THE LITE MR. JOHN RIDDLE. (Fran the Kentteit Mercury.) - - Our obituary for the week records the death of Mr. John Riddle, bead master of the Nautical School, Greenwich Hospital, whose remains will be conveyed to their final restiug-place this day._ The deceased gentleman wsa the sou of the late Mr. Edward Riddle, who in the year It2l was appointed master of the Upper Naval School in the institution, on the recommendation of Dr. Charles Hutton, whose name is of European celebrity as • mathe matician. Dr. Hutton, who was himself a north country man, had been brought into correspondence with Mr. Edward Riddle, at that time 'neater of a corporate institu tion at Newcastle for affording instruction in navigation, by the contributions of the latter to the mathematical section of the Ladies' Diary, which the learned doctor for many years edited. Mr. Riddle found the system of edu ca tion pursued in the Greenwich school very little ill advance of the rule-of-thumb practised by private instructors in the neighbourho o d of T o w er -hill, where, with the aid of Norio, young gentlemen who are " going to see are taught navigation in three weeks. The new head master at once set heartily to work to reform • dare of things so discreditable to the institution. He saw the importance of the boys being made acquainted with the theory of the science which it would be the business of their life, as youths destined for the sea service, to put into practice ; and with this view he prepared and printed • work on naviga tion which has become a teat-book on the subject with all who either teach, or endeavour to learn it, as • breach of mathematical science. The result was that, within • few years, the Upper School in Greenwich Hospital acquired a reputation fur the soundness of the system of nautical in struction pursued in it which threw the college and schools at Portsmouth much into the shade. The useful labours of the elder Mr. Riddle were continued for upwards of 30 years and he certainly retired from the service fairly worn out by a faithful discharge of the duties of his office. His son, Mr. John Riddle, who succeeded him in the appointment, and who had been educated in the school, has been eminently successful in maintaining for it the high character it had obtained under the well-furnished mind and indefatigable exertions of his respected parent. Possessing equal energy and a tine oonstitution, it is pro bable that the public labours of the son would have been as long and as valuable to the institution as thaw of the father if he bad not been deprived of lifeby • simple accident whilst in the discharge of his duties. It appears that on the morning of the 25th ult. he was standing on a stool for the purpose of taking • book from one of the shelves in the class- NOM, and that by • slip of the foot he fell to the ground, the back of his bead striking satinet the edge of a form. on rising quickly he playfully remarked, " That's an awk. ward blow, boys," and in • moment or two the effect of it upon the brain became apparent, and he had scarcely power of tho ught e left to say to those around him, " kad me home. He was at once taken there, and remained in • state of insensibility till Saturday last, when death closed the career of • man whom society could ill afford to spare, and whose memory will long be cherished by all who enjoyed the happiness of being classed among the number of his friends. He died at the age of 4g , having • widow and six young children to mourn one of the best of hus bands and most affectionate of parents. The irreparable loss they have sustained has awakened more than ordinary sympathy, heightened as their bereavement is by tne sudden deprivation of the chief means of support for so numerous and ac, young • family. Although it is not the practice of the Board of Admiralty to grant pensions to the widows of its civil servants, the fends of Greenwich Hospital are so ample, and the claims upon pub hc gratitude of both father and son, who bore the name of Riddle, so great, that we most sincerely hope means will be found for some suitable recognition of the valuable ser vices they rendered both to the royal and commercial navy. There is not a port in the world where merchant ships are assembled that does not contain many commanded by skilful men who were at one time pupils in the Cpper School of Greenwich Hospital ; and we may almost venture to say that one-half of the ships in the British navy, at preeent afloat, owe much of their safety, when at sea, to officers who derived their nautical education either from the late Mr. John Riddle or his highly.gifted father. This is public service of no ordinary kind. The writer of this notice had the best opportunities for observing the zeal with which it was rendered, having, for Z 3 years, set at en opposite desk to that at which the elder Mr. Riddle was fulfilling the laborious duties of his office, and for many years neat to the desk at which the younger Mr. Riddle was qualifying himself to become, eventually, his father's successor. As a contributor to the stores of science, and as author of the important work to which reference ham been made, Mr. Edward Riddle establishbd a claim upon public gratitude which, apart from the separate claims of h e son, it is to be hoped will be recognised, as it suitably and wady might be, by the widow of the latter being placed on the royal pension list. This, we have no doubt, will be done; and it will probably be facilitated by the circumstance that Commander Petley, of one of the royal yachts, who is much in favour with her Majesty, and upon whose nau tical skill the safety of her children and her own precious life lies often depended, received his profeuion►l education in Greenwich Hospital School, under the elder Mr. Riddle, sad who afterwards married the sister of tthe younger. We froluently hear of pensions being granted to the de scendants of poets, and philosophers, end travellers, and other intellectual persons who have rendered service to their country, or advanced its honour. Here is a heart-broken willow whose husband did both, and here are sic bereaved young children whim father and grandfather elm, did both, and it will be a discredit to the nation if some proviaion is not made for them. PREPARATION FOR THE EXECUTION OF THE CON EIMNED MERDERERS.—This morning the preparations commenced in trot t of the gaol of Newgate, for the exe cution of the condemned prisoner, Catherine Constance Wlhoo, a number of workmen being employed erecting massive barriers along the entire front of the Old Bailey from Newgate-street to Fleet-lane. The wretched woman is daily visited in the condemned cell by the ordinary of Newgate, the Rev. Dr. Davis, and evinces* most becoming state of mind for one placed in her awful 'action, though she still maintains her innocence, and avers that Mrs. SOlLtilell died from natural causes. She couverses freely with the female warden appointed to watch her. To-morrow the condemned sermon will be preached by the Rev. Dr. Davis ; none, however, but the prisoners and the gaol officials will be allowed to be present. The execution will take place at eight o'clock on Monday morning. A more than usual concourse is expected to be present, and the sheriffs have directed that every precaution should be taken to prevent accident. Mks. THISTLETHWAYTE.— " LADY PREACIIERR"— The /lowness Courier last week inserted some observations by Dr. Begg and Mr. Kennedy, of Dingwall, called forth by the addressee delivered by Mra. Thiztlethwayte (Laura Bell) at Gane. Hundreds flock to Garve every Sunday to listen to this lady, and the interest, so far from diminish fug, seems to increase. In reply to the strictures of the two Scottish divines, Mrs. Thistlethwayte sends the Courier the following communication :—" Loch Luichart, Ding wall, October 4.—Dear Sir,—You will favour the Mlle of truth by kindly stating in your next report that I have sot appeared In any pulpit here. At the request of ma l ty I have, through grace, humbly declared the plan of salv a tion by faith in • risen Saviour, the Lor d Jesus Christ—my object being to enlighten the poor, not the rich. Dr. Den and Mr. Kennedy are both ignorant as to what the true church of Christ is founded upon. It certainly is not brick and mortar, but living atones bought with the precious blood of • Lamb without blemish. (Ist Peter, chapter ii. ; Hebrews, iii., 6 ; let Corinthians, %) Also. 1 beg to state my Calling is not to preach, but to wiu immortal souls through the Gospel message, and when in that office Paul lays down how • woman should be attired. (Ist Corinthians, xi., 5.) The testimouy of Jesus is the spirit of prophesy (Revelations, :ix., 10); and whosoever—man or woman, rich or poor—stands forth and preaches forgiveness of sins through this man, Christ Jesus, that person is prophesying. (Acts, x., 43, and will., ,k) , ,8)..) Dr. Begg and Mr. Kennedy, 1 regret, have not obeyed Paul's command in his Epistle to the Philippians, iv., 3, nor can they be enlightened upon the last chapter of the Rom ins. Was it not shadowed forth in the Old Scriptures by the call of Aatoll'h sister Miriam, by De borah, and others, what the God of all grace would do for His handmaidens when His holy spirit was poured out? Did men only drink from that Spiritual Hock? What says Peter in Acta ii.. 16.17? What was the conduct of our Saviour towards the woman who touched the hem of His robe? Did He all ow h er t o hid e ou t o f s i g ht? No ;1 Ile called her forth to tell all that had been dome for her body, and bow much more shall she no t s p ea k w h en H e is h ealer of her once lost soul ? Alas, Ido not now wonder that this mighty Saviour of sinners first appeared to a woman and entrusted her with • manage to the church in every age.' He well knew how her love and de votion would thus be attached. No delicate-minded woman would ever think of epeaking in the assembly of blood bought people ; it is the true church, and there she mug not speak. The unworthy writer quite forgives the gentle men who have caused her name to appear in • public paper, and will pray that they may be filled with charity and the truth as it is in Jesus.—A sinner saved by grace through faith in the Limb of God, L Tmsrutruwarra." hatottrost AND SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAYS.— It is expected that at the board meetings of these comps !Ma, un Thursday, a method will be devised to rub oat the now : of the difference between them out of which so much noise has arisen respecting the Caterham branch. It is to 'oe lamented that any misuuderstaading should exist be tween companiee who severally perform their services so well, and have heretofore worked together with praiseworthy harmony.— Heraparh. The late steamboat collision on the Tyne ha/ been perfectly investigated. After three lengthen e d Sittings the coroner and jury have concluded their labour, aed the fullest 'opportunity has been afforded for the ex amination of all who could throw any light on this melan choly affair. Among the witnesses there was a general con currence as to the circumstances under which the accident took place, and the cause by which it was brought about. As indicated by the testimony, the occurrence was attri butable to the Tyeemouth being out of her proper mine, soil a verdict accordingly was returned, all parties concerned being thus exonerated from blame. It is to be hoped, how ever, that the recent catastrophe will lead to the exercise '" Putter vigilance and care in the future. Nneonstle aironitle.

A DISGRACE TO THE FAIRLY, Charier Collins, a - i - rell7dWas;isyrZti,•boot 1G years of age, was charged with robbing furnished lodgings. This use was first before the court on the 15th nit., when • Mrs. Wrsgg, residing in Eimer-street, Bethnal green-rued, stated that the prisoner engaged • sleeping apartment at her house in the early part of that month, and left after the lapse of four days; that on the fol lowing morning she missed from • trunk which had been forced open wearing apparel value between tines and four pounds, her husband's property ; • little girl who was the only potion in the house when prisoner left, deposed that she saw him go oat with • carpet bag. A screw driver produced was stated to have been seen in his pos seesion previously ; marks on the trunk showed clearly it bad been opened with it. The charge was stoutly denied, and prisoner was remanded. . . . . . A mooed case was now brought forward, by the evidence in which it appeared that another lodger in the same house, peaked Thomas William,, had been robbed of an entire suit of clothes betides boots and other articles on the very morning that prisoner made off. The kiea in this instance was of corresponding to the other, so that the thief in the short spare of • sojourn had stolen to the value of 81., and a pawnbroker producedsomeof the clothing pledged in the name of Collins. _ . . Se;leant Chapman, 27K, who apprehended the prisoner at another lodging in the same greet as that where the robbery had been committed, said he had strong be. lief that the remainder of the property would be discovered, and • segues named Andrews proved the screw-driver to have been in possession of the prisoner. The parents and relatives of the prisoner were present, and it was mentioned that he had left • respectable borne about • month since, in consequence of some trivial quarrel with his father. Prisoner now admitted the charge, and wee fully com mitted for trial at the eessioos. THAMES. A DANGEROUS LEAP FROM A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. E/11,114 Dear, an interesting, well-dressed, and intelli gen t little girl, about 13 years of age, appeared before Mr. We on • slimmer which charged Ler with leaving a railway carriage while in motion, contrary to the bye-laws of the North London and Blac.kwall Railway Companies. It appeared from the evidence of Amos Maynard, goods inspector on the North London line, that on the arrival of a train from Hampstead and intermediate stations on Thurs day fortnight at the Stepney Junction station, and before it had stopped, he saw the defendant with her arm on the door of • second-class carriage in the act of getting out. She jumped on to the platform whilst the train was in motion, and fell, and narrowly escaped with her life. The step or scraper of the next carriage caught her dress and pulled her towards London, and her dress becom ing entangled in another carriage turned her about again. He rushed forward and dragged her from the carriage as it was dragging her along. She was in the greatest possible danger and was severely injured. The girl said her head and shoulder were bruised ; that she saw gentlemen jump out of the carriage, and that it stopped and gave a jerk, when she laid her hand on the door, and was thrown down on the platform. Maynard said the train was not stopped when some gen tlemen jumped out of the carriages. The prisoner followed after them, and the train went • full carriage length after the prisoner jumped out. Mr. Selfe said he was very sorry indeed that the girl was injured, it would be • warning to her as long as she lived not to leave • railway carriage while the train was in motion. He regretted that the railway company had not summoned the men who jumped from the railway carriages while the train was in motion. If that had been done he would have fined them very severely. He could nut altogether pass over the offence of the girL He fined her 2s. 6d. without meta. The mother of the girl begged of the magistrate to release her daughter, and maid she had no money to pay the fine. Mr. Selfe—You ought not to come to a police court with out money. Go home, and fetch the money. Your daugh ter shall not be locked up, but the fine must be paid. The mother said she lived in Islington, and had a small income. She was about to leave the court, when a gentle man lent her half-a-crown to pay the fine, and the girl was liberated. MELANCHOLY INTERRUPTION Or A WEDDING. An inquiry was held by Mr. H. Raffles Walthew , the deputy-coroner, at the Lord Liverpool tavern, Mile-end , late last night, mulcting the death of Richard Thompson, aged 50 years, who expired suddenly on Wednesday last owing to the excitement consequent on the intended mar riage of his daughter. Miss Eliza Thompson said that her marriage was fixed to take place on the morning in question, and that when she attired herself in her wedding dress she went into the parlour to show herself to her father. He seemed to become at once greatly excited, and almost immediately fell on the floor, f3he screamed for help, and Mr. Church, to whom she was about to be married, ran in and lifted him on to a chair, and Dr. Tainton was sent for. Witness immediately put off the marriage, as her father appeared to be in a dying state, and he died in four hours. Mr. D. Church gave similar evidence. Dr. Tainton said that the deceased died from effusion on the brain, produced no doubt by the excitement consequent on seeing his daughter in her bridal dream as described. The Coroner said that the circumstances of the death of the deceased were peculiarly affecting. He had lately pre sided in a somewat similar but more painful case at Totten ham, in which the parent of the bride banged himself in a moment of insanity brought about by the excitement on the evening before the marriage. The daughter, however, did not display the good feeling evinced by the parties in the present case, because she caused the marriage to be pro ceeded with, and she wakat the instance of the jury, obliged to attend attired as she war in her wedding dress to give art:Macau to the caused her father's suicide. Tbe jury returned a verdict " That Richard Thompson died from apoplexy from excitement." WEATHER REPORT.-('THD3 DAY.) sAnnuur. oorinza 1 • £.X. B.LIL D. 1.0. L Z.& NAME 29.06 43 40 W.

POAcITZRS ON TIMIS Dergscr..—At Sutton-in- Ashfield, Samuel Slack and Joseph Murray, both of Mans field, were charged with having rabbits unlawfully ob tained, and being in possession of seta for taking game, on the 61st ult. Police-constable Butler deposed—About a quarter-past 4 o'clock on Sunday morning, the 31st ult., I was on duty in New tedium, Mansfield, in company with Police-constable Richard Hind and Police-constable Wil liam HelL I saw Joseph Murray come out of a farmyard in a field belonging to Mary Watkinson, and walk towards me. I was concealed behind a gate-post When he came near me 1 went up to him and said, • Now, Murray, I must search you." He said, " Very well." I searched him, but found nothi ng on him. He had a large rough dog with him. When I had finished searching him, he said, "You see there's more ways of doing it than one." He then went away. When he had got about 150 yards from me be stopped and whistled. Hind and Hall joined me at the same time. We beard a crush in the farmyard as if some persons were getting over the fence. We then went into the yard and saw Slack standing behind a pigsty.. When he saw me be jumped out of the field into Newgate lane, where Hind and Hall met him. On the spot when Slack had been standing I found the bag I now pro • duce, containing 13 rabbits and two nets. I then joined Hind and Hall, who bad Slack in charge, and searched him while I stood by. They found on him another net and 20 net pegs. I said, "Now, we shall take these things under the new Game Act." He said, " I never got no notice don't consider it's fair soldiering." Police-constable Hind gave corroborative evidence. In defence Slack said, " I'd no notice given me about the new act, which I ought to have had. If Igo and take the wild animals in the air, I consider they are mine. If we are not taken on the spot when we get the game, I consider wears free when we get home with it. The nets produced are my property." Sir E. S. Walker—You have so more right to go on a man's land to take game than yen have to go into a farmyard and take away the fowls. Murray said—l don't know wby I have been summoned here at all. There was nothing found upon me. I know nothing about the nets, and wee not out with Slack. Captain Hall—We have not the slightest doubt upon our mind but that you were in company. Yon will be fined 5L each, or three months' imprisonment, the rabbits to be sold, and the nets destroyed. The primeees were committed. and bourne very abusive as they ware being taken out of court. Addressing Sir Edward, Murray said. " Yon may be dead when I some out. but your pas will sot. I'll do for you jet, se help as Clod." SHARE LLSTS•-(THII DAY.) Two o'Czoos. The operations in railway shares to-day are again upon a very restricted scale, and the changes in prices are unimportant.

Two &Moo& The stock markets remain very quiet, in the absence of active — transactions: The funds are fiat, and have declined i per cent. ID railway stocks there is no general varia tion, but in some instances a reduction of i t to f per cent. is observable. As regards foreign securities, the only movement worth mentioning is a decline in Italian Five per Cents. and Turkish Consolidds. Consols are now quoted 931 to # for money, and 93# to 11-16 for the account (6th of November). The official business report is as follows : Throe per Cent. Consols, for money, 931, f ; ditto for account, 931 ; Three per Cents Reduced, 92 ; New Three per Cents., 91/, 92 ; New Three-and-a-Half per I Cents., 1004 ; Bank Stock, 237, 236 ; India Five per Cent. stock, 1091, 4, 4 ; ditto Four per Cent. Debentures, 1863, 1001, 101, 4 ; ditto 1864 or 1866, 101/ ; ditto Bonds, 31a. prem. ; Exchequer ; Bills, June, 235. prem. ; ditto March, 18s. prem. The foreign stock market still shows an absence of animation. Turkish Consolidds have receded per cent., being now quoted 371 to 38, while the Loan of 1858 has improved to a' like extent, standing at 69 to 4. The Loan of 1864 is without change, at 82 to 83, ex div. ; and the scrip of 1862, at Ito 1 prem. Venezuelan scrip remains at 3to 31 prem. Portuguese scrip at 21 to / prem. ; Peruvian scrip at 2 to 11 die. ; and the Egyptian Loan, first issue, at 881 to 894. Italian Five per Cents. are heavy and lower. The old Vene zuela Bonds continue to meet with attention. Transactions are reoorded as follows:—Egyptian Seven per Cents., paid up scrip, 89 ; Italian Five per Cents., for account, 711, g ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for account, 984 ; Portuguese Three per Ceuta., scrip, 24 prem. ; ditto paid-up, 461; Russian scrip, 11, 4 prem. ; ditto paid-up, 951 ; Spanish Passive, 211; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 821, ex div. ; ditto 1858, for account, 691,;, 1 ; ditto 1001. Bonds, 734 ; ditto scrip, prem. ; ditto paid up, 681, 4 ; Venezuela Three per Cents., for account, 291, 30, 294. Hairs-rum Two o'Ctoon. Consols are quoted 93,1, "buyers," for money, and 931 to f for the amount. There was again • good demand for money yes terday, 2 per cent. being generally asked on good bills. The business at the Bank of England has increased, and should the withdrawals of gold from that establishment continue, the question of an ad vanoe of per cent. in the rate will probably come under discussion. The twelfth half-yearly dividend (10s. per cent.), which became due on Ecuador Bonds on the Ist Nov. last, is announced as payable on the 31st inst. About 123,000/ in gold was taken from the Bank yesterday for exportation, viz., 84,0001. in sovereigns, and 39,0001. in bars. The continuous withdrawals of gold from the Bank, principally on account of recent foreign loans, are beginning to excite more attention. The total of coin and bul lion in that establishment, however, is still about 16,000,0001,, while 669,0001. is on the way from Australia, and considerable remittances are ex pected from America. The Borussia, from New York, has brought only 2,000/. in specie for England, but 26,0001. for France. The amount of specie engaged for transmission to the East by the steamer Ftipon, which will leave on the 20th inst., is 399,0731., of which 79,197/. is gold, and the residue silver. Government transmit 77,1871. in silver to China by this opportunity. Subjoined are the particulars, viz.:—For China, 202,5161. ; India, 87,4991. ; the Straits, 34,9601. ; Mauritius, 40,0001. ; Alexandria, 32,4681. ; and for Ceylon, 1,630/. The con tinental exchanges yesterday afternoon were scarcely so firm as on Tuesday. The rates for bills on Vienna were more in favour of Austria. Subjoined is our usual list : Amatordam, 3 months, 11.171 to ; ditto, 3 days, 11151 to 16 ; Rotterdam, 3 months, 11.171 to ; Ant werp, 3 mouths, 25.40 to 5 ; Hamburg, ma. baaco, tree months, 13.71 to 8 ; Paris, 3 days, 25.20 to 5 ; ditto, 3 months, 25.0 to 5 ; Frankfort-on-the-Maine, 3 months, 1191 to j ; Petersburg (per rouble), 3 months, 341 to 1 ; Vienna, off. do., 3 months, 12.45 to 55 ; Trieste, off. do , 3 mouths, 12.45 to 55; Madrid, 3 months, 49 to 1; Oadis, 3 months, 49 to ; Leghorn, 3 months, 25.521 to 71 Genoa, 3 months, 25.521 to 71; Milan, 3 months, 25.521 to 71 ; Napkin 3 months, 39j to ; Palermo, 3 months, 1191 to 1; Messina, 3 months, 1191 to 1; Lisbon, 90 days, 53 0 0 °Pork% 90 do" 521 to 63.

Natal Government Six per Cent. Debentures for 50,0001. were disposed of yesterday by public tender at the offices of her Majesty's Agents General for Crown Colonies. The tenders received amounted in the aggregate to 160,9001., at rates varying from 100 to 107. The minimum was fixed at 1031. The whole loan was taken at an average rate of 1051. 12s. 2d. The report of the directors of the Bahia Railway Company furnishes the satisfactory assurance that the railway will be opened throughout in the month of January next, and that the total expendi ture will be within the amount of guaranteed capital. The Caledonian Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 8171. The reoeipta of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada for the week ending the 27th Sept. were 18,8311. sterling, being 2,2541. more than in the corresponding week of last year.

The transactions in foreign stooks were to • fair extent, but the tone of the market was dull, and in no instance was any improvement observable in ' prices. Considerable activity continues to prevail in the market for bank shares, and the tendency of prices is still upwards.
