E. Dowse, at Marsden. A gamekeeper named Schofield and another man said that on the 2Uth of August they saw the defendant on the moors at Buckstones, near the boundary. He had a dog with him, and called out to it, " Hey, Raglan." He was a mile from the highway, but they did not get to him until he was in the road. The dog was • retriever and setter, half-bred. The man had no gun with him. Defendant denied that he had been in search of game. He was one of • party of twelve who went in • con veyance to Buckstones, and he went to the highest point of the moor, whilst most of the others went to the reservoirs. He did not know that the dog was coming with him until he had got a quarter of a mile on the way, and then he gave him his " billycock" hat to carry, and it was carrying the hat when he met the gamekeeper. He called a witness who corroborated this statement, Mr. Wright Mellor, the chairman, asked if the gamekeeper preaseed the case. The keeper said he did. Mr. Beau mont (the other magistrate) remarked that defendant was not in pursuit of game in the meaning of the act. Police-sergeant Sedgwick informed the bench that the de fendant was as respectable a man as any in Lockwood. Mr. Wright Mellor said his opinion really was that there was no intent to search for game. Mr. Beaumont said he did not think there was any pursuit of game in the mean ing of the act. Mr. Wright Mellor suggested that the case should be withdrawn. The gamekeeper maintained silence. Mr. Wright Mellor : I suppose you have no ob kection to withdraw it on payment of expenses? Game eeper: No. The defendant was then ordered to pay 14s. the expenses. • • • The victims of the Kennington tragedy were buried yesterday. The streets went almost impassable on amount of the crowds. Mail an itlilitarg. PORTSMOUTH, AUGUST M. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty con cluded their official visit to Portsmouth last evening, and left at an early hour this morning for Portland, in the En chantress, Staff-Commander J. E. Petley, the Black Eagle steam yacht, Staff-Commander Whillier, being in attendance. Their lordships' inspection has comprehended • wider field than usual, and has occupied a greater length of time ; but the naval establishment at this port is so large in its dimensions and various in its department that the time allotted, after all, permits of only a cursory examination, and it is not easy to see what are the practical advantages attending this annual visit. Something may, perhaps, be said on the score of custom, but an impression certainly prevails here that, so far as the administration of the navy is con. oerned, the custom might very well be dispensed with, and that it serves very little purpose except to provide their lordships with • pleasant holiday tour after the fatigues of ' a parliamentary session. The Wivern, 4, iron screw turret ship, Captain H. T. Burgoyne, riled last evening to join the Channel squadron at Portland. -- TheWiterwitch, 2, hydraulic armour-plated gunboat, Commander P. R. Sharpe, made another trial of her speed at the measured mile in Stokes' Bay, to-day. It is, how ever, probable that she will share the fate of her twin mew competitors, and be also oondemned as a seagoing vassal, for, so far as appearances go, she appears to be quite as ill-adapted to ercounter heavy weather at sea as they are, and all three may be added to the heavy list of costly hauls. . . . The Crocodile, 3, one of the new iron troopships, de signed for the Indian service, was undocked thu morning, and will shortly be ready for sea. CHATHAM, AUGUST 28. The screw steamer Midge arrived in the harbour this morning from the Thames, with the first portion of the machinery for the unarmoured screw corvette Blanche, 6, 350-horse power, which is being manufactured by Mesas. Ravenbill and Co. The Blanche is to be brought forward for conunbudol, and will shortly be placed in dock, there to be completed fur sea. The depot of the 2nd battalion of the 22nd Regiment, under the command of Captain J. W. Tre►or, having been Inspected by Major-General F. Murray, received orders this morning to proceed from this garrison by the 7 p.m. train to-day to Gravesend, there to embark on baud the steamer Earl of Percy, for Newcastle, to await the snivel of the head-quarters and service companies from the Mau ritius. This morning Deputy Inapector•General of Hospitals R. Bowen, who has been appointed principal medical officer at this garrison, commenced the duties of his appointment. CRICKET. NORFOLK V.

Sir Robert Phil!imam.) MARTIN REV. A. H. MACRONOCHIR.-RITUALISM AT BT. mama's, HOLBORN. This cane came before the court on a special application of an important character, as to the hearing in October of the question raised respecting the elevation of the sacred elements and the use of lights and incense in the com munion service. The point on the resent occasion, which is of considerable interest to both aided, was the constitu tion of the court on the hearing, the present dean, Sir Robert Phillitnore, having been counsel in the case for the defendant, the incumbent of St. Alban's, Melba.). The Dean of the Arches now gave the following We rner t have oonsidered the application made to me yesterday by the counsel for the party proeeedcd against in the case of the off ce of the judge promoted by Martin against Mackonoehie. I have decided not to accede to that application, but to appoint two surrootee, namely, the ✓iCar-Oeneral of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Char cellor of the &mese Rochester, to bear this case on the days which have been already fixed. Ido not think that the sections 13 and 15 of the 3rd and 4th Vic., cap. 86, commonly called " lue Clergy Discipline Act," do affect the general power conferred on m• by the patent of ap pointing tempers ; and the circumstances of the case are so peculiar that I consider myself, in the present instance, justified in availing myself of this power. I therefore reject the application which has been made to me to hear this cause myself, with or without auessors. The defendant, if he consider himself, or be advised by counsel that he is, aggrieved by this decishm, may appeer unfer protest before the judges to whom I have delegated my jurisdiction on this occasion, and the vali dity of the objection raised in the protest will be ulti mately decided by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. COURT OF ADMIRALTY.-AUGUST 28. THIS GUAM EASTERN STEAMSHIP. The case of the Great Eastern steamship came on 'or hearing to-day, on the question of wages, and for damages to the men consequent on their dismissal when the vessel was arrested at Liverpool. Mr. Vernon Lushington, as counsel for the crew, about 300 in number, asked for • reference, to escertain the amount to be awarded as &marls. The actual amount due for wages was inconsiderable, but the important question was the damages. Mr. Brett, for the Gre-t Eastern Company, opposed the application. He had denied the jurisdiction of the court before the late judge, and his 10-dship had drawn up a judgment, which was read to the proctors vben he was confined by illness, and he had decided in favour of the crew, and the only question was the amount to be awarded. Mr. Brett said he should appeal to the Judici%l Corn. mittee on the question, which was most important. Mr. Vernon Isishington begged the covet to allow the reference, for the sake of the poor men who were still at Liverpool, as if the matter went over there would be a denial of ju stice. Sir Robert Phillimore considered the case of import ance, and took time to consider the course he should adopt in the matter. SHERIFFS' COURT.—Auousr 28. (Before Mr. Berjeant Wheeler.) HILTON AND ANOTHER V. THE WOOLWICH ISTZAN PACKET COMPANY.—COLLISION. This action was brought to recover for damage caused to a boat which was hanging to the 'tern of the plaintiff's barge Alice, by the defendants' steamer Sybil.

The men in the barge were hailed to haul the boat up, and it was stated that they were doing so, when the steamer came on and jammed the boat, and occ asioned the damage in question. It was stated that there was no one at the tiller, the men being at the oars ; and is was urged that if the steamer had eased her engines earlier, instead of endeavouring to pass through a somewhat narrow passage between a barge and a ballast dredger, the mischief would have been averted. . . Oil the part of the defendants it was contended that the plaintiffs' men had been guilty # negligence in not haul ing the boat up soon enough when they were bailed to do so ; that they were also to blame in not having some one at the tiller to put it over, which would also have pre vented the damage ; that the steamer was slopped, and her engines reversed; and that the mishap was caused by the back water acting on the boat against the tiller. His Honour said the steamer had the means of stopping, and when she did stop it was too late to prevent the damage. He did not think that there was evidence of contributory neglect on the part of the plaintiffs' men. The verdict would be for the plaintiffs. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTON CIRCUIT. vzspooL, Aro. 28. CROWN Courr.—(Betere Chief Justice Dori lL) ALLEGED CHILD NVEIDEB. A woman about 22 years of age, named Ann Quinn, was indicted for the wilful murder of her newly.born female child at Upholland, on the 4th of August. Another count charged her with concealment of the birth of the child. Torso prosecuted ; and Mr. Pope, at the request of his lordship, defended the prisoner. Some months ago the prisoner, who is an Irish girl, entered the service of Mrs. Holland, the wife of a collier, living in Upholland, near Wigan, and after remaining in her service for two et three months she left, being imme diately afterwards engaged at the house of George Makinson, fanner, in the same village. 'When she came Mrs. Makin son observed her figure was bulky, Indicating pregnancy. She, however, did not refer to the subject, and nothing was said ab out the matter by either party. About has-put 11 o'clock on Saturday, the 3rd August, the pri soner went to bed, and Mrs. Dickinson stayed down stairs to complete some washing. Whilst she was engaged in her work she heard the prisoner come down stairs. The prisoner entered the kitchen, and said to Mrs. Makinson, " Are you still up r Mrs. Makinson asked her where she was going, and she replied that she was going into the yard. She returned and went to bed again. Mrs. Makin. so r suspected something, and abe thereupon went up stairs and listened at the priooner's be iroom door. She heard the prisoner groaning and tossing in the bed, and she therefore entered and asked what was the matter. The prisoner said she was suffering from pain in her stomach, and Mrs. Makinaon said, "Now, are you not in =et?, went jhe Iris: :Le e r te i n k it n it moat strougly. Mn. andthe prisoner again went into the yard, but did not return as before. Mrs. Makinson ca lled her ; she did not answer, and Mrs. Makinson went to bed. On the following morning the prisoner had every appmrance of having been de livered of a child, and • body was subsequently discovered in a manure tank in the yard. The prisoner then ad mitted having given birth to a child, which, she said, was stillborn. Being dead she put it in the manure tank. On the infant being examined by a surgeon, he was of opinion from what be saw that the child was born alive, and had breathed on being put into the tank. The surgeon, in answer to Mr. Pope, said the child might be suffocated during the delivery. The prisoner was found Guilty of concealment of birth, and Acquitted on the charge of murder. She was sen tenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labour. (Before Mr. C. Monk, Q.C.) Charles Young, wbo was found guilty on Saturday of havingae fiv e at Ines-in-Mackerfield, on the,l9th July, unlawfully spikes across the London and North-Western ftailway,was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. This terminated the criminal business of the assizes. Nun PRIUS Couar.—(Before Mr. Justice Smith and a Special Jury.) CROPPER AND ANOTHER N. COOK AND ANOTHER. The plainti ff s in this case were Messrs. J. W. Cropper and Maurice Williams, trustees on the bankrupt estate of Mess-s. Hodson, Mather and Co., and the defendants, Messrs. Bradbury and Cook, woolbroken , Liverpool, and the action was brought to recover the sum of 1,880/. 14s. due to the estate. Mr. Qualm, Q.C., and Mr. R. G. Williams were for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Attorney-General James, Q.C., M.P., aril Mr. Herschel for the defendants. In November, 1863, the defendants, as broken for Messrs. Hodson, Mather, and Ca, purchased • quan tity of wool on their account, and the statement of the sales showed that the defendants were in debted to the estate in the amount named, and there could be no doubt with respect to the transaction, but the question arose whether upon their own account they could set that off by a claim arudng out of another transaction. The defendants, in August, 1864, purchaaed from Messrs. Rodochanaki, Sons, and Co., a cargo of wool to arrive by the Stamboul, and in the sold note sent to Messrs. Hod son, Mather, and Co., the names of their principals ap peared, but in the bought note sent to the sellers the names of the principals were not mentioned, the effect of this being that in the former case the brokers were not person ally liable, but in the latter they were. Before the wool which was purchased in August arrived, Messrs. Hodson, Mather, and Co. had suspended payment, and the wool was sold by the defendants at a loos of 2,100/., and the 1,800/. which they owed to the estate they paid to Messrs. Rodochsnaki and Co., to whom they were person ally responsible. It was alleged for the plaintiffs that the two accounts should be separately stated, and the wool purchased from Messrs. Rodcohanaki and Co. should have been sold, and that the sellers should have ranked upon the estate of Messrs. Hodson, Mather, and Co. with the other creditors for the difference between the contract price and the price at which the wool was sold. The jury had to decide whether the defendants had re ceived authority from Messrs. Bodeen, Mather, and Co. to render themselves responsible on the bought note ; and it was contended for the defence that there was a wen known practice in the wool trade in Liverpool by which the broker should give the name of his prin cipal or make himself personally liable, as he chose. In reply to this, the plaintiffs urged that such • custom could not set aside the bought note sent in to Messrs. Hodson, Mather, and Co., which was the contract between them and Messrs. Rodochanaki, &ma, and 00. It was also mentioaad as a minor feature in the plaintiffs' cam that the defendants had taken over 900 Wes of the wool on their own account at ls. per lb. in December, 1864, of which they afterwards sold 810 at • higher prim in February, IMS. Tim jury found for the defendants, sod leave wee riven to the plaintiffs to move. THE POLICE COURT& BOW-STREET. John Greenwood, aboWiloriipc;ra of age, was charged with attempting to steal& watch from a gentleman In High Holborn. Mr. Fallon, the prosecutor, said that the prisoner IMMO up to him in High Holborn on Saturday and made a snatch at his watch guard, breaking away a piece of the chain, but leaving the watch in his pocket. Witness chased him as tar as Newton-street. but there lost sight of him. He after wards gave information to the police. Police-constable Dowdell, 173 F, said that he appre hended the prisoner from the description given by the pro recntor, who on seeing him at once identified him. Another gentleman bad been robbed of his watch on the same dal at about the rme spot, and it was suspected that the pri soner was the thief. Sergeant Aarell said that the prisoner had been a thief from childhood. Young as he was, he bad already spent more than ten years in prison. The prisoner was committed for triaL _ _ I[ABLBOROIIGF-BTBSST. John William, a ragged fellow, described as a vendor of groundael, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with begging and assaulting Mr. Janus Godley, compositor and press reader, residing at 1, Tottenham-court-road. Mr. Godley was taking a walk with his daughter on Tuesday evening, when the prisoner followed him and im pel linen* asked him for money. Mr. Godley told the prisoner to go away of be would hand him over to a con stable, upon which the priamier said that if he was given in charge it should be for something, and tucked up his cuffs, and putting himself into a fighting attitude, aimed a blow at Mr. Godley, who staggered back and avoided it. The prisoner afterwards made off, but Mr. Godley, determined not to let him escape, followed him, and seized hi n for the purpore of detaining him till the arrival of • constable, upon which the prisoner struck and /doted him. The prisoner was then given into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was clear what sort of a fellow the prisoner was. He importuned persons for alms, and if he did not succeed in getting them resorted to violence. The prisoner would be committed for two months with bard labour. Ellen Price, • young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly, and assault ing police-constable M'Cormack, 158 D. The prisoner was taken to the police-station, and while M'Cormack was charging her with being drunk and dis orderly, she gave him a violent blow on the chest and spat in his face. Mr. Tyrwhitt tined the prisoner 20a., or 14 days. THE TAFF YALE RAILWAY. On Tuesday the ordinary half-yearly meeting of the Taff Vale Railway Company was held at Bristol ; Mr. Jaime POOLE, chairman of the company, was in the chair. The CHAIRMEN, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed his regret at the f►lling off in the dividend, which he said was not owing to any fault on the part of the directors, and his confidence that there would be an improved state of things in the current half-year. After a discussion the report was adopted. GREAT WESTERN AND BRENTPORD RAILWAY The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the offices, No. 5, Westminster-chambers, Victoria street, Wes muster, yesterday afternoon ; Mr. Pzrzis DAVIT, chairman, in the chair. The report of the directors stated that the traffic in general goods daring the last six months exhibited • slight diminution compared with the corresponding period of last year, but the directors were enabled to congra;ulate the shareholders upon such an increase in the coal traffic as would enable them to recommend an improved dividend. The individual influence that the directors had been enabled to exercise in the coal trade had largely tended to produce this result, and they suggested to the shareholders, that each one of them should use his interest in inducing traffic to be passed over the line. The distrust upon the mind of the public with recard to railway debentures bad not abated, andnotvrithatanding the solid basis of the security upon which the debenture debt of this company rested, the board had been obliged to advance the rate of interest. The average rate of interest now paid was 4 j per cent. ; for the half leer ended June 30th, 1866 it was 4i per cent. Upon the subject of debentures the directors de sired to again impress upon the shareholders the very satis factory nature of the security upon which debenture holders in this company might rely . The balance to the credit of revenue account, after bringing into account the charges for the half-year, was 2,9801. 3e. Bd. Upon this sum the preference shareholders bad • first claim of 1,7271. for the dividend, upon their shares, and the directors recommended that the balance 1,253/. 3s. BcL should be applied to the payment of a dividend at the rate of 24 per cent. per annum upon the ordinary shares, which would leave the sum of 511. 3s. 9d. to be carried forward to the next account. - 11pna the tuotian of the Outman, etoonded by Mr. H. Mimosa, the report and amounts were adopted. The dividend recommended by the directors was de clared. Mr. W. blades (of the firm of Mosta. and Gifford) woe elected auditor in the place of his father, who had died since the last meeting of the company ; and the proceed up concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman. COCKERMOVIII, KEDWICE, AND PENSITH RAIL WAT.—The directors' report for the half-year ended July 31st, states that the receipts on the revenue account for the half-year were 13,5801. Os. 3d., and the expenditure, 8,160/. 11.. 6d. After paying interest on debentures, &a, the sum of 292/1. Is. 2& remains available for dividend. Out of this the directors propose to declare • dividend at the rate of 24 per cent. per annum, lees income-tax, and to carry the balance of W. Is. 2d. to next account. LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAT.—The half yearly meeting of the proprietors was held at Lancaster on Tuesday ; Mr. E. \V. Hagen ;weeded. The chairman, in moving that a dividend at the rate of 9f per cent. upon the consolidated stock of the company be declared, said that although it was somewhat less than in former cor responding periods, he thongt the shareholders had no reason to be dissatisfied, when they bore in mind the con. dition into which some other lines had fallen. He con sidered that the London and North-Western Company, to whom the Lancaster and Carlisle was leased, had managed . their affairs admirably, and be had every confidence in the lease. Mr. W. Jackson seconded the motion, which was carried. It was also resolved that a dividend of 4i per cent. upon the preference stook be declared. Mr. W. N. Hodgson, Mr. W. Birley, and Mr. T. E. Bolden were re-elected directors; and Mr. H. Crosfield was re elected an auditor. STRATFORD-UPON-AVON RAILWAY.—The report of the directors states that there has been a decrease of 1661. in the passenger traffic as compared with the corre sponding half of 1866, while in the goods and parcels traffic there has been an increase of 731., leaving • net decrease of 931. The balance available for dividend on the ordinary shares amounts to 1,9501., and will admit of • dividend of 7a. 9d. per share. The dividend for the cone spending half-year of 1966 amounted to Bs. per share. The capital account shows that 106,018/. bas been expended. IMPRISONMSNT OF A CARELESS ENGINE-DRIVES. —At Kilmarnoch, before the sheriff and • jury, David Moir, an engine -driver lately in the employment of the Glasgow and South Western Railway Company, was charged with culpable neglect of duty on the 22nd May last, whereby he ran the locomotive of which he was in charge into an excursion train at the Dairy Junction, seriously injuring • number of the passengers. It appears that on the morning of the day mentioned, an excursion train left Ayr for Glasgow ; and, according to previous ar rangement, was delayed at Miry Junction, that the passengers' tickets might be then collected. A regular train, of which the accused was driver, left Ayr about half-an-hour afterwards. For the protection of the former train • danger-signal was exhibited at the signal-station, about 303 yards from where the carriages were standing ; but the accused, failing to bring his engine to a stand, according to the regulations of the company, ran past the signal and came into collision with the excursion train. The prisoner in his declaration ad mitted having transgressed the rules of the company, but stated that be had failed to come to • stand at the signal, because he had not anticipated any obstruction, and lie cause the signalman was in the habit of alloying the danger signal to remain longer than was necessary, to save himself the trouble of removing it. He had abut off the steam before seeing the signal, and at the usual pl. e, so as to stop at the junction. Special defenies were lodged (I) That the distant signal was not so placed as tote visible to him at • distance sufficient to make him bring his train ton dead stand before reaching it ; and, 2—That the acci dent occurred because the person in charge of the excur sion train, while it was obstructed in its journey, failed to send back a red flag 750 yards to prevent the panel's engine approaching. For the prosecution, the company's instructiorui to their enginemen were produced, expli citly stating that " in approaching any junction, kc., when the danger signal is shown from the distant signal, the enginetunn shall bring his train to a dead stand before reaching it," and that "every engineman is specially directed to regulate the speed of his engine, so as to com ply with this regulation." It was shown in e'idence that the accused, instead of regulating the speed of his engine, so as to come to a stand opposite the signal if necessary, went so fast before coming in sight of the danger signal as to be unable to do so. It was further shown that in a case such as the one in question, it was not the duty of the person in *llama the train lying withi n th e s t a ti on to send back • red tag, the danger-sipal being regarded as perfectly sufficient. The jury unanimously returned • verdict of guilty, with a recommendation to leniency, on account of the prisoner's good character and reputation for steadiness and carefulness during nearly twenty years' service. The sheriff complied with the recommendation, and sentenced Moir to three months' imprisonment. SCRIM V. 7111 WORLD. In order that Lockyer might have the full benefit of the three days' " takings," Messrs. Miller and Bainbridge on Tuesday arranged for two elevens to enter on a fresh match at the close of the former one, under the above somewhat pretentious title. and accordingly, at half-past one, on the same wickets, Mr. E. M. Grace and Tom Hearne began the batting for England, and a sorry time the bowling of Surrey (including Southerton) had of it. Dr. Grace put together 115, and this time Hearne made a good 47. They played on till a quarter past six, when the stumps were drawn. Tax Ex ezrorrtott TO ABYSSINIA. —No fewer than fifteen screw steamers have been placed under government survey in Liverpool for the transport of troops to Abys sinia. Of the fifteen steamers five it is said have been accepted by the government. The following are the names of the vessels chartered and under sury :—City of Dublin, Bosphorus, City of Manchester, France, The Queen, England, Helvetia, Hector, Carolina, Pacific, Lybia, Peruvian, Golden Fleece, Mauritius, and California. All these vessels, especially those belonging to the National Steam-ship Company, have a splendid carrying capacity for troops, the ventilation and room being far superior to any transport in the government service. The vessels after survey will go round to some of the government porta for mat:rid. THE ALTON MURDER. —The Hants Independent of yesterday, speaking of the young man charged with the Alton murder, when the coroner's jury brought in a verdict of wilful murder against him, says:—" The pri soner did not betray the least sign of emotion at hearing this result, and was thereupon taken out of the room still in custody. Throughout the inquest he sat on a sofa near to and just behind the coroner, and maintained a most stolid indifference, except that he occasionally appeared very thoughtful, and when he heard the witness Gates describe the sickening details of finding portions of the body he placed his right hand, which generally he rested on his knee supporting his chin, over his eyes. He appeared to be suffering some nervous emotion, as even has fingers were tremulous and the perspiration was visible on his face. His appearance has somewhat altered since he has been in custody, his face, the main features of which are plainly marked, beginning to sink, and his nose, which is thin and somewhat long, stand ing out more than usually prominent. Looking at him generally, his head presents a low intellectual type, it being long, with but little brain power, the forehead and upper portion, of the skull being depressed, thus giving him a more idiotic than intelligent appearance. After the inquisition had been signed by the jurors, the witnesses were bound over to prosecute, and the inquiry terminated at nine o'clock last evening. His demeanour, however, and general history does not seem to warrant • trace of idiocy or insanity. He appeared very much disturbed by the groans and remarks of the people who gathered outside the place of inquiry —the Duke's Head Inn. He has made • statement to the police, which has been taken down in writing, but it does not admit his guilt." HASTY BURIAL OP AN UNKNOWN PERSON. On Tuesday morning, about 7 o'clock, a boy named W. H. Gill went to the Two Coves, under the Plymouth Hoe, for the purpose of bathing, and while there saw something floating in the water, which proved to be the body of a woman, The boy then got a boat, and with the emistanoe of a waterman towed the body on shore, when it was delivered over to Mr. King, the town corporal. An bequest was held the same afternoon at the Guildhall, when Mr. King • .id he had examined the body, but found we marks of violence. The body appeared to be that of a married woman in humble circumstances, about 30 years of age, flit. 2in. in height, with dark brown hair, and • countenance bronzed by exposure. Bhewore a dark woollen skirt, with black and white striped Garibaldi, white stock ings (nearly new), cloth boots, and white stays. There was • pocket in the clothes, but nothing was found in it. The clothing was not marked. There her been no outer dress or bonnet found with the body, which appeared to have been in the water only • few hours. The jury , after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Found drowned." The coroner said that as no one had identified the body at the time when the jury returned their verdict he thought it his duty, as the place around the dead-house was so densely populated, to make an order for the imme diate interment of the body. THE RECENT COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT ST. HILEN'IL—An adjourned inquest touching this catastrophe was held yesterday at Haydock before the district coroner, Mr. C. E. Driffield. Several gentlemen connected with the management and inspection of co ll ieries were present, besides one or two legal gentlemen, to watch the case on behalf of the proprietors. A plan of the pit was shown, describing the workings up to the time of the accident, and witnesses were examined as to the general ventilation of the pit and the principles upon which it was worked. Nothing was elicited to prove any neglect or individual carelessness up to the despatch of our parcel. The inquiry was to be resumed another day. HEALTH RESTORED EY Dl7 BARRY'.

The Chairman, in moving its adoption, referred to the falling off in the passenger traffic, which be attributed to the disinclination of a large number of persons to travel on the line to Ascot, in consequence of the accident which took place about two years ago. He regretted that they could not come to mare satisfactory arrangements with the Lon don and South Western. The directors were now and always had bass doing their utmost to obtain the beat possible terms from that company, but they had not met with much encouragement. The report was adopted, and the dividend recommended declared.

THE RIVAL SEA SERPENTS. --SOdlUl Point and Chicago are rivals in offe • sea-serpent attractions to visitors. Lake Michigan and Lke Ontario each bouts its serpent—or let us rather say, to coin a timely alliter• tion—its lake leviathan. Chimp, espousing the cause of the Michigan monster, says it le forty-five feet long and marvellous to behold ; Salim Point avers the Ontario wonder is "thirty feet long," and as big round as " a man's body," or as the liberty pole, which is of those dimensions." The Chicago people, who of coarse scorn Sodus Point as a rival watering place, say their own monstrosity is the bigger— but then they are lees definite in the description of it, at prese nt it being apparently a sort of marine " What is it ? ' On the contrary, Sodus tells us definitely that five men in a boat saw the Ontario serpent, with its head elevated "several feet above the water," and its " hugs form entirely visible near the surface." It plunged as they rowed for it and disappeared but it " resembled, as it lay on the water, the liberty Pole" of Big Sodus. Everybody who knows Big Sodus liberty pole knows what that means.
