Mate/CFI:JOLT DTATH OP LIEUTENANT-COLONEL ILA.—It is our painful duty to record the death, the result of an accident, of Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph Clarke Childs, R.A., which melancholy event occurred on Sunday lest. The evidence taken at the inquest, which was held on Tuesday in the school-room, Dover Castle, will be found subjoined. Lieutenant-Colonel Childs was a very considerate officer, anti his urbanity and happy tempera- mint enikared him to the corps to which he belongml. There can be no doubt his lose will be severely felt. We are informed that one of his latest acts of kindness was to order that on Christmas-day all " defaulters " should be set at liberty, and a "clean book" made. The first witness called was William Henry Newoorne who said — I sin a captain in the Royal Artillery stationed at Dover Castle, and have known the deceased Joseph Clarke Childs for none years. He was a lieutenant-colonel in the Royal Artillery, and was stationed in Dover. He bad been upwards of twenty years in the service, and was nearly IV years of see. Witness last saw him alive on the 2:ith of December. when he (deceased) quitted the officers' 3111116 - 11:10111 at about twelve o'clock at night. Deceased wished the officers good night, or, to use his own words, "It was time to go to bed." His quarters lay on the right aide of the doorway, distant about thirty or forty penis. The night was very dark and hazy. The gaslights of the Castle barracks are always extinguished at eleven o'clock, which caused the barracks to be in great dark ness. About a quarter of au hour after deceased had quittsil the mess-room witness went out with Dr. Tel. ware to go to quarters. On arriving at the entrance to deceased's quarter., herd some goer. Hmitening forward, witness and the doctor found the groans to proceed from the bottom of the area close to the barrack entrance. 'Pro cured a light, and discovered the body lying on the area pavement. Witness, assisted by Lieutenant Howard, carried deceased to his bedroom, in his quarters. Dr. Tal w.uo,or attended him until five o'clock in the morning. The surgeon of the corm; attended afterwards till Sunday after noon. Witness noticed a bruise on the left eye, and the knuckles were also grazed. The railing in front of the barracks is very low, and over the spot were deceased fell there was a 1111116.1 opening through which a person might fall. Wheu the officers go to their quarters from the mess they generally bare to guess the distance without being able to see the way. It is necessary to leave the building to get to their quarters. Witness had known one or two cases when accidents nearly occurred in consequence of running up against the low railing. Charles Francis Talwassor, an assistant surgeon in the Royal Artillery, stationed at the Drop Redoubt. said—On the 2.5 th inst. I was in company with the deceased, dining in the officers' mess-room, at their quarters. I saw him leave the room about twelve o'clock. About five minutes afterwards I quitted the mess-room with Captain Newsome, and on proceeding to his quarters heard a groaning down the area of the officers' barracks. We procured a light, and found deceased at the bottom of the area, on the pavement. I asked him if he was very much hurt, and he said be was much shaken. I unlisted him to his quarters, where every mire was taken of him until he died on Sunday, about four o'clock in the afternoon. Vertlict—"Aoridental death."—Doer Chro. nu*. ALARMINC. AOCIDZNT AT A THEATRE.—On Wed nesday afternoon a very alarming accident occurred in the Royal Albert Theatre, Middleobrough. There was • crowded house of juveniles to witness the day performance of the splendid pantomime of Whittigoen and Ass Cat. The opening " went" as smoothly as ever until nearly the finish, when the lime light was being prepared for the transformation scene. While the audience were being en. tenanted with • dance, the begs oonnected with the lime light suddenly exploded. So loud was the report that many people were under the impression that a cannon bad been discharged in the pit. The actors and actresses ran off the stage, and the people in the boxes, pit, and gallery hurried out of the building. In • few momenta Mr. Pate. man, the stage manager, who was dressing for his part of clown, appeared at the footlights, 113141 endeavoured to pacify t h e terror-stricken audience. Ho stated that the chemical preparation for the lime light bad accidentally exploded, but no serious damage bad been done. Re added that in future, instead of using the lime light, they would use the magnesian wire, and thereby prevent • re currence of such an untimely accident as they had just witnessed. The performances were then proceeded with, and no further interruption occurred. In the meantime, however, great consternation prevailed outside the " house," and parents and relatives, hearing of the occur rence, rushed to the theatre to look after their children sad friends. The scene on the gallery stairs was alarm ing. little children being carried and pushed down by boys and girls ; but it is gratifying to state that, ovri to the prompt action of th e management. who quickly lent as instance, not one was hurt. On the stage, however, it was otherwise. The property man, Mr. Beat, who was ar ranging the lime light when the explosion occurred, had his clothes blown to rags, and was burnt about the facie and bead ; while one of the violinists in the orchestra sus tained slight injuries to his face, and saw his fiddle broken to pieces by the concussion. A report was immediately spread through the town that the theatre was on fire, and a great crowd speedily &rambled in Albert-street, but the tenth was soon made known, and the alarm speedily sub ided.—Nctecaslle Chronicle.

Most of the men taken on Tuesday an, or have been, in various militia regiment!, , and though rough-looking fellows, they had quite • mili tary bearing. One of them had a revolver in his posses sion when captured, and all of them had perenalca caps. The centre had a Fenian oath book. On Weduseday night the police, under Superintend. • BOW-STR.BET. A well-dressed, portly woman, of about 35 or 36 years of age, named Elizabeth Apses Mery Stephenson*, wee brought up in custody of Sergeant Spited, of the City Detective Force, charged with having forged a cheque for 951. upon the Bloomy branch of the - London and Westminster Bank, purporting to_ be signed by Mr. Archibald Scott Lawson of 31, Unsoin's-inn- fi elds, solicitor. Mr. Roy, of the firm of Roy and Cartwright, solicitors to the London sad Westminster Bank, conducted the pro secution ; and Mr. Buchanan, of Basinghellatreet, defended. Archibald Scott Lawson, solicitor, 31, Lineoln's-inn fields, said—The cheque produced was banded to me by the London and Westminster Bank, after they had paid it. I returned it to them, pronouncing it a forgery, the signs. tare notbeing in my own handwriting. I believe the cheque to have been filled up by the prisoner. Mrs. Stephenson, with the exception of the signature, which appears to be in the handwriting of John Collr, who is or was her servant. I know the prisoner. S he was a client of mine. Crceoexamined by Mr. Buchanan—l acted as solicitor and smarms:anis to Mrs. Stephenson and on one occasion I told John Collyer, who had left 'his mistier, that he might return to his duties. There was no further interest, in fact, towards Mrs. Stephenson, than that of a man wish ing to promote a person almost forlorn and helpless to a better position. I certainly went with the prisoner et Dover to take a house for • lady, a friend of hers. I have slept at that house, but there has never been any improper intimacy between us. I also once took her to the Lord Warden Hotel. I have certainly visited Mrs. Stephenson during her indisposition at her lodgings in Doughty-street. I emphatically deny having given her permission to fill up blank cheques and sign with my name. Nor should I give leave to any one elm for the same purpose. The last time I met her was Tuesday, the 17th of December. On that morning my clerk, who was with use at Dover, mum up to town by the first train. I was to come by the second. The servant came to me and asked me if I had any direc tions to give him. I will swear it was not the prisoner who came to me. I slept in one bedroom and she in another bedroom on the same fl oor. All the , bedrooms are on one floor. There are but two floors in the house. The prisoner—l said, " Archie, is there anything you want ?" He said, Tell Stokes (the clerk) to tall Mr. Britten (another clerk) to send a blank cheque ; then you fill up that cheque and pay the Dover tradesmen's bills." I afterwards met him in town and told him I had filled up the cheque for 951. and paid the bills, and then we went to the Grosvenor Hotel and slept there. Mr. Lawson—l deny ell that. Sir Thomas Henry—But then it must be denied in a form for which you can be held responsible. Mr. Lawson—l will deny it in any form you plasm. I mean, in any form that will reify the ends of substantial justice. flame no recollection that the prisoner sated me if I had any commend+ for London. Sir Thomas Henry—That won't do, and you as a solicitor ought to know better. Will you pledge your oath that she did not say so? Witness—To the beet of my recollection, and one can only speak to the best of one's recollection, she did not. The servant I distinctly recollect doing so. Crossammination continued—Witness was told by his cashier that the clerk (Stokes) had directed a blank cheque to be sent down. The prisoner did not tell witness that she had got a cheque for 951. She told him something shoot 951., but he thought that related to, and was part of, a sum of 1,6951., to which he underetood she was en titled from the lady already refined to. Knew that she had bills unpaid in Dover. She told him she had paid ell the bills. Ile knew that referred to bills supplied to the house taken in his name. Had been in the habit of making advances of money to her. Did not know whether she wanted him to give her a cheque. She told him she bad paid 141. for • quarter's rent, 251. to a wine merchant, end something to a jeweller. The wine had been drunk by her, by himeslf, and by guests. Not all of it, there was some left now. Some of the guests were invited by her and some by himself. Those he invited were previously known to her by my introduction. One was aclergyman. He had introduced her to him as Mrs. Stephenson—not as his wife, client, ward, or amanuensis. He had originally known her by being swot for to make her will when she was ill and supposed to be in extreme. The witness here observed that the cross-exszoination was evidently directed to show en illicit cameo/on be tween him and the reoner. He could prove that it was simply • pot connexion. Sir T. Henvy said the witness mistook the purpose of the erommaniniation, which was to show that she had authority to sign the cheque, and that elm applied the money to pay bills incarria on his behalf for goods sup plied to • hones taken in his mane. The Minus maid be denied the authority, bat he ad mitted that the goods (except the jewellery) were for their joint use ; and lie fully and sincerely believed that she had applied the money bothe payment of these seseniote. Sir Thomas Henry pressed the witness with same severity upon the question whether he thought himself justified in withholding those facts from the bank. The witness mid he gave the information as soon as be had the opportunity. Sir Thomas Henry o said it wee not wo. He had reburied the oblique as f orged, though he knew it was signed by the perms who had n, to say the least Of it, soejointly cm espying the hones batman his name, sad knew also that the applied to pay bills for goods which had bee n sfor ome benefit sin with her. s demean on points of detail, Sir Themes Henry said it was of no nee keeping up the ease any longer. It was clear the charge soul& sot be sus tained, and squally clear that the bank were authorised in debiting Mr. Lemma with the 951. Mr. Lawson—l am wining to pay It. Sir Themes Henry (to Mr. Roy) —I suppose that is all Ta i. went? M. Roy—Certainly. I mint observe that we gave her in eastody consequence of sommaniestions from Ms. laween's alert and brotherin-law. p ro Sir priThoems Henry—The bank have soled with parted Lemon was quitiwining that the 'large should he withdrawn.

Some of these men were ascertained to be in the works and others in bed. The constables were distributed in the locality of each house or the pert of the works where the delinquents were at work, but kept out of sight to avoid suspicion. They were all within hearing of whistle. The first man captured was one " Midele i l a gnn, who was taken from his work. After him ease David Berry, who was taken out of bed. His land lady attempted to make a noise, but was kept in quiet by threats of arrest. Two brothers, named Jots and Michael Whelan, and Patrick Coughlin, were afterwards captured and in the morning, whilst going to work, a sixth, named Thorns Macmabon, was apprehended. They all denied the charge when stated to them, and feigned astonishment. They were brought to the station at Merthyr very quietly, and very few persona knew of their arrest until after they had gone to the railway elation. Yesterday morning they were brought before Mr. Fowler on the charge of treason felony, which they all denied. Superin tendent Wrenn applied for • remand of the primers till Monday. Mr. Fowler said if he had any evidence that could be given to-day, he should like to has it. Mr. Wrenn said he had, and called Michael Keaton, who said he knew the prisoner Flynn. whom he . bad accompanied, on the invitation of Casey, one of the prisoners at Swansea, to a meeting on the mountain, where Doran and many others had assembled for drill. At that time they were disturbed by Inspector Howlett, and bad to run home by various routes over the hill. Mr. Fowler asked the prisoners whether they had any gues time to put to the witness. Flynn replied that it was beneath his dignity to hold conversation with a base informer, who would sell • man for • loaf of bread ; he hoped he should never see him again, for if be did he (meaning Keaton), would be • dead man before night. The prisoser continued to use violent and abusive tan - pugs until the magistrate expressed his surprise at ouch conduct. Flynn then said Beaton could not swear that he , was • Fenian. Prisoners were then remanded to Cardiff gaol till Monday. It is rumoured that Co ff ee, in custody at Swamis gaol, has turned informer. Till WO= ellthlth or AIMS AT COAL When the arms and ammunition were selected, put into the sick, and removed, the leader, addressing Mr. Thomas Alpert (who, and not his father, as it was first erroneously stated formed the third person attending the shop at the moment) said, " Now, sir, we intend to act fairly by you. We have put the revolvers in the sack in discriminately and without counting, but on the first op portunity I promise you I shall send you a statement of the numbeer of revolvers we have taken." By the second post on Tuesday afternoon, however, Mr. Alpert received a letter bearing the Cork postmark, which upon opening he found to he nothini lees than the document so cow , teously promised by his visitor. Having perused its con tents, Mr. Alport immediately placed the missive in the hands of Mr. Hamilton. resident magistrate. The letter stated that, agreeably to promise, the writer now begged to inform Mr. Alpert that the number of revolvers taken from him wee 63. The writer further expressed • hope that the rather unexpected visit of himself and con Realms did not cause Mr. Alpert any annoyance or occa sion him very Moos trouble, and trusting that Mr. Al port would have breakfast ready at their next visit, con cluded by strongly recommending for promoMn the con stable who WA st the opposite ide of the street on duty while the attack was being made. The letter was sign " Captain Mud," and was written in a fair hand, evidently withoutanyeffortatoonoselment. At first it wasthought the letter might have been a hoax of some wag or mischievously inclined person, as no doubt many of the flaming epistles lately published have been. But connecting circumstances dissipated this impression. Firstly it was the receipt of the letter itself brought clearly to Mr. Alpert's reoollee ties the promise of the writer, and secondly it Mates with what Mr. A ll port bellevesto be perfect accuracy the number of arms taken. It may be added that Mr. Al port, having arranged to send in • claim for compensation for the loss the revolvers, made a careful celoulation of the number taken, and is perfectly satis fi ed that the re turn given in the letter is correct, although be has mat in his return to the authorities at 60. The arms were of different capacities and qualities, ranging in value hem N. 10a. to 51.

They me n yews of sip or uporeeds, end are connected with the City by reddens. or insinmet, er both. Between sixty and seventy of her Majesty's servants belonging to the Royal mews at Pindieo were sworn in as special constables on Tuesday before the two county traten who sat during the whole of Tuesday in P7'ml: swearing in large bodies of men belonging to the General Poet-office, London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com pany, and many of the large firms in the aeighbonrhood. The swearing In is rapidly progreadng in other dis tricts of the metropolis, as well as in most of the prm cipel towns end cities of the kingdom. In the pariah of St. Paul Covent-garden, the swearing in continued yester day, and 1,214 have taken the oath. Mr. G. (stalk shank,Lieut.- lend of the 481 k Middlesex Volunteers, attended yesterday and made arrangements with the bench for an evening sitting at 8 o'clock for the pupae, of swearing in a imp body of the members of his corps. Lieutenant-Colonel William Nape, of her Majesty's army. formerly adjutant of the Queen's Westminsters, sad Major Charter, the present adjutant of that corps, have kindly offered their services, and are now actively in organiidng the forces, and arrangements; are con re d ted for drilling the members of that division, in compliance with the suggestion received from Lisatenint- Colooel Swart, A.R., the officer appointed by the govern ment to superintend the whole of the special constables. Oa Wednesday evening Lieutensat-Colonal *wart spent upwards of an hour in inspecting the headquarters (at Old Hummoms) of this division. Three gentlemen from Messrs. Coutts', the bankers of the *Bread, yesterday recei ved their appointments to command the members of that establishment who have been sworn in. WOOLWICH, THURSDAY NIGHT.—The swearing in of the whole of the arsenal artisans as special constables his had the effect of individually testing each man's alle giance to the crown. It has transpired that a number of Irish labourers refused to take the oath, and the matter has been ordered to be rigidly investigated with a view of ascertaining whether such refusal arises from disloyalty or rigineV with the Fenian movement. An opinion is en that the Fenton have accomplices in the arsenal who have furnished information on the pceition, contents, and assailabi li ty of the di ff erent stores, and which infiu• enced the Fenian in their recent intended attack. Great disquietude prevails at Erich in connexion with a large engineering firm employing a great many hands. A few days ago some Fenian disaffection was alleged to have been discovered amongst the Irish employes which led to the (discharge of a large number of Irish ; and since that time the police have been repeatedly celled out in great numbers daring the night in consequence of the discharged Irish having assumed a threatening attitude. Slit STAFFORD NORTNCOTZ ON nonagund. The Right Hon. the Secretaryof State forlndia at as chairman of the Devon Quarter Sessions on Wednesday, and in charging the grand jury the hon. baronet said : I think I may congratulate the county upon the general appearance of the calendar. There is no appearance of any unusual amount of crime, or anything to disturb us in our apprehensions as to the public peace in this part of England. There is, no doubt, a certain amount of un easiness in the country generally as to the condition of the public pe►ce, and even, as some persons say, of the public safety ; but I think you may satisfy yourselves that there is no reason whatever for anything like alarm. There are no doubt a very smell number of persons who have an object such as is very diffioult to define, and who are very recklessly proceeding in different parts of the country, especially in some of our larger towns, in a manner to cause considerable annoyance, and sometimes considerable damage to those age nst whom their efforts are directed. But I believe that I may say that the pro ceedings of those people are very well known, that there are abundant precautions taken against them, and that the confidence which the government has in the good feeling and loyalty of the whole population, with the most trifling and contemptible exceptions, is such that there is no cause for uneasiness or anxiety as to the condition of the country. If it were necessary, the government have that perfect confidence in the spirit of all clause that they would not shrink from calling for any exceptional Mea sures for the protection of the public peace. But the go vernment are perfectly satisfied that nothing of the sort is necessary—that the measures which have been taken of in viting special constables, in certain places,to come forward and give their auistanoe, in order to show what the feeling of the groat mass of the nation is, will be sufficient both to reassure and comfort all loyal and well dieposedpersons;and to show those who have any other designs that the great mass of the people are against them, and that they can have no hope of being able to do anything beyond isolated acts of mischief. It is most desirable that there should be • general feeling of confidence on the part of the people, and that there should be no disposition to attribute to any considerable number of our fellow-creatures designs or feel ings which certainly are not properly attributable to them. It would be • most serious misfortune for the idea to get abroad that general discontent and a general feeling of dis loyalty is prevailing in this country. It certainly is not the ease. All that we have to guard against are isolated, very foolish, and insensate efforts of • very small knot of persons, against whom adequate provisions have been taken. At the same time it is advisable, especially in large towns, that persons should be ready to come forward and give their assistance as special constables, or in say other manner, to prevent attacks being wads without any reason to be assigned for them, which may cause • great deal of annoyance, and even lead to more serious COnlie qaenaes. In the course of yesterday it was understood in the royal borough that the Mayor of Windsor, Mr. J. W. Wellman, had within the last few hours received a letter from an anonymous writer, warning him that at a certain specified time attempts would be made by Fenian to at tack two places in the town when ammunition was stored. One of them was laid to be the volunteer magaose , and the other a gunsmith's, in Peucod- street . Mean s were promptly taken to secure the safety of the arms and am munition at them establishments ; and in the mane of yesterday evening there was a private meeting et the ma gistrates to take any necessary steps for the safety of the public. Mr. G. H. Long, the magistrates' clerk, accord ingly, at the testiest of the mayor and justices, made ar rangements for swearing in a number of constables. In the evening at 7 o'clock, the Mayor (Mr. J. W. Wellman), Mr. W. R. Barrie, Captain Darby, and Messrs. J. Jones, Pearl, and Holderness, borough magistrates, together with kir. Long, attended in the Council Chamber of the Town-ha ll , for the purpose of swearing in the special con stables. A large number of the members of the Windsor Rifle Volunteer Corps and the Volunteer Fire Brigade at tended to be swam in, the volunteers marching to the place of meeting in a body, with the band playing " Rule Britannia." Captain the Hon. Leslie Ruthvsn, the com mandant of the Windsor corps, and Lientement =say Captain Evans, commandant of the Eta Osage Etas Corp*, the Revs. Stephen and Henry Hawkey. sod • number of influential residents were also prees.t The mayor having explained the reasons for aliing the mess. lug, Mr. G. Long stated that it haling been intimated to the police that attempts would he made upon the Windsor volunteer depot, the gunsmith's, end the gas works, the magistrates, in view of what was taking Mass all over the country, lad determined totake wish nursers as would preserve the public pesos.

She fell, and the orbs of murder from the inmates brought Police-con stable Clarke, 254 K, to the spot, and as he approached the house he saw the prisoner throw his wife from the door into the street. She fell, and was insensible for some time afterwards. Patrick Rogers, a boy. said that the complainant wee his grandmother, and that he saw the assault on her.

LACE AND HOSIERY. Norrixcwix, JAN. 1. — The past has been again almost a holiday week at the warehoused, partly from the paucity of business usual at this season. There is rather a better feeling in the lace trade, as prices seem more and more to be settling down at their normal leveL There is perhaps a little more inquiry for goods, though not much real business, buyers still feel ing. their way cautiously.—ln hosiery goods trade is very quiet, as the impression prevail. that prices must come down yet lower ; orders are held back in consequence, both for the home and foreign markets.—Nottinyham Journal.

There is an average attend ance on 'change, but gentlemen appear merely to congra tulate one another on the arrival of the new year. There has been DOM slight inquiry for wool of the liner descrip tions, but few transactions have taken place. No change can be reported in prices. There is little or nothing doing in worsted yarns ; the holidays at home and on the continent have put an end to business for the present. The movements of export merchants of in are confined for the most part the making quiry with regard to prices, which are about the same as last week. he piece trade continues quiet. Manufac turers are still engaged in stuk-taking, and are not anxious about burliness. The home sadAmerioanmerchmate are doing nothing. There is a little more inquiry on the part of foreign honors, and • few orders have been placed to-day. Prices seem to have settled down to • fixed point; at any rate, manufacturers, in the hope of arrest mg it, show a determination to make a stand against the long tendency downwards, and many have set their faoea steadfastly against low offers made.

Mary Brodrick, a widow. living in Moorceoft-street, said that the deceased, who way believed to be about thirty-six years of age, and Was a slubbing.tenter, lodged with her. On Christmas-day wit. nem left her house at about a quarter or half-past two o'clock. When she returned, about two hours afterwards. she found her house full of people. In consequence of what her daughter said, witness went upstairs, and found Mary Haunter there. She was lying on the door, and the prisoner was supporting her with one of his arms under her neck. She was covered with blood, and there was blood on the floor. Witness asked the prisoner what made him do it. He replied, " I have done it ; she is mine and I will die for her." He bad many times told witness that the deceased had promise( to be his wife, but had afterwards refused him. Bridget Brodrick, the daughter of the first witness, re peated the evidence which she gave before the coroner's inquest as to the prisoner coming to the house on Christ mas afternoon, and murdering the deceased with the poker which was produced. The prisoner asked this witness , whether she recollected Mary Haunter bringing hints paper with the portraits of Allen, Gould, Larkin, and Belly. Witness replied that she recollected that paper, but the fourth portrait was that of Brett, not of Kelly. When she showed Ishii that paper, the prisoner said, " Yee, you have Allen, and Gould, and Larkin, and you are " fender of them than of me." Mr. Hall, the magistrate clerk, asked witness if she recollected the prisoner, at any time when he, came to the house, pressing Hamner about marriage, or anything of that kind.
