than the present. The Earl of MaLattaarnv said, on behalf of the government, he should otter no opposition to the second reading of the bill when it arrived at that stage, but he recommended that the bill should be referred to the same committee as that of last year. The policy of the government on this ques tion would bo explained this day (Tuesday), in another place, by the Secretary for Ireland. The bill was then read a tirat time. •On the order of the day for the second reading of the bill for continuing the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in Ireland, • Earl Russet'. said it was a matter greatly to be deplored, to lied the government asking them for the third time to suspend the constitutional rights of their fellow-subjects in Ireland. But the house could not refuse to do so unless they felt that it was unnecessary, or that the powers had been shined by the government. He admitted that neither of these reasons applied to the present case. Still they were bound to probe the causes of the dis satisfaction which prevailed in Ireland. He depre cated the postponement of legislation, and urged the importance of satisfying the mind of Ireland as necessary to the safety of the empire in the event of a quarrel with the United States, He con demned the Irish church as a grievance and an anomaly unparalleled in any other country, and de manded that the government should at once state whether they meant to ',repot() remedial measures, or to uphold a policy of resistance. The Earl of lIAILDWICAE asked why Earl Russell, who so long held the helm of state, never while he was in office brought in a bill to give effect to the views he now expressed. The abolition of the Irish church would seriously weaken the power of the English government in Ireland. Earl GRRY cordially agreed with the views of Earl Russell, and insisted especially on abolishing the great grievance of the Irish church, which was an insult and degradation in the eyes of the Irish people. • The Duke of Rret►aoND said the government had, as they were bound, taken into consideration the state of Ireland, but they must decide for themselves the time and occasion for introducing their measures. The Marquis of W1W111E.4711 denounced the Irish Roman catholic church as a political engine. The Earl of ELLENISOILOOOII thought it would be a mistaken policy to conciliate the Homan catholics by the opprosaion of tho protestant*, or to set up the one church by the spoliation of the other. At the same time it was desirable to establish religious equality in Ireland. The protestant'', however, were the civil garrison of Ireland. After a few observations from the Bishop of OW4ORY, the bill was read a second time, and the house adjourned at five minutes past eight. HOUSE OF COMMONS. —MONDAY, Fs'. 24. IN the IlousE of CuliMuNS Mr. M'I.A.REst gate , notice that, on the second reading of the Scotch Reform Bill, ho should move that no arrangement for the distribution of seats will be satisfactory which does not treat Scotland, as to the number of its members, as an integral portion of the United Kingdom ; and that to establish an equality at least fifteen additional members should be given to that country. Mr. HARDY stated, in reply to Mr. CANDLISH, that be did not intend this session to introduce a mea sure to prevent the pollution of rivers. The Public Departments (Extra Receipts) Bill was read a second time. The Railways (Extension of Time) Bill was read a second time. Lcavo waa given to Mr. Ewart to bring in a bill to introduce into this country the metric system of weights and me.asures ; and to Mr. S. Cave to bring in a bill to carry into effect a convention between her Majesty and the Emperor of the French concerning the fisheries in the seas ad joining the British islands and France, and to amend the laws relating to British sea fisheries. LordJ. MANNERS moved for leave to bring in a bill to further continue and appropriate the Lon don coal and wino duties. Mr. LA ISOCCIIERE thought it a questionable policy to continue these duties from 1882 to 1888, with a view to borrowing money upon them now. if the bill were identical with that of last year, he should oiler it all the opposition in his power. Leave was then given to bring in the The Lone ADVOCATZ moved for leave to bring in a bill to amend the procedure in the Court of Ses sion, and the judicial arrangements in the superior courts of Scotland. The object of the bill, he stated, was to expedite the decision of cases, and this it was proposed to effect by extending the time for the sitting of the courts to some extent, and also to make certain arrangements by which the judges would be enabled to decide cases at times when at present they could not come before them. The bill also provided a new court of ap peal to review the &Widow of the sherills ; and it educed the number of the jury in civil cases from 13 to 7. Mr. MONVREIVI , criticised the provisions of the bpi, but expressed biz belief that the bill would effect a great improvement on the present pro cedure. Leave was given to bring in the bill, and also to bring in another bill to amend the procedure in the Court of Justiciary in Scotland. the house adjourned at twenty-five minutes past sir o'clock.

MR. SPEKE. [The following appeared in our Second Edition yesterday.] . . Wu have received the following from the Chief Commissioner of Police : "Sir Richard Mayne presents his compliments to the Editor of the Exprw, and requests he will have it made publicly known that information was received this morning of the Rev. Mr. Spoke's safety. " Mr. Charles T. Murdoch, on receiving the in telligence, communicated it immediately to Sir Richard Mayne, in order that the public mind might be relieved as early as possible from the painful state of suspense that the case has produced. Re was found at Padstow, Cornwall. "4, Whitehall-place, Feb. 24, 1568." We understand that the information relative to his whereabouts came from the rev. gentleman himself. The communication was received by Mr. Murdoch, whose name has been so prominently before the public in canneetion with the affair ; and immediately on its receipt he informed Sir Richard Mayne of the fact, and loft town for Corn wall in order to see Mr. Speke, and to place beyond doubt the solution of the mystery. 17p to last night the police in Scotland-yard were, it is said, in possession of nothing to throw any light upon the cause of the mysterioua disappearance. Padatow is a small seaport market town on the coast of Cornwall, about 11 miles from Bodmin and 29 from Falmouth. The following statement is from the Wester► Morning News of this morning :. "A man dressed as a bullock drover was arrested on Friday, at Padstow, with a large sum of money in his possession, and was remanded three days on suspicion of being a man named Ayre, who lately absconded from Hull. He was proved, however, not to be Ayre. Among his luggage various disguises were found. Being a man of superior deportment, further suspicion was aroused, and it was thought that his description corresponded with that of the Rev. Mr. Spoke. After great hesitation he ad mitted he was that gentleman. He is now in custody of the police at Bodmin. His conversation L was perfectly rational."— Western Morning News.

Wagering on I the Liverpool Grand National was especially spirited, the favourites coming in for extensive support, while several horses in tho szcond and third ranks ,ecured good invot went' in their favour. Daisy was established first favou rite, 100 to 8 being so Deily booked in his favour that in • short time the odds became reduced apoint, end layers could not be induxd to give way. The half-dozen candi dates whose names immediately - follow in the quotations were all firm, and with regard to Lord Coventry's it was difficult to say which was the better favourite of the two, so freely and continuously were the odds of 100 to 7 ken about each. Fan was not in request, but offers against her did not exceed 100 to 6. Just as the room was on the point of closing the owner of Captain Cross tree came in and backed his horse for upwards of 2004 ; the last bete booked were 1000 to 45 twice, the gentleman in question offering to go on at the same price. Huntsman's Daughter was • good deal inquired after, end backed at odds averaging 22 to 1. Despatch was sop. ported in the course of the afternoon to win some 5,0001. or 6,000 f. at 25 to 1, and Astrolabe, at a few points more, was invested upon to • like extent. Among the outsido division, Benazet end Buatzke were made the medium of occasional outlays at 40 to 1 and 50 to 1 respectively. Nothing was done on either ',the Chester Cup, City and Suburban, or Northamptonshire Stakes. For the One Thousand, Lady Elizabeth would again have found • friend at 3 to 1, but offers stepped . short at a pant less ; the same speculator, however, invested 1001. on " her ladyship" and Green Sleeve coupled. For the Two Thou sand Rosicrucian wore • healthier appearance, no more than 9 to 4 being offered against him, but although he was not banked outnght, 200 to 100 was taken about Sir J. Hawley's lot, while Green Sleeve and Blue Gown were supported coupled at 10 to 1. 501. was pt on nice at 6 to 1, and the backer would have increseed his investments, but could obtain no longer offer than sto 1.

Daisy continued to be a warm favourite, and at the clam 100 to 9 was taken and asked for, while 10 to 1 was the outside offer against him. Moose, Teeny. son, Tuseulanurn, and the Lamb were about equal favourites at 100 to 7 each, Chimney Sweep, Alcibiade, and Fan ooming next at 100 to 6 each. The whole of the home enumerated were well supported.

Mr. HALT, the hon. secretary, reported that the sub scriptions during the week amounted to 706/. he., including an anonymous donation of 3001. The total sum received by the committee up to the present time amounted to 3,6101., as compared with 2,8441. last week. Mr. Saunas, M.P. called attention to the letter of Messrs. Poatifes and Wood, Farringdon Works, Shoe. lane, printed in yesterday's Express. Under all these cir cumstances, acting in the public capacity they now did, and though be was quiet sure it was as painful to all of them se it was to him, he put it to them whether they should be doing their duty with the funds at their disposal if they did not withhold further relief until this matter was satisfactorily explained. The Rev. Mr. Canaan remarked that he some time ago made an application for a subscription to Messrs. Pontifez and Wood, but they refused on the ground that they were so disgusted with the strikes. The Rev. Semites HANSARD thought they should hear what the men had to say on the other aide. The Rev. Mr. ROWSELL said there were many dock labourers in St. George'sdn.the•FAst. and he was afraid they could not withhold their hands from relieving positive distress. Mr. RAVENBILL informed the committee of a rheum. stance which bad occurred in the pariah with which ho was connected. There being a number of bricklayers in the stoneyard, the superintendent proposed that the men should be employed in building a well round a portion of the yard instead of breaking stones, but the men abso lutely refused to go to work, and the matter was now under the consideration of the guardians. Mr. Coluurrr, poor-law inspector, confirmed Mr. Raven. bill's etatement, and stated that the men refused to work unless paid at • high rata of wages. The LORD MATOR—I suppose their feeling was that you were taking advantage of their necessities. Mr. Cokurrr said they were only required to lay 200 bricks a day, and when that was done they could go away. The ordinary number laid by bricklayers was 500. - The LORD MATOR said the rentinienta of Mr. Ramada were precisely those which be had expressed to his secre tar► only half an hour previously, and be intended to have made a ratement to the committee, but as Mr. Samuda had referred to the subject there was no necessity for him to do so. _ . _ - 14r.TEEwirrar. said that with regard to Mile-end Old town, the distress last year was nothing to what it was this year. He did not think that last year they bad spent over 1501. in the district, when this year they had spent about 1,0001., and none of the recipients had anything to do with the shipbuilding trade. Mr. BAMCDA said the distress in the Isle of Dogs was also very great, but it was mainly among persons con nected with shipbuilding, snd he thought anything which encouraged trades unions was greatly to be deprecated. The ultimate result of such combinations would be to paralyse Industry over the whole country, and to drive away the capital employed in mechanical operations. The Rev. Mr. ROWNELL remarked that if the committee retired the contributions would only fall into other hands. The Loco MAYOR said he did not think so ; people would wase to contribute. _ _ _ _ Mr. KENNEDY believed there was *great deal of distress in consequence of the general depression in trade, and altogether irrespective of striker. The Rev. Mr. Rowena. said the question then arose, can you discriminate The LORD MAYOR observed that the master painters there (at the Mansion-house) told him a man considered he did a day's work if he did two sides of • door and a shutter, wherein in the olden time that would have been done before breakfast. After some farther conversation, Mr. Cams/cove moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Mr. Roweetx., and unanimously adopted: —" That this committee adjourn till Wednesday Twat, at 3 o'clock, in order to be better advised on the subject of certain strike which seem to have taken place recently, and to tend to the aggravation of the existing distress." The committee then separated, withholding in the meantime further grants to the local committees. AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. —The week opened with a fine cold day, sunny at times, after a slight frost on the previous night. This is just the sort of weather the country wants and spring tillage is progressing moat favourably. Wind, B.S.W. thermometer 46 degrees; barometer, 30.23 inches. Tuesday morning was thick and threatening, rain at 10 am., and drizzling wet during the remainder of the da . On chalky soils field-work might be partially praoee with, but not on heavy land. Oar advises were as follows from the Wert Riding of York shire : " The past week has been dry and seasonable, and outdoor agricultural operations have been pushed forward under favourable circumstances. The wheat on the continues to be well spoken of, particu- M i t the heavy soils. The breadth sown is known to be greatly increased." From the East Riding it was remarked : " Weather continues very mild, and more like spring than winter. Farmers are now occupied in preparing the land for spring sowing, and all descriptions of spring grain are looked after for seed porpoise. The growing wheat plant promises well, and there is more than the usual acreage sown with wheat this season." From Lancashire, it was stated : " The weather has de cidedly improved ; and though there continues to be damp ness in the atmosphere, existing circumstances are favour able to the prosecution of agricultural spring work ; and, in a month's time, we shall doubtless find the English wheats in a state of dryness suitable to the miller, and sea ea they have never shown shun the period of har vest." Another account from the same county states : "The weather during the week has been mild, open, and altogether favourable for farm-work, field labour being rapidly proceeded with." From Norfolk, our advice' were to this effect " The weather dining the past week has been fine, and considerable psograr has been made with field-work." From Suffolk " Farmers are belly engaged with vane -sowing, for which the weather is very favourable." From Northumber bad it was observed : " The weather daring the past week has upon the whole been fine and mild for the time of the year, with westerly winds." From another part of Suffolk, it was written : " Since our last the weather baa been dry, and very favourable for field-work, and a considerable acreage of beans, peas, and barley has been put into the ground." Wednesday was a wet day, and field-work was completely stopped on most soils. From the west coast of Scotland it was stated : " The weather ham continued variable." Thursday was a fine, cheerful I day, and very suitable for the proven of spring tillage. Farmers were in most places very busy." Our addon from Suffolk ran: "We have bad a fine dry week, and farmers have commenced their work on the land." From Warwick. shire it was remarked : " Yesterday we had heavy rain, which Dated several hours ; this morning there was a sharp frost." Friday was a tolerably favourable day, after some heavy showers in the night. Our advises from the Best Riding of Yorkshire stated: "The weather ham bean sawn ally fine during thegreater part of the week. The primpedm for the next harvest an good. The young plant is reputed from all qu ar te rs am 100 ldm well, sad, in 000MIXIIIODOS of high an unusually [up breadth is laid down in wheat year." Saturday was a variable day, thick sad I gloomy at times, but fine at others ; and we fancy mess work would be done on light soils. Seed oats have been sewed freely during the week for sowing, and all sorts ef tur zeing a r ts have been changing hands in the aide& at full prices. Select sorts of barley an becoming scarce, and a snfficieacy of such may _ net be found.

Artier 41411, 23, pleaded guilty to an indictment which charged him with wilfully and maliciously breaking two panes of platellars, value 71., the property of Wil liam Keen and another. The prisoner, it appeared, bad bees In the marries of the prosecutors, but was discharged for drunkenness, and the malicious set appeared to have been committed in cense queries of the prosecutors not having given the prisoner •&• sum of sixpesoe to which be considered he wee en titled. He had also btlen twice before convicted of a simi ' lar offence, and was sentenced upon one occasion to twelve months' imprisonment. The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to eighteen months' hard labour, and at the expiration of his imprisonment to find two sureties in 251. each for his good behaviour for twelve months. The Common Serimuit at in the New Court, and die eed of a number cf came of uttering counterfeit coin. They were all of the ordinary character. THE POLICE COURT& ItARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mias Rosa Phillips, mailing at No. 19. Hill-street, Knightsbridge, appeared before Mr. Tyrwhitt to answer a summons for intim* riding in Rotten-row. Police-constable Henry May, 297 A, said that about 3 o'clo.k on the afternoon of the 13th inst. he saw the de fendant galloping her horse se fast as she could along Rot ten-row. He waited a short time and saw her come back at the same rate. Two constables held up their hands to stop her, but she took no notice, and went oL whipping her horse all the time. On the defendant stopping he took her name and address, when she denied furiously riding, said that the horse ran awaywith her, and that she had had no whip, but he had seen her whipping her horse. Several ladies and gentlemen bad complained of her conduct. The defendant denied having a whip. Police-constable William Carroll, 226 A, gave similar evidence to the other oonatsble, adding that the defendant Was going at the rate of 16 miles an hour, and although he called out to her to stop she took no notice. The defendant said that finding her horse restive she i took it home as soon as she could. _ The defendant's groom was called, and said that the horse ran away with the defendant, and that she had no whip at the time, he having both whips. May said the defendant had ridden in a similar manner the previous day, and was then complained of. }lr. Tyrwhitt said he was sorry to see a young lady in such a predicament, but be did not believe at the same time that her horse ran away with her as alleged. He believed she had ridden the horse at • fast rate, which might be amusing to her, but at the same time WSJ dan gerous to others, end she would therefore have to pay a hue of 40s. and costs. MURDER IN • LUNATIC ASYLUM. An inquest has been held at the Prestwich Asylum touching the death of Richard Nutiall Hudson, en Inmate of that esteblish pent, who was murdered by another inmate, named Patrick Gilroy, on Tnesday morning last. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Edward Robert Barker, the resident surgeon, that the deceased, who formerly carried on lousiness as a batter and barber, at Bury, was admitted to the asylum in July, 1853, and had remained in it since. He was rather inclined to be violent, and was so trea cherous that the ofticbila in the establishment had to exer cise great caution in approaching him. A day or two ago he received information that Dudson had been killed. It was jests short time before the patients took breakfast. He saw the deceased shortly after 7 o'clock, in • bedroom adjoin ing the dining-hall, to which he had been removed. He was quite dead. There was a comminuted fracture on the left side of his head, which was driven in ; there was also • severe wound on the right side of the head ; and in addi tion to those wounds the upper and lower jaws were smashed. He was told that the wounds were inflicted by an inmate named Patrick Gilroy, and that they were in flicted with an instrument called a " squeegee," which was used for scrubbing the rooms. (The instrument, which was produced, was similar in form to an ordinary large sweeping brush, but much heavier, known in nautical circles as "swabs," and are used by sailors for sweeping the decks of vessels.) The wounds were very severe, and the deceased must have died instantaneously, his brain being completely shattered. Gilroy had been in the house since 1867. Ho was a very irritable person, and could not answer rationally any . question. He was undoubtedly a person of unsound mud. Neither of the teen had ever been under restraint ; in fact, the inmates of that estab lishment ware not subjected to any restraint, He was unable to ascertain whether the deceased gave Gilroy spy provocation, but he supposed that he had, and that Gilroy, being a very excitable person, seized the " squeegee" and knocked him on the head. He afterwards spoke to Gilroy about the matter, but he could not give bin, a satisfactory answer why he struck the deceased, and merely murmured incoherently. He was undoubtedly of unsound mind, and was not, therefore, responsible for his actions. Gilroy was brought before the jury, end stated, in reply to Dr. Holland, that the dammed hit him first with a fender, and then he hit him with the " thing " he had in his hand. The coroner pointed out that if Gilroy hail been a man who was responsible for hi actions, it would have been a deer case of wilful murder; but the jury could only nay that the deceased died from injuries in fl icted upon him by Gilroy, who, being of unsound mind, was not responsible for his actions. Avardiot in accordance with the coroner's suggestion was recorded. &MUM BY CHILDREN. —Last night Dr. Lankester held an inquest at the Mori of Rustle Tavern, Owen's row, Islington, upon the of a boy named Victor , Verbeyst, aged 13 yenta, w o came to his death b y hanging. Mr..lh Verbeye, the father of the deceased, said he was • B44an, and bad been in London only a few years. Relived at 11 Ryden-crescent, Islington. His too was a very good boy, and on Wednesday last was working by his side at his business of a pocket-book maker. Re inquired of him when he should be allowed to go to school again, to which witness replied as soon as he could spare him. He went out of the workshop, and witness saw no more of him until he was called to open the door of the water closet, wherein he (deceased) was supposed to hare fallen asleep. He discovered him hanging by a cord. He was in a sitting position, quite dead. The cord was fastened to the handle of the door. Deceased had been reading some of the cheap literature of tho day—" The Boys of :gland," and other similar publications—and his (witness's) impreeelon was that he had been ":experircent int " and had ldlied himself accidentally. He could never keep his son from the books he bad spoken of. He was not very passionate, but slightly so. The Coroner said be hail known many owe where children had been killed through " eaima• ling "at hanging. Dr. Goddard, who was eill to the deceased, said he tried every proper remade to restore him, but without avail. He spoke sgainst the theory of death bell( tie result of an accident. The jury returned a verdict of Sideide while in a state of unsound mind," supposed through the reading of • certain class a literature.—On Sunday night, Edward Elkin, 15 years of age, son of a dairyman, living in Chien al Liverpool, committed =icicle by bangi ng h hintr ke lame can at present be assigned for the lath sot, except thathilfathu bad spoken to him sharply about two hours previously. ROBBERY OP THE CHANCELLOR OP THE DUCHY OP LANCASTIIL—A ndent sends us the fol lowing :—A few days prior to the re-assembling of parliament, Colonel Wilson Patten. the chancellor of the duchy, left Warrington for the purpose of relieving one of his colleagues in waiting upon her Majesty, at Osborne, for • few days. During his sojourn at Osborne, Colonel Patten received • message ruiring his attendance in Lon don, for which he immediately started. On his arrival et the terminus of the South- astern Railway, and while superintending the removal of his luggage, be was accosted by a person of gentlemanly appearance. He addressed Colonel Patten by name, shook hands with him, asked him how he was, and followed up the usual salutations by makifig inquiry Into the health of her Majesty, stating at the same time he supposed the colonel kid been to Osborne. The questions were rapidly put, and the manner of the person threw the colonel of his guard corm pletely. After • few more remarks with reference to the weather. the interview terminated, and CoL Patten after wards gist Me • cab, and, on prooeeding to consult his wag* taend, es his atter astonishment, that it bad been absereeled bees his pocket, and the chain to which it was ateashiti= cut, his interrogator at the railway station , amid the harry of hi interview with the =5, to purloin it. On the day following, CoL Patten we r isz th owg osborne, sad mentioned the eireamsence to the when her Majesty is said to have replied, " W Patten, I would strongly advise you never again to shake hands with any person you don't know." SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN CHESHIRE.-011 Satur day a shocking and fatal accident occurred at Alderlay, in Cheshire. Mr. George Holden, of the Polygon, at Cheet ham-hill, near Manchester, hir ed a horse and phaeton at Macclesfield, with the intention of driving to Aldetiey : He had with him two ladies ' one of whom was Mrs. Williams, sister-in-law of Mr. Alderman Berry, of Macclesfield, and the other Miss Stephenson, the daughter of a friend. On arriving at the top of Aldcrley Edge the horse took fright, galloping down the steep road into Alderley, so as to greatly alarm the occupants of the vehicle. On nearing the Trafford Arms hotel all control of the horse had been lest, and the animal ran with considerable forte against • lamp poet. The occupants of the phaeton were all thrown forward with the sudden shock into the turnpike read. Mrs. Williams alighted on hothead and died almost liely. Me.

Bnanronri, Fin. 21... A This market is rather quieter to-day. Less wool is clime ing hands, and there is little disposition to operate;) There is no change in prices. The quieter t•no of the Liverpool cotton market seems to impart a similar tow tq the worsted trade. But many apinums have of late ope, rated rather freely, and need not seek further supplies at present. There is a steady business doing in wonted yarns, but chiefly at late rates. Though opium:tit are still seeking to get higher rates, they find difficulty in dint* triune's at such rates. There is some alight buqrins doing in pieces for honio and the continent, although it is far below the avenge. The improvement is moat apparent in heavy goods, inch as camlets, lasting,.
