.4 Drama. ADEL.IIII. It seldom falls to our lot to record the production of a mare peculiar, original, bad, good, and disagreeable drama than one in four acts that was performed for the fret time as Saturday night at the Adelphi Theatre, under the tide of Med, or Only a Life. We have long ceased to aspect anything like honesty and fair dealing from adapters SSA MEOWS. in acknowledging the real authors Se half the plays produced, and are, therefore, not am rimed that we are left in the dark as to the antisorsbip of KW. A hint was given to a select few in the theatre that the pie,. was translated from a French work that had beau rejected st half the Paris houses, and as it contains so "incidental ballet," and gives no opportunity for the display of groups of half-naked women and tons of spectacular gewgaws and tinsel, we can easily believe the Meer. Judging, however, from internal evidence, we see no reason why Ethel should have sprung from French soil, but should guess that it was the work of an English woman who had tasted the bitterness of governess life in England, and, with a temper soured by slights, deceit, condescending patronage, vulgar insults, poverty, and al l that a lonely woman of education, decency, and refine ment has to suffer in the struggle to get food and cloth iag without prostitution, bad written a sarcastic novel, sad afterwards turned it into a drama. The general excellence, however, of the character-draw ing in Ethef is shown by the unusual excellence of the acting at the Adelphi. The actors have good materiel to work upon, and they do justiceto it. The story is slight, but truth fuL An orphan girl, named EthelChatteris, is the governess In the family of • retired linendraper named Wordley. In this position she is persecuted by the attentions of Word ley's son, who promises her marriage when he finds that a less honourable proposition would not be acceptable. The prospect of being something less dependent than a go verness appears to have an effect upon her, and without any raptures of affection she considers the proposition. Old Wordley overhears all this, and discharges her on the spot, but she is befriended by a rich widow, who was once a shop woman of Wordley's, and who, having been deceived by young Wordley before she was married, and treated with contempt by the father, resolves to annoy the whole family in every possible way. The son mak es his peace with the father, and the father warns the governess of the son's Intentious in the way before described, but not before Ethel has received an offer of marriage from a Dr. Langdale, an old friend, who is beloved by Xthel's late pupil, Miss Wordley. Ethel believes herself engaged to young Wordley, and there fore declines the doctor's offer for the present, though she now thinks she loves him the best of the two, and by the time she has discovered the presumed villany of young Wordley, the doctor, believing himself rejected, is on his way to India. Ethel now becomes poorer and poorer ; ii persecuted for rent by a sturdy greengrocer, and with an offer of marriage from a rich old man, whose messenger of love is a dressmaker. In this position she is befriended by an outspoken niece of Wordley's who was once a servant — and a very troublesome servant—in the house of the retired draper, and is visited by the rich widow, who announces her intention of marrying young Word ley, if Ethel has no objection, because both father and son have been ruined by the panic of 1866, and she wishes to enjoy the luxury of patronising those who once patronised her. Ethel is too proud to accept any favours • from rich friends, and in her extremity she gladly accepts a night's engagement to play the piano at a party at South Kensington. The house happens to be the rich widow's, and there abe meets Dr. Langdale in the way before de. scribed, is overjoyed to see that he has returned from India until &hc learns that he has married Miss Wordley, and then dies at the piano of disease of the heart—a diaease that 'has been frequently alluded to in the course of the drama. The rather morbid ending of this play may or may not be an obstacle to its success with • public who some times strain at gnats of this kind when they swallow camels like the Hidden Hand. The character painting and acting, however, in Ethel ought to carry through a much feebler story. Miss Terry has never been seen to greater advantage than in the poor governess. It is almd-t im possible to euumeratethe many admirable points in her act ing, or to marvel too much how she produces such effects with a thin and unsympathetic voice and a face that is not particularly open. Her broken nervous voice and manner when suddenly discharged by Mr. Wordley, her bewilder. went during the father's explanation of his son's dis honourable intentions, her subsequent indignant interview with the son, her joy at again meeting with Dr. Langdale, her blank despair and terror when be, not knowing that she loves him, is explaining how he cured what he calls his hopeless passion, her pianoforte playing after she finds that Miss Wordley is his wife, and her sudden death are all efforts of the highest acting—tragedy without stilts. }Sir worse dramas have been made popular by far worse acting, and if the third act, which is essentially a woman's at, and blown out with " nagging," is reduced consider. eily, if one or two uncalled for political allusions are cut out, and if the prominent super who strikes an attitude in the death scene, as he struck an attitude in " Rip van Winkle," and has struck attitudes in • dozen Adelphi dramas for years past, is superannuated, Ethel may yet see a long and prosperous existence. Mr. Benjamin Webster, jun., came on and bowed when a call, not unresisted, was made for the author ; but no other information was given us as to the authorship of this remarkable drama. DRURY LANE. The competitive examination for Macbeths is still going on nt this theatre, and Mr. H. Talbot, the third candidate within a fortnight, made his first appearance on Saturday before a large and friendly audience. PANIC IN A THEATRE.—OD Saturday last a fright occurred in McVicker'e Theatre, Chicago, which came near resulting in a fearful tragedy. The gauze used over the flies for the purposes of producing different light effects caught tire, went up in a puff of flame, and some of the smoking portions came down on the stage. Some of the audience saw them fall and shouted " tire." Immediately they were seized with such a panic as can only be occa rioned by an alarm of fire in a crowded building. The shrieking of women and the cries of the men soon told of the dreadful crush which was taking place. There was for a time the utmost alarm felt by all, not so much on account of the dreaded conflagration as of the casualties which threatened to occur in the passages. Mr. McVicker came forward to the footlights and earnestly implored the excited audience to ha still, assuring them that there was no fire in the building. After some time the panic began to subside, and eventually order was restored, no accident having occurred, a circumstance which seemed to be almost miraculous, —New York Time*, Sept. 27. FATAL ACCIDENT AT CHATHAM.—At a late hour on Saturday evening a deplorable accident occurred at Chatham to Mr. Johu Shap ey King, a young man about 17 years of age. eldest son of Dr. J. King, principal staff surgeon at Chatham Dockyard, who met with his death through falling over the deep trench surrounding Chat ham garriaou, at that part of the fortifications near the Cornwallis battery and Fort Ainhurst. The unfortunate deceased, who had recently received an appointment as assistant clerk on board the Fisgard, 42, flagship, at Wool wich, had arrived on a visit to his father in Chatham Dockyard on Saturday afternoon, and about 8 o'clock in the evening went out for a walk with an acquaintance named Cooke, sun of the Bev. D. Cooke, of Trinity Church, Brampton. They were shortly afterwards joined by two young women of their acquaintance, and the whole pro ceeded in the direction of the residence of Mr. Cooke. passing along the rear of Chatham Barracks, the path skirting the deep trench from which it is protected by a fence. After pro fteding a short distance Mr. King remained behind, telling his companions to proceed. The night was then very dark, and nothing more was seen or heard of him until about a quarter of an hour afterwards, when a corporal of the Royal Marines and a woman who were passing near the spot, were attracted by hearing loud groans proceeding from the bottom of the trench. The woman at once ran after the companions of Mr. King, while the corporal pro ceeded to the barracks to acquaint the guard. On lights being obtained and the trench examined, the deceased was found lying at the bottom quite insensible, with a severe fracture of the skull and other injuries. A stretcher was immediately procured, on which he was placed, and con veyed to Melville Hospital, where he died in about a couple of hours after his admission. The gold watch and chain belonging to the deceased were found lying at the bottom of the trench, and it would seem probable that the deceased had intended to rejoin his companions by a short cut, and that having got over the fence for that purpose, he missed his way in the dark and walked into the trench, which at the spot is very near to the footpath. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH WESTERN RAILWAY. — A serious accident happened on the South Western line at the Andover and Basingstoke Junction on Friday night. A goods train was proceeding on the main line, and one en the Andover line, and to prevent their coming in con tact at the junction it was the duty of the signalman to stop one of the trains. Through a defect in the signalling apparatus, however, it did not act, and the consequence was that • collision took place, by which a number of =no were thrown off the line, and several sheep were The traffic was delayed considerably.

A numerously-attended meeting of railway 'ser vants was held last evening in the Metropolitan Music hall, Edgware-road, for the purpose of considering the de sirability of joining the Railway Working Man's Provident Benefit Society, and discussing various matters affecting their interests as an important class of the community. Mr. Dunford, the secretary of the South Western Railway Lodge of the society, occupied the chair. He said that the society by which the meeting . had been convened was founded for the degraded of raising railway servants from their present position, and placing them on an equality with ot her working men. A protection fund had been opened in connexion with the society, and he strongly recommended those present to contribute to it. In addition to other benefits, it gave 10s. per week for ten weeks to men who were thrown out of employment owing to unfore seen circumstances, or in consequence of some slight offence, and it also gave 251. to the families of rail way servants who met with sudden deaths while iu the execution of their duties. The benefits anticipated trout the formation of the permanent fund were an in crease of the present rate of wages and a reduction of the hours of labour, and membership was consequently of the most vital importance to all railway servants who by com bination wished to obtain their legitimate rights. They did not contemplate a strike, but they wished by a proper mode of action to bring theirclairns before the employers. At pre sent they .lid nut require a larger weekly increase on their wages than 25., but they wanted to do away with gra. tuitous overtime, to work but ten hours daily, and to be aid a week's wages for six , instead of seven, days' work. The labour impeded on them was beyond endurance, and, as an instance of the work often required of them, he would mention the case of a guard in the service of the South Western line, who, on • recent occasion, was employed twenty-seven hours without having re ceived the slightest relief. The opposition which was offered to the demands of railway servants came entirely from intermediate officials, who had a selfish interest in denying the men their just rights. Mr. C. B. Vincent,the founder of the Railway Working Man's Pro vident Society, addressed the meeting, end detailed the results of his experience among railway servants. He stated that he knew of a guard in the employment of the Midland Railway having worked eight days and eight nights without having gone to bed, and he had seen others who had worked three days and three nights without relief in the service of the same com pany. It was also a fact that engine-driven, in conse quence of being overworked, often lay asleep on the foot plate of the engine while the train was in motion ; and that ou awaking they only knew where they were by observing sonic familiar spot on the route. The speaker appealed to the meeting for corroboration of the state ments he had made, and several of those present, by cries of " Right, right !" testified to their truto. A resolution approving of the objects of the society, and pledging the meeting to support it, was unanimously agreed to. THE REBLE MEMORIAL.—We are glad to learn that the efforts which are being made to build and endow a college at Oxford in the name of the late author of the "Christian Year" is receiving the respowie which it de serves, although much remains to be done, and no one who has had reason to value the " Christian Tear" should fail to assist, by a subscription according to their means, in this public expression of the admiration and honour in which the 13N1110 of John Keble must always be held. Messrs. }ferries and Co. are receiving subscriptions. MEDICAL STUDENTS.—It is stated that aince the Ist inst., when the medical session commenced and the metropolitan hospitals were re-opened fur their recep tion, nearly one thousand medical students have entered ou their studies. This number is exclusive of those pur suing their studies in the provincial schools. MODEL DWELLINGS FOR THE POOR.—The dean and chapter of Christ Church, Oxford, have now in course of erection near the Hormel, in the parish of Mt. Thomas, in that city, a block of model buildings for the poor. The blick consists of twelve residences, in flats, three stories high, there being four separate dwellings on each floor. Each dwelling is complete in itself, is approached from an open staircase, has one sitting-room, scullery, water-closet, ash-pit, sink, separate supply of water from a cistern, which is independent of the water-closet supply, and three be,lrooius. The buildings are well designed, being strongly built and fitted with every convenience, and afford a striking contrast to the wretched habitations which previously occupied the site. THE INNS OF COURT HOTEL COMPANY.—At the adjourned meeting of the Inns of Court Hotel Com pany (Limited), Lehi today (Thursday), Mr. W. L. °third, one of the special committee appointed at the last meeting, stated that of the 10,0001. required to carry on the company for the next twelve months, ti,2471. had been subscribed, and that he felt sanguine as to the ultimate success of the hotel. The chairman (Mr. G. W. Cox) stated that as yet no arrangement had been come to with the contractors, to whom some 14,000/. was due, but that he and the directors bad every hope that they in their own interests would accede to the terms offered. He also said about 20,0001. would be required to complete and furniah the unfinished portion of the hotel ; and that in the event of the present arrangements not being carried out, an extraordinary general meeting would be called at an early date to consider the expediency of winding up the company.—Soliciters' Journal. R EF USAL TO CONSECRATE A CEMETERT.—A good deal of commotion hen been caused in the town of Batley, near Dewsbury, by the refusal of the Lord Bishop of Ripon to consecrate a cemetery there situate, which has just been completed at • cost to the parish of 16,000/. The Vicar of Batley, the Rev. Andrew Cassell', M.A., hes had • dispute with the Batley burial board about the amount of fees to be charged for tombs and interments in the cemetery. The inhabitants decided that the vicar's charges should be regulated by an ancient terrier, which fixes the fee for a monument or headstone at 3s. 4d. ; whereas the vicar has been charging from one to six the guineas for every headstone erected. These charges, vicar, 'su pported by the bishop, contends he has a right to trans fer to the new cemetery. The burial board have taken counsel's opinion on the matter, and it is stated that the vicar is only entitled by law and custom to charge the fee mentioned in the ancient terrier. The bishop has peremp torily refused to consecrate the cemetery until the matter is settled, and the burial bawd, acting on behalf of the inhabitants, are going to BC:t i er a mandamus to compel his lordship to dom.—She rid Indelorndeat. FATAL FALL OF A WALL AT POPLAIL— On Saturday Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, held an in quest on George Harrington, aged 14, who lost him life &r , ough the fall of the wall of the Regent's Dry Dock, in the West Ferry-road, Poplar. It was stated that the dock in question was in course of repair, and the earth dug out had been piled up against the wall. A juror said the dock proprietors had often been warned of the dangerous state of the wall. The inquest was adjourned for further evidence. /parting inteiligtnet. THE LATE NEW3IARKET MEETING. tol Belie TO THE EDTTOR OF TH ILIPMFB. Sra,—Lecturer has broken the spell that for years past hung over the beet horses running in the Cesarewitch, for he carried home his 7st 31b in a style to prove himself of as high a class as anything that run in the race, Regalia and Rama notwithstanding, and displayed that a - known good horse could be handicapped so as to have a fair chance. The highly-tried light weights were neither first nor second, the clever people behind Prose:- pine, Bradamante, Jollity, Potomac, La Favorite, Dubiety, Chepstow, and Endsleigh discovering themse lves wofull y mistaken by the result of the race--that is, supposing they were in earnest in what they said, a matter I am some what suspicious about as regards Chepstow, who, with Po tomac and La Favorite, appeared amiss. At any rate, it is strange that Glb over-weight should have been carried by a favourite in a two mile-and-a:quarter race, with only • stable-boy in the saddle, and its to be hoped the public have had enough by this time of " forestalling ' Mr. Graham in the market. Regalia and Caithness did not look much better than Chepstow, the trio having evidently been over-trained ; hence it is not surprising Mr. G. should again (for the third time in sixteen months) change his trainer. A more startling change was talked about at Dane bury before the Cesarewitch race ; but the signal victory of Lecturer, • great triumph for John Day, will . probably have made things pleasant, all the stable winning good stakes, and the Marquis of Hastings a " raker." The " party" were in luck all the week, carrying off nearly every coup they went for ; and it is thus not surprising there should have been some " excessive gambling" after the big race. • The selling plates and sweeps—worth scarcely • farthing in the pound of the money that was betted about them by half a dozen of the " gentlemen "—were specu lated upon to an extent positively frightful, it being gene rally understood that a wager of 1,0001. to 5001. taken about a horse for a selling race not worth 1001.—the ner to be sold for 15M—was only made with an idea of deceiving the layers, so that the thousands could be bett er got on " the right , pea !" Such a desperate game as this must play itself out, and very shortly too, let us hope, or the morale of the turf will descend to a very low ebb in deed. That it doer not stand too high just now was in stanced by the conduct of Mr. Chaplin, a gentleman of unimpeachable integrity, with reference to a dead heat run by one of his animals, which he would not allow to contest the " decider" simply because he stood to win most money on his opponent's horse ! Now there were scores of people interested in the success of his representa tive who naturally thought, after the dead heat, that the usual course of a division of the stakes end bets would take place, or that the competitors would run off, and their ideas were so freely expressed when they learned the worst, as was the disgust of nearly all parties present, that Mr. Chaplin saw the error he had made, and, what is more, admitted it, in • letter remarkable as much fur its simplicity as candour. But there was no chance of remedying the mischief done the favoured one having walked over and claimed the stakes , and the only consolation the unfortunate backers of Purchase have is that they were sold by mistake—such mistake, however, as would not have been made by a member of the Jockey Club 20 years ago, although it is not inexcusable in our time, when nearly all that gentle men have to learn to become grandees of the turf is how to invest their thousands on a race between horses not worth 501. a-head, running for " prizes " that would be scarcely worth winning at Barnet Fair. While such a state of things exists, it is not to be wondered at that a verdant patron of the national pastime should, in the whirl and excitement of • busy gambling day on Newmarket Heath, commit the error of supposing the betting book to be the Divinity that should shape his con duct. The " gentlemen " had none the worst of the battle with the bookmakers throughout the meeting, though Achievement did lose both her races, as they had an inkling beforehand that this extraordinary two-year-old had become a " roarer," and hence the number of her opponents was greater than originally expected, rich as were the stakes she was in. She had e i g ht against her for the Clear-well, and upon my pet Plaudit devolved the honour of lowering the " chevrons" for the first time, the performance stamping him • Derby horse in every sense of the word, especially after Pericles. only a bad third to him, had won the Prendergast on Friday from Knight of the Garter, the Palmer, Vauban, Soo. It is a pity Major Kwon was not induced to ran Plaudit for the Plate, as he might have beaten Achievement again, despite his having to meet her on 41b worse terms, for thee nger and severer course was all against the " roarer," and it must not be supposed, because he beat her so much further than Plaudit, that the Rake, great horse as ho is, showed supe rior form of the twain. The north-countryman, too, will improve much more by next year than the southern, and if his legs will only stand training, woe to those who shall dare to stand against Plaudit nextllerby Day. The Palmer, who was understood to have improved so much since Ascot, ran a 211 b inferior horse instead, and Knight of the Garter did not run nearly so well for the Prendergast as he did for the Middle Park Plate ; nor was Achievement, apart from her having turned roarer, quite up to the mark ; so that the Houghton Meeting may yet cause some further revolutions in the status of the crack two-year-olds. Great attention will be paid to these after the decision of the Cambridgeshire Handicap, a great race the Cesarewitcli leaves very open, with no Lecturer or Lothario engaged although Proserpine, Actwa, Dulcimer, Jollity, and ). stow did run fast enough on Tuesday last to appear among the " formidables," if their owners mean business. This event will entirely engross attention during the current week, the " racing fixtures" for which are not of the slightest general import.—l am, Sc., METEOR. BETTING IN LONDON.--SarcarlaY. The return of members from their Newmarket sojourn was signalised by a large attendance and an evident deter mination to lose no time in speculating upon the lost great handicap of the season. When business opened the odds of 1,000 to 80 were offered on the field for the Cambridge. shire,and p r esently,after some show of mystery, Abergeldie was backed at that price, and no more than 11 to 1 was afterwards in the market. Chepstow was the next in demand, and met with support at 13 to 1, but the demon stration in bin favour was a mild one. Against Ambition there were offers of 1,000 to 70 without • response, while at a point more Scarborough was firm, as indeed this horse has been from the commencement. The preference shown to Abergeldie had the effect of driving his stable com panion, Proeerpine, back to 1,000 to 60, but if to 1 had been offered, several investments would have been made in her favour. Acts& had a strong party behind her who accepted all the 2 1 0 s to 1 and asked for more. Master Richard was not in very good odour, for although early in the morning he had been freely backed at the establishment further eastward at 20 to 1, in the "Upper House " five points were readily ob tainable, and at this price he wee subsequently friendless. Nevertheless, an influential bookmaker backed him against Abergeldie for a thousand, and against Ambition for a thousand, with the proviso of " both to run." The Star was industriously inquired after, and backed at 30 to 1. and the same price was laid against Moldavia, after 1,000 to 40 had been accepted, the horse having anything but • healthy appearance. The case of his stable-companion, Zenobta, was even worse, the odds against her gradually expanding with a caoutchouc-like elasticity until 1,000 to 15 was offered, amid cries of "poor Zenobia !" The three French candidates, Affidavit, Charmette, and Etoile Filante were severally hacked by the same commissioner at 1,000 to 30, he afterwards accepting 30 to 1 about the first named. Jollity, who • week since was going to do such wonderful things, but didn't, was friendless at 1,000 to 30. Flenrette and Life Guardsman had each 40 to 1 offered against them, but 1,000 to 20 would have been taken about the latter. There were but few fancies among the outsiders, Claxton and Lozenge being honoured with a few investments, while Holstein brought up the extreme rear at the long range shot of 2,000 to 10. There was a good deal of place betting, Actaa figuring conepicuously in this department, and Abergeldie, Ambition, andChep stow each meeting with a considerable amount of support for the same contingency. The price taken about each was 4to 1. No Derby betting took place.

LEICESTER, OCT. 13.-There was a fair quantity of wheat, and samples came to hand in rather better condition. Business was firm, and all good qualities were as dear ma last week.

NEWCASTLE-ON-TTNE, Ocr. 13.-At our market this morning, owing to our fanners being busy in the fields, we had an extremely scanty show of wheat, condition and quality wretched in the extreme, and it sold at very irregu lar rates. Fine new south country and foreign were held very firmly, and the depression of Tuesday eau fully recovered. Flour had rather more tone. Choice malting barley in steady request ; secondary varieties difficult to quit ; grind ing unchanged. Old beans and peas inquired for. Oats in good demand, at fully last week's prices.

The supply of barley was liberal, and for the finest malting qualities extreme rates were given ; se condary and inferior qualities ruled about the same as of late. Little doing in other articles.

Sarah Brame was charged with stealing 1301. in gold and silver, the property of Thomas Bailey, a hawker of whips, who lived in the same house with the prisoner and her husband, in Falcon-court, High-street, Borough. On Saturday morning, the 29th ult., the prosecutor had locked up in a tea-caddy 1301. in gold and silver. The caddy was locked up in a boa under his bed, and when he went out ho locked his bedroom door and took the key away with him. In consequence of what was told him by Mrs. Donovan, a woman also living in the same house, be returned home about nine o'clock, and found his door and his box and tea-caddy all broken open, and his money gone. He immediately told the prisoner of his loss, and she said, " Never mind ! hold your tongue. If any one brings you back 1001. 1 suppose you won't mind the 30/. " Witness said he should be very glad of it. He afterwards gave the prisoner into cusy on the statement of Mrs. Donovan that she believed to th d e prisoner had tin money. He was, however, sorry to do so, as she had beet very kind to him. She knew he bad the money, for Bill had counted it over for him not long before. Catherine Donovan, en old Irishwoman, stated that on the 29th ult. after the prosecutor had left she heard a noise at his room, and she opened her door, which was on the same landing, and distinctly saw the prisoner break open the prosecutor's door with a screwdriver. She then saw bei break open the box under the bed and the tea-caddy, fro', which she took something heavy and carried it to hi own room. A detective who had examined the premises said that none of this story now deposed to by Mrs. Donovan was told him at the time he was in the house, although she was in the room with him. He did not think from the position of Mrs. Donovan's room that a person could see what she described in the prosecutor's room. After hearing further evidence, Mr. Burcham said, after carefully investigating ti case, he was of opinion that the story told by Mrs. Do novan was a fabrication from beginning to end, and s there was no other evidence than hers against the p( she would therefore be discharged. THE G tJILDFOItDMAGISTRATES AND THE BRIO HTOi RAILWAY COMPANY.—Before the Surrey county magis. trates on Saturday Arthur Benningfield, of 32, Halford. street, Pentonville, London, was summoned for assaultir James Perry, the station-master at the Cranky station t the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. Mr . Carpenter, the chief of the police ou the railway, said that on the Bth of September the station-master at Cranley wa assaulted under the following circumstances:—Mr. Bet ningfield was smoking in the waiting room, and this bet against one of the bye-laws of the company the static master asked him to desist. Upon this request being ma the defendant made use of very offensive language. Tb station-master, standing with his hands behind his coat, pointed out the impropriety of the defendant doing so, when defendant made no more ado but stmt him in the face, making his nose bleed, and cutti his lip. Three days afterwards, however, Mr. Benningfiei apologised to the station-master, and expressed his regret that he should for the moment have so far forgotten hi self. Under these circumstances the railway company; instructed him to withdraw from the prosecution. Chairman : You are not the prosecutor. Mr. Carpent I gave instructions for the company that this summa should be taken out. The Clerk : The station-master here himself, and wishes to take the same course. ' Chairman : Of (aurae the servant of the company wit to do what the company wants him. The defendant apologises, and the company listen to him because he is 1 gentleman. Had he been a man who could offer no pecu niary remuneration perhaps we should have heard no thing about the apology. I think if the Brighton Com pany, or any other company, wish to protect their - vants, they should let the law take its course, and tamper with the ends of justice. Mr. Carpenter said was simply carrying out his instructions. The Chairmi Well, we wish you to convey the opinion of the bend the directors of the Brighton Railway, and say that think it is a disgraceful thing on their part not to . forward and protect their servants. A somewhat novel occurrence took place on Satur day, at the Liverpool Police-court, where Mr. Edward Law. rence, ex-Mayor of Liverpool, and conservative candidate at the last Lancaster election, had been summoned to take his seat on the bench, having recently been appointed a magistrate by the present government. At the time the appointment was made it was the subject of comment in some of the local journals, and the evidence given at Lan caster in connection with Mr. Lawrence's candidature was brought under the notice of the Earl of Devon, the Chan cellor of the Duchy. On this, Lord Devon wrote to some of the London papers, to the effect that the matter had not escaped his notice, and that he would take some action upon it. Seeing this, Mr. Lawrence made his appearance in the police-court on Saturday, but declined to take a seat on the bench, saying that for the present he did not feel justified in doing anything which might embarrass the government. The magistrates on the bench expressed their regret that Mr. Lawrence felt bound to act as he did, and expressed a hope that he would, sooner or later, take his seat as a magistrate alongside of them. THE RAILWAY FROM CALAIS TO BOULOGNE. —A letter from Calais, in the Propagattur du Nord, says : " The inauguration of the railway between this town and Boulogne is scarcely likely to take place on the 15th, as announced. The heavy rains during the greater part of September occasioned several land slips on the section between Marquise and Boulogne, and delayed the com pletion of the works. The opening of the line is therefore generally expected to be delayed, and, according to infor mation which we have received, will probably not take place before the end of 1866 or the commencement of 1867." THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—Fair deliveries of herrings have been made by the Great Yarmouth boats during the past week. Prices have ranged, according to freshness and quality, at from 9/. to 201. per last (13,209 fish). Frrm Lowestoft it is stated that one Kesaingland boat has made nearly 2001., while others have made good catches. NEW TREATMENT or CHOLERA.—" During the last ten or twelve days," says the Propagate-or of Lille, " the large woollen establishment of MM. Dillies, brothers, at Roubaix, has received 65 cholera patients, all of which have recovered by the following means :—The patient is taken into a room in which are heat-generators. There he is stripped and wrapped up in an immense quantity of raw wool, until be is, so to speak, in a bath of perspiration. At a height of two yards and a hall, a trap is opened to let the vapour escape, and to renew the air. The patient, however desperate his state, speedily begins to feel better, and the vomiting and evacuations gradually cease. At the factory of Holden and Co., at Croix, a similar result has been obtained."
