Denison, N.P., in pillaging the health of the Bishop of Lincoln at a dinner to celebrate the restoration of the county church a: Nottingham on Tuesday, said he might, perhaps, be (remitted to speak a few words on some of those topics which, at the present moment, pressed heavily on the muds of men—he alluded to subjects connected with the /Curd. (Hear, hear.) He hoped, however, they would :a: think he should travel very far on these points ; be sea not addressing a Pan-Anglican Synod, nor even an *limn one. (Laughter.) The few words he wished to Actress to them purely related to affairs in their own •iocese. The Lord Bishop of Lincoln was now engaged a making his visitation, rind he had in the course 1 it delivered a charge which he (the Speaker) considered a very remarkable one. (Hear, hear.) He desired to take this public opportunity of express log hearty and entire concurrence in the main positions that t r ee bishop had there laid down, and to thank him— :he charge being addressed both to laity and clergy—for giving utterance to views so able and so seasonable. (Hear, tear.) They would remember what the bishop said with regard to the increasing feeling of estrangement between the laity and the clergy. It was impossible that words like these, so spoken, should not sink deep into the minds of men. There was one particular point of such importance to many of those around him, who bad been fellow-workers of the bishop, that he could not refrain from touching upon it—that was the question of education. (Hear, hear.) Ac cording to the report he found the bi s h o p said. "Another divergence between clergy and laity was thre a tened by the education question. Two convictions seemed firmly fixed in the lay mind—first, that the children of the Lbouring classes must be more generally educated ; and secondly, that in all education the conscientious opinions of parents most be respected. So long as these two results were attainable under the denominational system, go long would that system be preferred and the state aid continued ; but should it appear that th e y were unattain able an entire alteration would be called for and effected, and religious teaching gradually eliminated from primary education throughout the country." Now so far as he (the Speaker) was able to gather up public opinion, he believed that those expressions were founded upon a just and pre sc i en t v i ew o f the future. (Hear, bear.) He knew very well the great value of the help afforded by the clergy in the matter of education, and bow highly im portant it was that their co-operation and assistance should continue to be secured. Let him expressly Bey that he had not the slightest desire to aggravate the diffi culties that existed, rather be wished to soften them ; and he believed that the positions of the bishop would be acquiesced in by the great body of the laity of the diocese, and that they would assemble under his lord ship's banner. Nor was it possible for him to suggest do ,bt that the great body of the clergy would also rally under that banner. (Hear, hear.) As he accepted the main eetumentative position of the bishop's charge, it was his wish to speak to this matter, as wax recommended by the bi.hop, in a spirit of charity, and only with the desire to ad and further co-operation and good-will amongst both c ergy and laity. (Hear.) They had a great work before t ; let the clergy and laity unite, and hand themselves toliether while there Will yet time to accomplish the task, sod jointly strive, so far as it was possible, to achieve the tis.tt work before them. (Hear, hear. . ) REMOVING A PIN FROM THE THROAT. —A few '43 . ° ago the daughter of a gentleman residing in the teighboarbood of Piccadilly fell asleep with a pin in her mouth. On waking up she was quite unable to swallow, the pin during the period of sleep having passed into the throat. Her father took her to a medical gentleman of Piccadilly, who at once referred the came to the Hospital for Diseases of the Throat, Golden-square. Fortunately, one of the physicians to the institution happened to be in attendance, and, with the aid of the laryngoscope, dis covered the exact position of the pin, which was speedily removed, to the great relief of the little sufferer. To the Poorer portion of the community this charity is always rawly to give advice at once. CRINTAL PALACE. ONE SHILLING DAT.— WEDNI ,, DAT.

The Patrie of this evening states that the troops now at Toulon will remain encamped there for the present, and that the vessels at anchor in the Toulon roads will also continue there provisionally. The steam corvette Caton will remain at Civita Vecchia, for the purpose of taking observations. The same journal, referring to the new Italian ministry, affirms that the portfolios of War and Foreign Affairs will be assumed by General Cialdini, and those of the Interior and of Justice by General Durando and Signor Depretis respec tively. The Patric also says :—" It is asserted that General Garibaldi arrived on Monday at Florence, staying there a few hours, and that he made a speech (in presence of some of his friends) violently attacking the French government and King Victor Emmanuel." NORTH GERMANY. BERLIN, Oer. Zl. It is believed that th 3 indisposition from which Count Bismarck is suffering will not prevent him from taking part in the important parliamentary debates which are still to come off previous to the close of the session. The conferences relative to the proposed postal convention with the Southern States and with Austria are progressing very favourably. BERLIN, OCT. Z 3, Evsnica. The King arrived here at 11 this morning. His Majesty presided at 1 o'clock at a ministerial con ference at the Foreign-office. The postal convention between North Germany and the United States was signed yesterday. Aus tria, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, and Baden are ready to join the treaty. To-day the North German parliament passed the Budget for 1867 almost unanimously and without debate. PRUSSIA'S FOREIGN RELATIONS. BERLIN, Ocr. 23, EvExixa. The Official Gazette of this evening says, "The attitude of the North German Gazette, with refer ence to pending foreign questions, has, according to advices from abroad, once more given rise to misunderstandings. We therefore again repeat that the journal named receives no official inspira tion whatever with regard to the foreign policy of Prussia. This government, moreover, is not in the habit of declaring its policy to foreign cabinets, or making it public by means of anonymous news paper articles." The Official Gazette also says, "The foreign press publishes a statement that the Florence cabinet, as also the Italian party of action were, by means of a distinct assent on the part of Prussia, induced, the latter to go to Rome, and the former to prepare to subsequently participate in the same enterprise. With reference to this statement we hereby declare officially that the Italian government never ex pressed a wish for such an assent either directly or indirectly, and that therefore such a wish could neither have been complied with nor refused." The ratifications of the convention with King George of Hanover have arrived here. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Om. ZI. To-day the Lower House of the Reicharath adopted the provisional marriage law, and ordered the committee to draw up a new bill on the sub ject, based on the principle that the marriage ce remony shall be quite independent of any church regulations.

At noon, yesterday, the Earl of Derby laid the foundation stone of • new Liverpool hospital intended to supersede the institution at present known as the " Southern Hospital," but which has been of late found far too small for the number of patients requiring ad mission. The site of the new building is in Hill-street, at the south end (1 the town, and considering the densely crowded character of the locality, • most advan tageous choice has been made, as the hospital will have • good open street on every aide. The total estimated cost of the new hospital is 35,0001., 24,10.51. of this sum being absorbed by the purchase of the land. The donations promised already retch 24,1* - 4., the greater part of this amount having been paid In, leaving 11,0001. still to be raised. The principal front of the hospital will be to Kill-street, presenting a frontage of 300 feet, and extending in depth 180 feet. There will be a centre and two end blocks. The former will contain the administrative department, with the operating theatre, chapel, board room, and writing and examination room. The end blocks, separated front the centre by spacious corridors east and west, will contain one large and one small ward each, with nurses' rooms, baths, patients' lifts to each floor, and every arrangement for the convenience and comfort of the patients. The pro posed accommodation will embrace 200 beds. it isexpected, from the great attention which will be paid to the con struction of the building and its sanitary arrangements, that the hospital will be one of the most complete and useful in the country. The building will be erected from the designs and under the superintendence of Mr. Cul shaw and Mr. Summers, of Liverpool. The ceremony yesterday attracted a very large number of spectators, the ladies appearing to take a very warm interest in the undertaking. A guard of honour was formed by the lit Lancashire Rifle Volunteers (of which Lord Derby is the colonel), and there were two volunteer bands in attendance. Lord Derby arrived shortly after twelve o'clock, accompanied by the Countess of Derby, Captain the lion. Frederick Stanley, Lady Constance Stanley, Colonel Wilbraham, and Miss Wilbraham. Upon the platform also were Messrs. T. B. Horsfall, M.P., J. Laird, M.P., S. R.Graves, M.P., the Bishop of Chester, the Bishop of Texas, Charles Turner, M.P., Yen. Arch deacon Jones, the Dean of Chester, Le. A letter of apology for absence had been received from Lord Stanley. Lord Derby on taking the chair was loudly and heartily cheered. Mr. G. H. HORRVALL, in the absence of Mr. E. Lawrence (chairman of the hospital committee), presented the trowel to his lordship, and, in the committee's name, requested him to lay the first stone. The Earl of DERBY having laid the atone with the usual formalities, said : Ladies and gentlemen, I have been re quested to say a few word, to you on the interesting occa aloe on which we are met thismoniing, and gmust request your indulgence, for really I am not capable of much physi cal exertion. But, indeed, the object for which we are met requites no argument or recommendation on my part. Charities of other descriptions may be objected to—as I know some have been—that, however benevolently in tended and admirable their objeect, they may have the effect of encouraging or fostering the very habits and vices which they are intended to relieve and obviate. Such objec tions have been made, for example, to foundling hospitals, to refuges, and even to soup-kitchens ; but with reptrd to this hospital there can be no such objection made. It is a charity at once large and comprehensive, embracing every sect, every denomination, every rank ; meeting the exigencies which are common to our human nature ; and impossible, if properly managed, to lead to the slightest abuse or objection. It may be, certainly, that in this hospital there may be treated cases of disease, delirium tremens, for example, brought on by intemperate habits ; but no man, I think, will imagine for a single moment that a person becomes • drunkard under the hope of being treated for delirium tremens in a Liverpool hospital; still less would any person volunteer to break a leg or an arm, or fracture his skull, for the purpose of going under the admirable treatment which, I have no doubt, he would receive here. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) No, gentlemen, the object of this hospital is, as you have been told, for the relief of bodily ailments of whatever description they may be ; it is for the relief of human suffering ; and that is an object which all persons must have an equal interest in who have the slightest feelings of humanity. We are not at this time to inaugurate a new institution or an un tried experiment. It is true we are laying the first stone of a new and more extended building, but we are only en. larging the benefits and advantages for many years derived from a hospital which has formerly existed, but on a more contracted scale, As the growth of this great town in creases, as population multiplies, it is natural t.) suppose— it is inevitable—that accidents and diseases must spread and increase in a corresponding proportion. I trust the time will never arise when, with the spread of population and with the increase of suffering, there will not be found abundant charity to meet the exigencies as they arise from time to time. (Hear, hear.) Now, ladies and gen. tlemen, how great is the necessity for enlarging the ex isting institution may be collected from one or two, and I will only trouble you with one or two, statements of particulars. In the year 1842, I think it was-25 years ago—that the Southern Hospital was in the first instance founded, and at that time it was thought to be sufficient to provide accommodation for 50 beds. Since that time, in twenty-five years, all of you, ladies and gentlemen, know what has been the growth of Liverpool, and, above all, what has been the vast increase of population in the immediate neighbourhood in which we now stand. But in the course of a very few years it was found necessary to increase the number of beds from 50 to 70, and subse quently they have been still further increased until, upon an emergency—l only say upon an emergency—the pre sent building can contain 106 patient'. But how has this been obtained? The enlargement was in the first in stance obtained by diminishing the necessary accommoda tion for servants and attendants—attendants who were absolutely indispensable for the benefit of the patients, and in the next place (and in a still more objectionable manner) by curtailing the amount of space, and, conse quently, the amount of air available for each patient, to the great injury of the hospital, and to the great prolongation of the diseases of the patients themselves. It has happened that upon some occasions the number of cubic feet of air to each inmate of the hospital has been considerably less than one-half of what those acquainted with sanitary matters consider to be indispensable to the health of the patients. Now, when you are obliged so to crowd a hospital that will accommodate • comparatively small number of persons, you are obliged to restrict each patient to less than half the amount of fresh air which is consi dered absolutely indispensable. I think I need say no more to show the urgent and pressing necessity there is for increased accommodation, and an enlargement of the building. It is intended that the building about to be erected shall contain accommodation for 200 patients; and I doubt not you will find the claims upon your charity, within a very short time, will come fully up to the prevision made for them. One cir cumstance I may mention, and I think it is most a:stelae factory: the vast proportion of persons who have not only derived benefit from the institution in its present form, but have gone away positively cured, and the very small proportion—the infinitesimally small proportion of persons who have died in the hospital. I take from memory the account of the last year of which I have seen any return, and in that year there were admitted of surgical cases only 4,300, and of those more than 4,000 were sent out of the hospital positively and absolutely cured ; and the total number of deaths out of the 4,300 admitted was only, I think, 17 or 67 ; and of the whole number introduced, while in that year the total number of deaths was 124, more than two-thirds of these 124 were persons who died within 24 hoursoftheiradmiasion into the hospital, whose cases were consequently from the first all but hopeless, and whom I think ought not to have been included in the list, while no less than 24 were eases which had been brought dead into the hospital, and which could hardly be expected to recover under the most ' s kilful treatment. (Laughter.) I think what I have said will be sufficient to enlist your sympathy, and aid if neces sary, in the establishment of this new institution. I know that the present moment is not a very favourable one for pressing the claims of • charity of any descrip tion upon the town of Liverpool, but I have seen in the prospectus of this building and the list of subscribers some munificent donations from those whose names are always foremost in the track of charity, and , who are generally almost always to be found prominent in putting themselves forward in every good work in this town. Ladies and gentlemen, you are probably aware that my interest in the town of Liverpool lies precisely at the opposite end, and not immediately in connection or com munication with this end of the town. Moreover, you will be quite aware that, although I may have a tolerably well filled puree, the demands upon it are neither few nor unim portant. I cannot pretend to rival the donations which have been given by some of the eminent merchants of Liverpool, many of whom take the deepest interest in this institution ; but if the committee will do me the honour of aocepting a donation of 1007. towards the funds of the hos pital, it will give me great pleasure to contribute that sum. (Cheers.) Itnow only remains for me to express the earnest hope that, by the blessing of God upon this building, it may long tend to the advantage of Liverpool, to the relief of human suffering, and may reflect credit upon those who have been engaged in its foundation. (Loud cheering.) Mr. C. TURNER, M.P., who was received with applause, said the duty now devolved upon him of returning a vote of thanks to Lord Derby for giving his powerful support to such an institution as this, designed for the relief of those who are suffering from being stricken down by sickness or by any of those casualties which continually occur to those who labour in our docks. In doing this his lordship still further endeared himself to this commu nity. After the fatigues and anxieties of an anxious ses sion of parliament, during which a large mea sure of much importance was carried to a suc cessful issue, after the painful illness from which he (the speaker) feared his lordship was still in some degree suffering, amidst the cares and anxieties which still devolve upon him as the head of the government, be thought Lord Derby might will plead exemption for further claims. But the same noble and generous spirit which impelled him at the time of the cotton famine to devote his wealth and his time to the welfare of the distressed had induced him to come there that day to lend his aid to the trustees of the South ern Hospital in their efforts to provide a new building for the sick and afflicted. He was sure aim agree with him as to the deep debt of pat - muds they all owed to the noble lord for his kindness on this and on every occa sion, and that they would now pass the resolution belied the honour to propose. wmcn was—"rrhat the thanks of the trustees of the Southern nospitol, and'of the public generally, be given to Lord Derby for his kindness in coming here to-day, and for the great kindness with which he devotes mimeo to tnu community on all ooca sions." (Applause.) Mr. .T. B. HORMULL, M.P., who was also much cheered, said he had very great pleasure in seconding the resolution which had been submitted by Mr. Chas. Turner, because he thought they would all agree with him that their noble mason had very efficiently discharged his duty there that day—(laughter)—and he almost ven tured to hope, remembering some remarks made recently at Manchester, that his lordship was a member of the masons' trade union—(laughter)—because that would be • guarantee to him that the union, at least, was founded upon safe and sound principles. He trusted that the vote would be received with enthusiasm, and that the noble lord would long be spared to be a blessing and a benefit to his country. (Cheers.) Lord DERBY, in reply, said—Allow me now, in one word, to express my deep sense of the thanks which are due to my honourable friends who have done me the honour of proposing and seconding this vote of thanks. I think it would be out of place if I were to enter upon any subject but that upon which I am present to-day. lam not here as a minister of the crown, but as one of your neighbours taking • deep interest in all that concerns your welfare, and as such I have hadgreat pleasure in attending here. (Cheers.) Mr. R. A. BIACFIE here called for three cheers for Madame Jenny Lind Goldsmidt, to whom, he said, they were indebted for the Nightingale wing of the present building, and the call was at once re sponded to. Lord Derby and his party then drove to the hospital, where they inspected the arrangements, and his lordship inscribed his signature in the visitors' book. The whole party then drove off to the Town-ball. When the ceremony was concluded, the mayor was the first to leave the ground, hastening to the Town-hall in order to be there to receive his guests when they arrived. His worship received his visitors in the west drawing room, whence they were conducted to the large ball room. In this magnificent apartment, which had been artistically decorated for the occasion, a luncheon was served. POLITD 'S AT SALISBURY.—SeveraI members of parliament were present, and made speeches at the mayor's dinner at Salisbury on Monday evening. Earl Nelson, who avowed himself a radical conservative, thought "the head men at the top of every profession" should have seats in the House of Lords.—Mr. T. Baring, M.P., was hopeful as to the results of the Reform Act ; however, " it was a matter of speculation, it could not be called • cer tainty until the experiment bad been tested."—Mr. H. D. Seymour, M.P., spoke of the Abyarinian expedition. He con sidered it necessary, and was sanguine as lo ita succesa.Abys rinia,he said, was not an unknown country, it was inhabited by a most interesting people—its records had been fully studied, and were nearly as well known as those of the county of Wilts.—Mr. Fraser Grove, ALP., on the Reform Act, said, though it was brought and carried by a conser vative government, nobody wax more gratified that it had pasted than himself.—Mr. Marsh, ALP., hoped that" the leap in the dark" which had been taken would prove a great success. If not a failure, it tr.ust be a success, be cause it must add, to a certain extent, to the garrison of the constitution, by bringing within its pale classes who were not within it before.—Mr. Hamilton (Mr. Marsh's colleague) spoke chiefly on local topics. The Bishop of Salisbury spoke several times, but not upon matters of public interest. THE IRISH EDUCATION QUESTION.—The Irish government are understood to be proceeding with the formation of the Commission of Inquiry on Education in Ireland. The commission will be so constructed as to include representatives of all sections of Irish educationists ranging from the church scriptural education party to persons of the extreme catho lic hierarchal school. It is probable that 'the views and interests of the former will be entrusted by the government to the care of the Bishop of Onion , (Dr. O'Brien), and that among those placed upon the inquiry in order to gain for it the confidence of the catholic party will be one of the most active of the professors of the catholic university. The preabyterians will in all likeli hood have for their representative Mr. James Gibson, chairman of one of the Irish county courts and now one of the commissioners of national education. The vacancies existing upon the board of education by the death of the late Bishop of Derry and the removal of the Rev. Dr. Hall, • presbyterian divine, to • spiritual charge in New York. are not being filled up pending the approaching investigation. Tho Poor-law Board having sanctioned the pur chase by the St. Pancras guardians of four and a half acres of land at Highgate on which to build an infirmary for the sick poor in the workhouse, • number of the guardians purpose visiting the infirmaries at Manchester and other places in the provinces in order to obtain in formation as to the plans, working, and other matters con nected with such institutions. It is proposed that 20,0001. or 25,000/. should be spent upon the building, and a limited number of architects are to be invited to send in plans for competition, but as the tenders of builders for such works often far exceed the estimate of the architects, it is proposed that it shall be a condition with the archi tect that he shall make no claim upon the guardians if be cannot find a respectable builder to carry out the works at the sum he estimates them to cost. _ - - -- THE FORTHCOMING MICHAELMAS TERM. —Tee terday, the lists of arrears for the common law courts for the ensuing term were prepared, and to-day (Thursday), at the termination of the long vacation, they will be exhi bited.

LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY (LIMITED). —Traffic receipts week ending Oct. 20,10,898!. Os. 2d. ADELPEU. A four-act play of strong criminal interest, by Mr. Watts Phillips, founded, so the playbills say, "on an incident in a story by M. Charles P. Bernard," was produced at this house last night, under the title of Maud's Peril. The story alluded to, we believe, is called "L'lnnocence Forcst," a little novelette, which has most of the characteristics of modern French fiction. In preparing this story, with modifications, for the English stage, Mr. Watts Phillips had doubtless two objects chiefly in view—to provide the Adeiphi with one of those dramas for which it used to have a London and provincial reputation, and to give Mr. Webster an opportunity of appearing in a character that is a compound of Bill Sykes, the " Softy," and several other criminal heroes who have earned a place in the new and enlarged edition of the Newgate Calendar. Mr. Webster during his long and active career as a manager and actor has often shown his skill in repre senting this class of characters, among many others, and it is a point to be noted in his favour that, while possessing the despotic power of a manager, be has given one of his actors, Mr. Belmore, the chance of distinguishing himself in such a repulsive but effective stage creation. Meads Peril, whatever may have been 1 the original intention of Mr. Watts Phillips, resolves itself irr representation into Toby Tsperloy's peril ; and Toby Tsperloy is an escaped convict, who probably ought to play a secondary part in the piece, but who pushes himself into the front rank owing to the exceptional force of the actor, Mr. Belmore. We know of no actor except Mr. Belmore now on the stage who, while possessing much of the humour which belongs to the professed low comedian, also possesses that degree of tragic power which distinguished the late Frederick Robson. Mr. Belmore, perhaps, wants the wonderful variety of voice and the rare richness of fancy which made Robson so remarkable amongst modern performers, buthe has already done enough to show that he is the most worthy of all the successors of this great tragi comic. actor. It is the fashion to glorify artistes, as they , are called, only after they have been dead more than a quarter of a century, and in 1&47 remarks like these about the late Mr. Robson will not, perhaps, appear quite se extravagant. The scenery and properties were most rich and tasteful, the first and third scenes being the best, and we were surprised to see that the painters, Messrs. T. Grieve and Sons, were not called for. Much less perfect, pretty, and well-set scenery, has called forth the wildest raptures at other houses. The theatre was full in every part, the Prince of Wales being in a private box, and the reception accorded to the play was somewhat cold and critical. eabill Ault iffilitarv. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 23.

INAUGURAL LECTURE ON SANS/MEL—The lately appointed professor of Sanskrit, Professor Edward Byles Cowell, delivered his inaugural lecture in the Arts School to-day. He reviewed the position held by Sanskrit in comps. ative philology, and the way in which the language and its literature throw light on times when the various families of the Indo-Germanic races were closely united. He dwelt upon some peculiarities of the Hindu Mind, and the way in which an acquaintance with Sanskrit literature would lead an European to comprehend them and treat them with consideration.

OPENING OF THE RIVER AMAZON WITH ITS TRIBU TARIES TO FREE COMMERCE.— On the 7th September, anni versary day of the independence of Brazil, the rivers Amazon, Tapajos, Tocantins, Madeira, Rio Negro, and Gram Para were declared open to the commerce of all nations. This event, so long looked forward to as the in auguration of • new epoch m the prosperity of the pro vinces of the Valley of the Amazons, was celebrated with great rejoicings in the city of Belem, the capital of Para, where after a Te Deunt in the cathedral and reception in the palace, President de Lamare, accompanied by the principal inhabitants, embarked at 11 a.m. in the war steamer Paraense, and accompanied by several river steamers proceeded to the junction of the waters in the Bay of Marajo, where the ceremony of the opening was performed. His Excellency and party were transferred on their return voy age to the war corvette Nictheroy, which by en accident was prevented from accompanying the Beet in the forenoon, and about eight o'clock p.m. landed in Para, finding the city brilliantly, and in many instances taste- I fully, illuminated. (In the Bth a ball was given in the palace, to whichabout 1,000 of the elite were invited ; and on the 9th the rejoicings were wound up by a display of fireworks in the palace square, which were costly and really well arranged. The illuminations were throughout successful, upwards of 25,000 gas jets being employed, the cost for the three nights being not much under 1,500 P., ' from which an idea may be formed of the total expense incurred. Altogether a considerable stir was created in this usually rather quiet corner of the globe ; and it is to be hoped it will be the forerunner of such an impetus to trade as will, when looking bank in future years, make the bustle of these busy days appear quietness when com pared with the usual business of the place. SINGULAR DEATH OF A CHILD. —An inquest Wait held at the Infantry-barracks, Salford, on Saturday, on the body of Sarah Ann Watts, three and a half years of age, daughter of • private of the 57th Regiment. The father and mother of the child stated that on Wednesday night the mother brought a quantity of whisky into their apartments in a bottle. A portion of it was drunk by them that night, and about a gleeful was left in a tum bler, and the remainder in the bottle. In the morning the child got out of bed, saying it was going to get • drink, and immediately after the parents saw it put down the tumbler in which the whisky had been emptied. The assistant surgeon to the regiment stated that the mother had told him that the child had drank two wine glassfuls of spirits. The child was insensible when he saw it, and in that state it remained for a number of hours, when it was seized with convulsions and died next morning. The jury found a verdict to the e ff ect that the child had died from spirits taken by its own hand. SHOCKING CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.

HOUGHTON MEETING. WEDNESDAY. Compared with yesterday the proceedings on the heath to-day were regarded with apathy, and in the streets this morning there was comparative quiet, whilst at the rooms nothing was done beyond the adjustment of a few accounts. The sensational race for the Cambridge- I shins, however, formed a fruitful theme of conversation I before a move was made for the heath. Nothing could exceed the loveliness of the weather, especially during the latter part of the afternoon. when the setting sun i mparted to the heath quite a summer 's 'bees and glow. The only two note worthy incidents in connection with the sport were the victory of Michael de Basco in the Glasgow Stakes, who at the distance appeared to be completely beaten, but taboo quently displayed great gameness by coming again and winning cleverly. Another feature was the reappearance I of Wells in Sir Joseph Hawley's colours, and certainly the famous jockey never displayed finer horsemanship than on this occasion, as the race was undoubtedly won by the rider's masterly skill.
