I h l P' P IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY, Nov. 29. IN the House of Commoxs, yesterday, Mr. Jaom BRIGHT took the oaths and his seat for Man chester. Mr. New ososrm called attention to a statement made by Mr. Layard in the Abyssinian debate, that Dr. Beke had falsely charged Mr. Raman with having embezzled the money of the govern ment. This statement, he said, was calculated to do Dr. Beke a great injury, and he read extracts from Dr. Beke's book with a view of showing that the accusation was groundless. On the order of the day for going into committee of supply, Major ANSON called attention to the relative cost of the Woolwich 7-inch gun and the converted 7-inch gun, as given on the 13th August by the Secretary of State for War, and complained that as unfair comparison was made between the Wool wich gun and the converted gun. Sir J. PAICINCTON vindicated his statement, and said it was found that it would not be advan tageous to rifle the 68-pounder smooth bore gun, but it was intended that a number of 32-pounders should be rifled at private establishments under the superintendence of Major Palliser. Mr. Orw.tv called attention to the anoma:ous state of the law relating to the elections for the boroughs of Tanen, Great Yarmouth, Lancaster, and Rei , ate. These boroughs had all been dis fraziehi:ed for bribery by a clause in the Reform Act; but as, by the wording of the clause, the disfranchisement did not take place till the general election in 1869, if a vacancy occurred in the representation in the meantime, the Speaker would Lave to issue a writ for the election of a new mem ber, a state of things which he submitted ought not to be allowed to continue. Mr. C. FOMTER asked whether the payment of rates by a landlord was a payment by the tenant. A discussion followed on the subject of com pounding, in which Lord Henley, Mr. Warner, and Mr. Henley to9k part ; and Mr. Gladstone, who declined to discuss the question, said he was quite willing that the new system of rating all occupiers should be put to the test of ex perience, but he expressed a hope that it would not be treated as a party question. The ArfORNKY-GENERAL said Mr. Otway had taken a correct view of the effect of the clause in the Reform Act in reference to the disfranchise ment of the boroughs in question. That defect ought to be remedied as soon as possible, and the matter was under the consideration of government. In reply to the question of Mr. Forster, he stated that a payment of the rates by the landlord as the agent of the tenant would, for the purposes of the act, he a good payment. The motion for going into committee of supply was then withdrawn. On the report of the committee of ways and means, Mr. B. Osnourre commented on the little infor mation given in the blue-book on the Abyssinian war. There were no papers for the period from 1855 to 1860, and for aught they knew there might be a good deal to be said for King Theodore. He announced his intention of bringing the subject forward on Monday. The East London Museum Site Bill was read a second time and referred to a select committee. The Sales of Reversions Bill peued through com mittee. Mr. Huxr moved that the contract for the con veyance of the mails between this country, India, China, and Japan with the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company be approved. He said there was practically but one tender, which was from the Peninsular and Oriental Company, the only other tender being to convey the mails from Brindisi to Alexandria, Brindisi being substituted for Mar milks. The company asked 500,0601. per annum, the contract to be for six years • but after negotia tion 'they consented to take 4 00,0001., the time being extended to 12 years, and there was a pro viso that the government should guarantee to the company a dividend of 6 per cent., paying in no CYO, however, more than 500,0001. a year. But if the profits yielded more than 8 per cent. the govern ment was to share in the profits to the extent of one-fourth. The amount of the subsidy was much increased, it being at the present time only 230,0081. a year. . . Mr. AYRTON censured the government for having given the company twelve months' notice to termi nate the contract, and then issuing advertisements for tenders with too short a notice to enable ship owners to tender, a course of procedure by which they placed themselves in the power of the com pany. The government might have insisted on greater speed being attained, it being only nine and and a half miles an hour. He also objected to the terms of the contract, which he said were a pre mium on waste, and to the period for which it was made. Mr. NORWOOD agreed with Mr. Ayrton that it was an injudicious thing to have so soon given notice to terminate the contract to carry the Bom bay mails. He also agreed with him that more speed ought to have been required. The 400,0001. a year was only for the service to India and China. In the course of another yeartbegovernment would Lave to pay more for the service to Australia. He objected to the partnership arrangement between the government and the country. Mr. &OUJDA also disapproved of the partner ship, and thought greater speed might have been required, but said it was a mistake to suppose that 400,0001. was to be given for the service for which 230,0001. was paid now, because a greater amount of service was to be rendered. Mr. CHILDERS censured the government for not acting in accordance with the recommendations of the committee of last year, and for entering into the partnership, but, under the circumstances, should support the motion. Mr. M•L.saax characterised the arrangement as an improvident and objectionable one. Mr. Ht7srr replied, but the discussion was con tinued by Mr. GRAHAM and Mr. J. B SMITH, who both expressed an opinion that the contract should have been for a shorter period. The house then divided, and the motion was serried by 55 to 13. Bills were introduced by Sir C. O'Loghlen, to enable corporate and other public bodies in Ireland to grant superannuation allowances to officers in their service in certain cases ; by Mr. Hadfield, for facilitating the acquisition and enjoy ment of sites for buildings for religious , educa tional, literary, scientific, and other charitable purposes ; and by Mr. S. Lefevro, to enable per sons to secure to their wives and children the benefit of assurances on their lives by nomination endorsed on the policy. The house adjourned at half past ten o'clock till twelve this day. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT RANTERS! RAILWAY. —Yesterday afternoon an inquest was bald at the London Hospital by Mr. J. Humphreys, the Middle sex coroner, relative to the death of Mr. William Bennett, wed 59, a miller, lately residing at Benkentrse. The Rev. T. Cochrane, Stapleford rectory, said that on Tuesday last b• was in the same compartmental a =these on the Great lectern Railway, from Ilisbopegate to Chadwell-heath station. At the station the deceased opened the carriage door, and stepped straight out while the train was t going on. He was swung round and thrown down. The train went over the deceased, who had fallen between the *Harm and the rails. The train was going rather fast at the time. It was 7 o'clock in the evening when the acci- dent took place. The deceased Wel quite sober. Mr. W. Jay, house-surgeon at the London Hospital, said that the deceased was brought in suffering from dreadful injuries through being crushed by a railway train. His case was hopeless, but he lingered until the next day (Wednesda)), when he died from his injuries. The Coroner said that this was only another instance of the danger resulting from railway passengers opening the carriage doors to alight while the train is in motion. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death through alighting from a train while in motion." CZYbTAL PALscs.—This afternoon's concert is otos of more than usual interest.

Last evening the first of a series of meetings under the auspices of this association was held in St. James's Hall, Mr. S. Molnar in the chair. Upon the platform there were Mr. Stanfield, M.P., Mr. Torrens, M.P., Mr. Berkeley, M.P., Mr. Mason Jones, the hon. sec., Mr. J. H. &Montt, Mr. W. Morris, ho. . . . Mr. Magus JONES det'ailed the action which wu to be taken during the winter months, and pointed out the ground upon which that action was taken. On behalf of the London committee of the National Reform Union he had to announce the subjects of the ballot, redistri bution of seats, the ratepaying clause, the Irish di/Duality —(cheer., and a Voice, "the Repeal of the Union")—in eluding the Irish church, and the Irish land question, education, the game laws, the law of primogeniture and entail, and other kindred topics. He appealed for funds, and was loudly cheered upon announcing that Mr. S. Morley, in addition to the thousand pounds he had given to the Manchester fund, had subscribed 100 i. to bead the London list. Mr. BITL'LLAGH TOREEN9 proposed "That in order to secure the free, independent, and unbisseed exercise of the franchise, it is essential that in all parliamentary elec tions the vote should be taken by ballot." (Cheers.) The Hon. Mr. BERKELEY, M.P., seconded the motion. The resolution was carried unanimously, and like its successors, amidst loud cheering. Mr. STAINFELD, M.P. (who was enthualastically re ceived), said, although this was his first appearance at the National Reform Union's meeting it was not his own fault. He now took the first opportunity of ascending the platform of " stale sedition." (Laughter and cheers.) If reformers had been treated to hard words they had also had their consolations, for it was some satisfaction to know that they had compelled their enemy to the public confession that he had taken a lisp in the dark— that he had taken the leap while they had pointed out the gap to him. (Laughter and cheers.) Lord Derby went on to say that the leap he had taken as Prime Minister of the country and leader of his party bad been because he had come to the oonclusion that boldness, or rather rashness, was the only road to safety; but the safety that was in the mind of the leader of the conservative party was not the safety of the state entrusted to his keeping, but the safety and the wooer of the party he led. (Cheers.) Since that occasion when there was " sound of revelry by night," and when all went " merry as a marriage bell," Manchester had had something else to say upon the question of conservative safety and success, and she had returned no uncertain sound—(cheers)—for the triumphant election of Jacob Bright was one of the greatest triumphs of modern ad vanced liberalism. (Loudobeera.) It woof immensemoment at a crisis like this, when what we wanted above all thinp was a reconstitution of the liberal party upon a broad, Blear, and advanced platform, that an event of this nature had ithen place, and, looking round upon his friends of the National Reform Union, he felt it was a good augury that upon the morrow of such a victory as that of Man chester they were renewing their labours In the metro- polis. (Cheers.) The liberals had every reason to be satisfied with the Manchester election, but, this being the day of happy families, the Manchester conservatives were satisfied too. (Laughter.) They had undoubtedly proved themselves to be in • minority, and they ought to take the earliest opportunity of availing themselves of the ad vantages which the minority clause would put into their hands. (Laughter.) The liberals would find that that minority clause was a useful weapon at their right hands in the battle they were about to fight with respect to the redistribution of sesta, because it was a principle and method that would only be advantageous if we conceived the whole country mapped out into something like equal three.cornered constituencies ' and because the mere fact of its introduction furnished the strongert and weightiest argument in favour of • complete and advanced measure. The conservative party never made so great • mistake as this, for they did not attempt to deal with the claim for an efficient and just redistribution of political power; but they professed to have formed checks upon the prineipls of household suffrage in the ratepaying clauses, which were most surely doomed. (Cheers.) He was about to move • resolution as to redistribution, and in doing so be strongly asserted that these restrictions foolishly con oeived, carried within them the seeds of the ir own destruc tion. He prophesied also, with the fullest conviction that the prediction would be realised, the resurrection of the compound householder, and the complete annihilation of the so-called great principle of the conservative Reform Bill of last session. (Loud cheers.) The hon. member entered at full length into the provisions of the ratepaying clauses, with the view of showing that Mr. Henley and his friends, instead of attending the obsequies of the compound householder, bad but ministered to his apotheosis. Did not the present state of thine bring back to our minds the stand made last session, and the eloquent arguments of Mr. Gladstone—(loud cheers)— when, amidst the derision of a conservative house, he de. nounced these arrangements as calculated to inflict a fine upon the working people our towns if they ventured to accept the generosity of parliament in the measure which had just passed into law ? (Renewed cheers.) If in the coming session of parliament the great leader of the liberal party sought to remedy the evil which last year he could nos prevent, let the people of the country support him, and when that act of jut legislation and right should be accom plished they would be within easy distance of the object of their long wishes, namely, household suffrage, unadul terated and simple. (Loud cheers.) He moved the following, " That the present distribution of electoral power is in adequate to the free representation of the people and could not, therefore, be accepted as a settlement of the question, and the meeting calls upon all reformers to de mend of the present parliament such a distribution of seats as would secure an efficient representation of the intelligence, property, and population of the country." Mr. J. H. Earcouar, in an able speech, seconded the re solution, which was carried unanimously. The following resolution was proposed by Mr. NOBLE, seconded by Mr. ALEXANDER, and also carried unani mously That this meeting is of opinion that the re. stricdon imposed upon the qualification of household b suffrag by the payment of rates is wrong, and ought to ere lad A cordial vote of thanks to the chairman was carried unanimously. MRTROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORK/I.—After our report left yesterday, Mr. Pollard, the clerk of the board, wished to know from the members in what way he was to alter the minutes which were said to be incorrect. He had, prepared them to the best of his ability and he should like to be informed what should be added, and what parts of the minutes should be struck out. Mr. Roche had furnished him with an abstract of what he had mid in denial of the statements made with reference to him, and he would be glad to understand if it would meet the views of the board that he should enter this denial on the minutes. Mr. Richardson said it was not their duty to enter on the minutes speeches or letters read by individual members. They should only contain the results of what the board actually did. Mr. Saunders seconded the ma tion, urging very effectively that if any abstract of a speech or copies of letters were given, which one member bad made or read, the speeches made and letters read by every other member should also be inserted; this would be most irregular and inconvenient, and would be going beyond the intention of the board in keeping minutes of what they did. After some further discussion it was agreed that Mr. Doulton's letter, and that of Mr. Furness in reply, should be struck out of the minutes. The other business was disposed of and the board adjourned. DIOCIIBII or NORWICH.—On Tuesday lest the Rev. John Marjoribenks NisbetaLA., was installed canon of the Cathedral Church of Norwich, vacant by the resig nation of the Rev. Dr. Archdall Gratin*. On the same day the Rev. George Roberts, 8.A., wee instituted to the rectory of Beechamwell Si. Mary with Si. John annexed in Norfolk, on the presentation of Mr. Thomas Fielden and Mr. John Fielden, of Todmorden, in the county of Lan. caster. On the same day the Rev. Robert Rogers, M.A., was licensed to the perpetual curacy of Fordh am , in Nor folk, on the nomination of Mr. Edward Roger Murray Pratt, of Ryston Hall, Norfolk, Mr. Herbert Murray, of Downingqtreet, Westminster, and Mr. Robert Hay Murray, of West Lodge, Byfieet, Surrey. TR It POOR-LAW BOARD AND MentOPOLITAN Uerromi.—The Poor-law Board authorities have notified to the Greenwich board of guardians their intention of severing the parish of Woolwich from the Greenwich union, and forming • district union, comprising Wool wich, Chariton , and Phimatead parishes. The Greenwich hoard of guardians, while offering no oppoition to this severance, have resolved upon forming • deputation, and seeking an interview with the Poor-law Board, with the view of obtaining the placing of Sidbrooke (a wealthy neighbourhood, and hitherto • part of the Lewisham union) within the union ; and the local board of health at Woolwich, objecting solely to be joined to Cha r lt on an d Plumatead, the latter parish containing scarcely any but a working-class population, have, r e so l ve d u p on a like de putation to the Poor-law Board, seeking either to be in cluded in the Lewisham union, or to have the more wealthy parishes of Fltham and Kidbrooke includ e d w ithi n what will in future be the Woolwich union. ROYAL HOSPITAL FOR INCURABLZS. —At the annual meeting of the governors and subscriben of this institution, held yesterday morning at the London Tavern, Sir Benjamin S. Phillips in the chair, the attendance at which was very numerous, a long di scussion took place with regard to the attacks upon the mimagement of the institution which have recently appeared in the Atheneum, the result being that • resolution was passed unanimously, to the effect that the complaints i n question were unde served, and that the board are fully entitled to the me& deuce and sympathy of the supporters of the institution. From the report, which was read by Mr. F. Andrew, the secretary, it appeared that there are at present 107 inmates and 193 pensioners connected with the hospital, and that funds are greatly needed to complete the new wing now in course of erection, as well as to maintain the °pastime of the charity, and to extend its benefits. The report was adopted, and at the close of the business-part of the meeting the subscribers proceeded to the election of 30 inmates and pensioners. URAL= RESTOARD ST DD BARRY'S FOOD TO rat.

THE EXPLOSION ON BOAItD A GREEK WAR STEAMER AT LIVERPOOL. GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. An explosion, which has involved the lose of a fine steamer, called the Bubulina, and the destruction of a large number of lives, occurred early yesterday morning in the Mersey. The Bubulina, once well known as the Confederate blockade runner Colonel Lamb, was a war steamer in the service of the Greek government, and was anchored off New Ferry, on the Cheshire side. She was intended to sail for Greece during the day. She was com manded by Captain Sartorius, and had on board a crew of seventy-three men, five or six officers, and one passenger. The captain had given orders that steam should be got up at six o'clock. This was done, when to the surprise and horror of those on board a terrific explosion took place amidships, rending the vessel in two, and parting by a distance of about two hundred yards the after portion of the ship from the forward bulkheads and the watertight compartments, where the mags tines were placed. The stern part sank, but the fore part kept afloat for some time in consequence of the watertight bulkheads. When the explosion took place the crew were for the moat part below, and it is feared that a large number of them must have perished, including two engineers. Attention was soon called to the disaster, for the noise of the explosion and the shouts and cries of the unfortunate victims were heard, not only on the Cheshire, but on the Liverpool side, and the first impres sion was that one of the floating magazines had exploded, or that another Lofty Sleigh disaster had occurred on board some ship in the Sloyne. The captain of the Rock Ferry steamer Ant, bearing from the Rock Ferry slip the cries and shrieks of the wounded and dying, hastened with his steamer towards the part of the river whence they proceeded.• After steaming in the middle of the riser about a quarter of a mile astern of the Great Eastern, the Ant approached the fore part of the unfortunate Mainline, which the captain of the Ant at first supposed to be her sister ship, the Amphitrite (once the famous blockade runner Penguin, but now a Greek war steamer). As he approached close to the floating wreck, a man on the forecastle shouted out to him to sheer off, as the magazine was on board, and he feared an explosion might ensue at any moment. The Ant conse quently did not approach the Bubulina so as to touch her ; but in the mean time the Bubulina's boats were busily engaged picking up the unfortunate crew, some 30 of whom—badly clothed, and many nearly naked—were thus saved from a watery grave ; many of these unfortunates were Greeks, and the majority firemen. At this time the stern part of the Bubulina still kept afloat ; but as the tide began to flow it sank about 300 yards distance from the other half. As soon as the captain and crew of the Ant had done all they could to assist the unfortunate crew of the Bubulina, Captain Kay proceeded to Liverpool, where he landed the sufferers who had been placed on board his steamer. One poor fellow had an arm broken, another had received a dreadful wound in the back, evidently caused by s piece of iron, the wound being so jagged. The boats from her Majesty's ship Donegal were also must active in rendering assistance, she being for tunately stationed close alongside of the Bubulina. Amongst those picked up by the Donegal's boats were two men, one with both his legs broken, and another with his right arm dreadfully injured. What added greatly to the painful nature of the disaster was the fact that many of the men—Greeks—could not speak a word of English, and could not consequently explain what they required, or what injuries they had received. Mr. O'Hara, the fourth engineer, was rescued by the boats of the Ant, but when this was written nothing was positively known of the fate of the second and the third engineer (the second, Sharp by name), but it is feared that when the explosion took place both were engaged in the engine -room. Mr. Elliott, the chief engineer, was in the room, but partially dressed, at the moment of the explosion ; he ran at once up stairs ; he was in the after part of the vamp', and was fortunately picked up by a river gig, being severely injured in different parte of the body. Captain Senoritas had also a narrow escape from death. A minute or two before the explosion he went on to the upper saloon deck, and was standing close to his cabin there, when the crash came. All he can remember of the affair is that he was lifted off his feet into the air, and finally fell into the sea among a lot of broken spars and other debris, some distance from the blown-up ship. In falling Captain Sartarias received a severe scalp wound, and was otherwise severely shaken. The unfortunate gen tleman is at present laid up on board the Amphitrite, suffering from his injuries, whilst several of the crew and firemen have been taken to the Northern Hospital, both bruised and scalded. All the principal officers have been saved, viz. :—Marcus Botsaris, first lieutenant ; Pan taloon Beuboulis, second lieutenant; Nicoloe Zyaroados, third lieutenant ; Basilic* Argoeterios, ship treasurer ; and Aristides Gialonsoy, a passenger. The above gentle men were in the stern cabin at the time the explosion took place, but they managed to reach the saloon deck, where they remained until picked off by the boats sent to their assistance. One poor fellow, a Greek fireman, who made his sorrow known in broken English, was down in the stokehele at the time, and says that the "bomb, bomb, bomb " (as he expressed it) sent him "flying" on to the deck, and thence into the water, where the Donegal's boat rescued him. He is scalded about the head, and cut on the right leg and arm, but he makes light of his injuries when compared with his per sonal big —6 gold watch, 261. in gold, and all his outfit. On making inquiries on board the Amphi trite, where Commander Sartorins and his officers are at present quartered, we were informed that at the time of the explosion there were about 73 people on board, including the captain, officers, sailors, engineers, firemen, and stokers. Of the 73, Mr. Aristides Gialonsoy (the only gentleman on board who spoke English) informed us that there were 18 seamen and 32 firemen and trimmers missing. All the engineers and some of the firemen were English—Mr. Elliott, the chief, being one of the most ex perienced marine engineers sailing out of the port of LiverpooL The explosion bas cast a deep gloom over the port, and up to the despatch of our parcel none of the bodies had been recovered, while the river is covered with the wreck. The unfortunate vessel was originally known as the Ariel, and then as the Colonel Lamb, her original destination being blockade-running to the Southern porta of Alllll6Oll during the war. She was built of steel in 1864, by Messrs. Jones, Quiggin, and Co., for Messrs. Fraser, Trenhobn, and Co., of this town and Charleston, her cost being about 50,000 L, no expense being spared in order to make her one of the fleetest and strongest steamers afloat. Her tonnage was G. 99, the full register being 1,132. She was 279 feet long, 33 feet broad, and 15 feet deep. Her engines were made by Messrs. James Jack and Son, of Liverpool, and were of 310-horse power, and designed on the most recent and most approved principles. She made but one voyage to and from America, when her speed fre quently averaged IGi knots. After the termin►- tion of the war the Bubulina was laid up in dock for • long period, but she was re cently sold by the well-known firm of Charles Kellock and Co., ship brokers, to the Greek government, the local agents for whom—Masers. Glenne:l/3pol* and Co., Greek consuls—plaosd her in the hands of Minn. G. B. Clover and Co., of Birkenhead, by whom she was put in thorough repair at an expense of upwards of 5,000/. The Bubulina had on board about 350 tons of Powell's Duffryn steam coal, • large quantity of provisions, and a quantity of Whitworth guns, gunpowder, and other warlike mate. rieL The bull of the vessel was insured for about 20,0001., and we believe that a large quantity of the cargo was also insured, some so recently es Thursday. Great differences exist as to the canes of the explosion, but the general opinion of experienced surveyors inclines to spontaneous combustion in the reels as the real cause of the disaster. The South Welsh steam coals are peculiarly liable to th e r grid generation of gases, and the large quantity on board the Bubulina had been confined in the bunkers for a considerable period, quite long enough to generate an im mense and dangerous quantity of very explosive g•s. If the boilers had exploded, they would, we an informed, have blown upwards, and no explosion of a boiler on ship board was ever known to break the keel, and that of the Enderlin& was much stronger than the average. If gun powder had been the motive force, the vessel, it is argued, would have blown into fragments, and not have been divided—as has been done—into two solid portions. This opinion that the coal was the nun of the explosion was so a nog in the mind of Mr. Elliott, the chief engineer, that when he came to his senses he at once despatched a mange to the captain of the Babulina's sister vessel, the Amphi trite, to open his coal hunkers at once. The Amphitrite, like the Bubulina, has also been purchased by the Greek government, as a war steamer. She was originally built hv Messrs. Laird Brothers. as a blockade runner, and was oiiioa4 called the Penguin, her musts being also Merrs Pram, Trsabobas, and 00. NOVEMBER 30, 1867.

A seaman, named Jaa;esaili7sWir, F 3 years of age, was brought before the Lord Mayor, In cuitody of Walab, one of the City police, charged with the wilful murder of John Wyers another seaman, on board a ship milled the Fre donia, in the Bay of Fayal, on the 18th of September. The prisoner was brought to this country under the pro visions of the Merchant Seaman's Shipping Act, in the Wave, and upon her arrival at Nicholson's-wharf, on Thursday afternoon, he was given into the custody of a City police constable upon the above charge. Thomas Lee Feller, master of the ship Wave, of Guern sey, now lying at Nicholson's-wh ar f, sa id : On the 3rd November I received the prisoner on board my veeeel, by the order of Mr. Thom Dart , the British vieso at Fayal, Asore Islands. That order I now ;reduce. My vessel was the first leaving for England, and my instruc tions were that on my arrival I was to give him into the custody of some police officer. I arrived at the port of London on Thursday . I had also some letters and papers addressed to the Board of Trade. I did not see the Fredonia, as she had left FayaL I heard that the prisoner was a seaman on board that vessel. She was American built, sailing under British colours. Mr. Oke (Chief Clerk)—The order says she was • British vessel. Rumination continued—On the passage home the prisoner said they bad bad • quarrel. They had been drinking, and on going on board the dammed hit him, threw him down on one of the chests, and afterwards got him into • corner of the forecastle and made several attempt. to stab him. Finding that he was in danger of his life he then drew his own knife and stabbed the de ceased, who fell down and died. The Plisoner has repeated this statement to me once or twine, lend said he had no in tention of doing him any harm. He was not kept in con finement on board my vesseL The Fredonia is on her voyage from Fri to New Bedford, and is not likely to come to lenEn Ar. Oke said he bad some depositions in reference to the case, but they were not reed to the court. Maurice Walsh, • pollee-officer, deposed—About twenty minutes to 2 on Thursday afternoon I was on duty in Lower Thameastreet. I was called to Nicholson's-wharf to take • man into custody, and on my way I met with Captain Paley, who told me the nature of the offence. I went with him on board the ship, and he called up the prisoner, who immediately came on deck. I told him he was charged with murdering John Wyers, • seaman, in the Bay of Faye/ He replied, " I did it to save myself. We lad been drinidng and had • quarrel on shore, and after going on board Wyen drew a knife at, me en deck, and three times attempted to stab me, and then I drew my knife and stabbed him self-defence._" In reply to the Lord Mayor, the prisoner, who appeared to be very depressed, stated that he had nothing to say. The Lord Mayor then remanded him for a week. BOW-STRIIST. _ _ John Heare, police-constable F 130, appeared to a sum mons charging him with assaulting Sarah Humphries, • young married woman. Mr. West, from the office of Sheen and Roman solici tors to the Society for the Protection of Women and Children, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Wontner, jun., defended. Mr. West, in opining the case, stated that on the night of the 18th instant the complainant and her sister-in-law, a Mrs. Robertson, the wife of a reader at a newspaper office, were passing along Wych-etreet ; a policeman, evi dently very drunk, asked them for a pipe. Asto nished at so ridiculous • request, they still thought it best to be civil to the oonstable, and told him they had not got such a thing. He then asked fm- some tobacco, which also they were unable to give. iu He then bade them good night and went away. went on their way, Mrs. Humphries observing that, " that man did not mind be would get himself re ported." The defendant at that moment came out from • doorwa and demanded to know if they were speaking of him. T hey replied that theywere not speaking of him, Mita another person. He told them that they were • couple of bad characters (using a foul expression), followed them, treading on their heels, and knocked them down several times. He also kicked at Mrs. Humphries when down, but a man who was pasting by interposed, and he received the kick intended for her. After asking if they intended to take his number he took Mrs. Humphries into custody and charged her with disorderly conduct. On the way to the station they passed near the house where Robertson lived. He had arrived at home a little previously, and hearing that his sister was in custody he came out to inquire into the matter, upon which the defendant gave him in charge to another constable for attempting to rescue the woman. At the station-house ' however, the inspector dismissed both charges. An investigation took place the next day at Scotland-yard, in consequence of which the defendant was suspended pending these proceedings. lc support of these statements, Mr. West called Mr. and Mrs. Robertson and Mn. Humphries, who, though agreeing in their general evidence, contradicted one another on almost every detail of importance —as to the number of times he knocked them down, whether together or sepa rately, and the like. Mr. Wontner said the two women were going along the street gemming, and the constable simply asked them to be quiet. Mrs. Humphries was so troublesome that he was obliged to take her into custody. On the way to the station, Robertson interfered, and attempted to rescue her. The inspector on duty sent for the policeman whom they had seen before meeting the defendant. lie was drunk, and could not deny having asked the ladies for • pipe and tobacco. T he tor , making allowance for their natural excitement at thus insulted, let them go. The police man was ' _ from the force. _ Inspector Parker was called, and corroborated this statement, and the summons was dismissed. Dr. Shaw, of the Firs, Horsham, near Elmstree, Hert fordshire, appeared to &newer the adjourned summonses charging Dim with infringing the Lunacy Act, by taking charge of a lunatic without the necessary certificate. Mr. Poland, instructed by Messrs. Law and Co., soli citors to the oommistioners in lunacy, conducted the pro- secution, and Mr. Merriman defended. Some additional evidence having been given, Mr. Poland applied for a further adjournment, and also asked for two other summonses against the defendeat, one of a similar nature to this, for taking charge of a lunatic (a lad) without the requisite certi fi cates, and the other, for tak ing charge of two lunatics without a license for his haus. - Merriman expressed his regret that the application had not been made privately. The publicatioa of reports of these examinations necessarily crested some prejudice against his client, and he was debarred from making any statement in defence. He was anxious at all events that it should go forth that he most emphatically de clared his conviction that the defence be should offer would be received by the court as a complete answer to the owe, on the merits. MOURNING TOR THE EIRCUTED FENIAN/I IN lanurn.—The Cork Examiner thinks it probable that • funeral procession will take plus in at least one district of that city to-morrow as " a mark of mourning for the men executed at Manchester." Arrangements, it is mid, are being made for snob • demonstration. The same ur nal mentions that in addition to other " publicmanifesta tions of sorrow' last Sunday cer tain temperance rooms in Conk were hung in Mack . In Limerick cards with • black border were han t bearing the same words as appeared upon the placards on the chapel entreaties in other towns :—" Of your charity pray for the souls of Allen, Gould, end Larkin. God save Inland'." The Conesel CAromicie mutes that on Monday, at an early hour, the bell of one of the catholic chapels of Dun graven rang out so a and about seven o'clock • large concourse of were collected at the uses religious edifice, all in black. To the inquiry of the correspondent of the CArolaide, the answer was given that requiem moues were being said every hour during the day for the men executed on the day but one previous. "An Irish Priest," waiting to the Prmatan's Journal from the county of Louth, says that people there "be lieve the English government will yet have reason to regret the death of Allen, Gould, and Larkin." Another corre spondent of the same journal, named Patrick WlCcever, 'dries, the wearing of crape in Dublin on Sunday next, and • third proposes an application to the goverment for the body of Allen, that it may be buried in DISMISS IN LIVIRPOOL. —Bad trade and hard weather Sr. telling with great severity upon the poor of Liverpool, particularly the cotton porters, a very large number of whom are now out of employment. Yesterday several hundreds of them assembled on the Exchange, it being at first determined to balks meeting there, in order that the merchants might know the extent of their suffer ings. In obedience, however, to the wish of the mayor, the meeting was transferred to the old church-yard, where several porters having spoken a deputation was appointed to wait upon the mayor, and the meeting was adjourned to hear the result. The speakers were moderate and peaceable in their tons, and strongly deprecated try at tempt to "raise the town," as had been threatened by some men on change in the morning. Theresult of a con ference between the mayor, the parochial authorities, and the committee of the Central Relief Society, is that • number of men are to be employed to snake a boons to house visitation in the poorer parts of the town, and report to the mayor next Thursd. In the meanti m e the soup kitchens will be opened on Monday next. NATIONAL FREIIHOLD LAND SOCIZTY.—The quar terly general meeting of the members of this society was held last evening at the London Tavern, Biabopegate. street, Mr. E. Olarks in the chair. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the accounts, remarked that the reduction in the rats of interest from 5 to 4 per Dent. bad not mach affected the depoidts. In the July quarter they amounted to 160,8591. ; this quarter they were 131,8111. ; showing a falling off of little lees than 30,0001. The with drawals amounted to only 2,0001. or 3,0001. less than in the last quarter. The affairs of the society were in a sound and satisfactory Mate, and he hoped would long continue so. The adoption of the report having been duly seconded, a short discussion arose in the course of which it was stated that the members now number over 12,000, after which the motion was unanimously panted, and a vote of thanks to the chairman and managing oommittee aoa eluded the business.

Caledonian FARNHAM WORKHOIIBI AGAIN. —Some new facts not elicited before the poordaw commintioaers, by whoa the inquiry has hitherto been conducted, were ht to light on Thursday at • meeting of the board o guardians of this union, when a letter from the medical officer, Dr. Powell, was taken into consideration. By this document, which was read by the chairman is presence of the master, the medical officer respectfully called the attention of the guardians to the state of the suits of clothing at present in use by the male inmates, both in the infirmary and body of the house, many of them being in • most dirty state both inside id out, while several were in rage, and the trawlers and coats of others had evidently not been changed for • considerable time. The m eal officer therefore suggested that two suits of clothing should be provided for each inmate. sit present there was not a suit far each, as a patient since his admission: bad been without sayolothing, none beingobtainable feebler' in the hones. Dr. Powell also requested the attention of the board to the bathing of the inmates on their admission. The quan tity of water used in the male receiving ward bath never exceeded two inches, and in the female receiving and venereal wards the quantity was only three inches. The letter concluded by a recommendation that each bath should contain at least 18 inches depth of water, and that for • proper bath two feet of water should be supplied. The master, in reply to the chairman, said that some of the inmates were very nearly naked, their clothing being moth torn, and one patient since his admission some days pre vious bad been obliged to remain in bed for want of cloth. bse,. The baths were unreasonably large, being four times as Large as those of the Rending union used for the same purpose. The chairman intimated that • number of suits were ordered on the previous board day, which would shortly be furnished by the contractor, and that the eon. struction of the baths would be altered under the inspec tion of the visiting committee. In a discussion relating to the Government Lock Hospital at Aldershott, it transpired that the institution bad already proved insufficient to afford accommodation to the lam number of unfortunate - . creatures who applied fur admiudon and that the forma method of residua; them to the Far nham union wes again about to be resorted to by the authorities. A benevolent lady residing in London has just forwarded a large quan tity of toys, for the amusenient of the juvenile inmaies of the workhouse. _ _ ADMIRALTY, Nov. 29. —APPOINTRZNIS. —Lieu tenants Eutaw Hooke, to the Lord Warden ; E.
