11:1E FETES AT VENICE. tram ous ersmaz cosassroinarra VENICE, Nov. it Though sunshine was wanting to the earlier festivities, it has been bright and plentiful for those which have succeeded. There was a change of weather the day before yesterday, and the grand masquerade of that evening was not spoiled by importation of goloshes. As to yesterday's regatta, it was a splendid eight. Venice was herself again. November fog had given place to sunshine worthy of July, and the harbour was crowded with small craft of every size. But before I speak of what happened yesterday, let me return, if only for a moment, to the masquerade. Some maskers were content to disguise them selves with plain black hoods, whilst others had fancy dresses of elaborate design. Many who were presentat the Fenice wore their ordinaryeveningcos tume, many appeared in grey trousers and cutaway coats. It was a time of joviality and license, the theatre very full, the stage thrown open to dancers, and Victor Emmanuel sitting quietly in a side box, with his sons and other members of the royal family. That his Majesty was well received need scarcely be said, for the Venetians never lose a ' chance of cheering him. He was cheered when he arrived and cheered when he departed. Mephis topheles jostled against Sultan Sulyman to get a better view of the King, foreigners vied with na tives in the pertinacity of their gaze, and a myste rious black domino borrowed our friend Smith's opera glass. No one thought of dancing until after the King had retired. All eyes were turned to wards him, and the attention of the house was con centrated in the aide box where he sat. Victor Emmanuel was by no means a passive figure to be stared at, but frequently raised his own opera glass to look back at the crowd of faces which looked at hint or to survey the opposite row of boxes, which were filled with ladies elegantly dressed. The crowning triumph of Venetian freedom in these joyous merry-making days was the procession of veterans of 1848, and the decoration of the flag of the National Guard. Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the Place of St. Mark was occupied by detachments of soldiers and sailors, by the National Guard of Venice, and by a large concourse of people. The tri-colour banners on the tall flag atatis in front of the Basilica fluttered out bravely as they had fluttered when first they were hoisted, and serried lines of Italian bayonets glittered in the sunlight. Between the armed men, who kept open a space for them to advance, came a column or unarmed veterans, bearing the tattered colours of the former war. It was remarked with dis pleasure by many of the crowd that the foremost flag in the procession, and that which would be especially honoured, was crisp and new, whilst those which followed bore traces of hard service. But such difference could not be helped. An old flag of the required pedigree was not forthcoming, and as to relics of 1848, here were the best possible relics—the veterans who had fought under Daniel Martin. They were most of them in plain clothes, though some wore military uniform, and they had the solid, comfortable look of men of business with grown up children. Eighteen years had grizzled many of their beards, though few were aged or feeble men, and they looked as if there was yet vigour enough amongst thorn to form an excellent corps of reserve. On they came to the centre of the Piazza, where a brilliant group of officers, naval and military, awaited the arrival of the King. Now there was a shout from the crowd near the western portico — now a confused roar of voices, as every one saw that his Majesty had descended the steps by the movement of the white plumes around hint. There were music and cheering, with zealous pushing forward by the people, and shouldering back by the soldiers. Victor Em manuel attached a gold medal to the flag-staff of the National Guard, and then, all restraint being removed, the Piazra was thronged with a gladsome mass of citizens and strangers, in which the veterans of '4B were lost to eight so soon as they had struggled past the King. There was an interval of bargaining with gon doliers, and worrying distracted waiters at places I of refreshment, between tho ceremony in the Piazza and the regatta on the Grand Canal. Venice took boat at twelve o'clock, or stationed itself at windows by the canal side, or crowded twenty deep along convenient wharves. There was great mameuvring of gondolas to obtain a good place within view of the Foscari Palace, where his Ma jesty would be stationed. Eight-oared barges richly draped, with crews in fancy dress, darted up and down to keep open a course for the race. Here sonic adventurous craft which was trying to sneak past and range herself outside the crowd of expectant holiday-makers was ordered hack by an authoritative gentleman in an eight-oared barge. Again sonic clumsy old tub, fitted out for the occa sion, which had drifted across the channel, was driven to one side, and told to remain there under pain of capture. Truly our half hour of waiting for the race was very amusing. lilt when the King had taken up his position and the competing boats—pair-oar shallops rowed gondola fashion —glided past with the winners already far ahead, and sure of their victory, it was but a poor regatta regarded as a matter of sport. The wonder of the day was the crush of boats and barges which fol lowed his Majesty on his return to the palace ; and afterwards, for those who love a beautiful sight, there was the illumination of the Place of St. Mark—a blaze of tricolor lamps and gas jets, with the winged lion on the Basilica startling forth more real and ferocious than any illuminated lion ever did before. THE YELLOW FEVER ON BOARD THE ATRATO. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT. A telegram has been received from the Privy Council, ordering the Atirato still to be kept io quarantine. The doctor's servant has been taken ill of yellow fever, and has been placed on board the Menelaus, but be has not bad the black vomit, and it is though possible that he may recover. The passengers are all well on board the Atrato. Gnat excitement exists in the town amongst the families of the crew, and numbers of persons assemble in the docks to learn the news from the ship. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ROCHDALE AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yesterday morning one of the most destructive fires that has occurred for many years in Rochdale broke out in the large flannel manufactory of Mr. John Kershaw, in Mount Pleasant, and it entirely gutted the building, and aevemal houses surrounding it were partially knocked down, and damaged considerably. An old man was buried in the ruins of one of the houses and killed. Mr. Ker shaw is ono of the largest fancy flannel manufacturers in this part of the country, and we understand he is insured, but not to the full amount. Three hundred workpeoplo were employed at this mill, and of courso they will be thrown out of employment. UNIFORM VALUATION Or THE METROPOLIS.— At the meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works yesterday, a report was received from a committee of the whole board as to uniform valuation of property in the metropolis, reporting that, in the opinion of the cow minim, the beet mode of insuring this would be for the magistrates of the several counties of Middlesex, Surrey, and Kent to revise their rentals at least once in thee years, and that they should pursue this course simultane ously. After some discussion the matter was referred back to the committee for consideration and report.. 4 . 01 1;. .. .%; , • I . ~ ;; ; GREAT FLOODS IN LANCASHIRE. tam tITtIt. *parting Intrliistuct. MANCHWEEFt, Nov. 16. A good deal of excitement prevailed in Man chester this morning which bad its origin in the intelli gence from various parts of the surrounding district of great damage done by the overflowing of rivers and streams coming from the direction of the Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Lancashire hills, mostly tolthe ( north - west, north, and north-east of this place. We have had a considerable rain fell during the last few weeks, and on Tuesday evening for about seven or eight hours before the great shower of meteors we had a suooesaion of short but sharp storms, accompanied by thunder, lightning, hail, snow, and rain. The temperature went down considerably. During the greater part of the night of Tuesday there was a heavy fall of rain, and rivers, brooks, and other stream were a good deal swollen. A great deal of rain fell on Wednesday and yesterday, but during last night it rained in torrents for many hours, and thedownfall contented with little intermission till noon to-day. The rivers Irwell, Irk, Medlook, in their course through Manchester, were found to be rapidly rising from daybreak to after twelve o'clock. The Irwell has risen to a higher level than it has attained for thirty years past, and there has been no flood probably for the last fifteen years that has reached . ithin ten to twelve feet of the same height. Three pip, dog and kennel, and trees torn up by the roots float ing down the stream in front of the cathedral were among the earlier indications of the damage done higher up theeiver. A cottage staircase carried down was another and more serious intimation of disaster somewhere. The river had risen at this point to above the top of the arch of the new bridge into Salford, and excited crowds have been lingering by the aide of the swollen waters, watching waifs and strays all the morning. Barrels of oil and paraffin, on coming against the top of the arch, have been sucked under, but most of them were broken before reaching the other side. The oil in these cases was very perceptible on the surface, and the bursting of the paraffin barrels was accompanied by considerable stench. Higher up the Irwell, in the passage of the river through Lower Brough ton and Strangeways, great numbers of houses and ware houses were flooded, and in many instances the inhabi tants were placed in great jeopardy. In Edward-street, Broughton-lane, and in some adjoining streets, the inha bitants finding the cellars flooded, and the waters invading the parlours and other rooms, began early in the morning to send for waggons and lurries to move their furniture ; but in many cases the rise was too rapid for them. For some hours it rose more than a foot per hour, and we hear of parlours submerged to the depth of five and six feet. The horses in the waggons and lorries were in some cases up to the neck in water, and some of the animals being seized with cramp, difficulty was experienced in rescuing them, as well as the inhabi tants of the houses. Women bec ame dreadfully excited and alarmed, and some screamed and elm( st became frantic, but we have heard of no lose of life through the flood. Still higher up the Irwell, at Peel-park (the Sal ford people's park), a large portion of the grounds were deeply under water, and the head gardener and his family were not rescued till half-past 12 at noon. Up towards Bury and Bolton great numbers of houses have been flooded, as well as cotton-mills and other works by the waters of the river, and the machinery (which Is stopped in some cases by the water extinguishing the fires), and goods will sustain great damage. At Black burn the river Blakewater has overflowed its banks, and submerged the lower part of the town (called the Wrang ling) flooding houses, mills, and warehouses. Ac Darwen a good deal of damage of the same kind has been sus tained. For some hours the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway through Darwen was impassable by trains owing to this cause, and the passengers to Manchester had to be sent round by Accrington, over the East Lancashire route. The Yorkshire trains of the same company were also stepped by a flooding of the line at the Walden end of the Summit Tunnel. The flood washed away the Wiest of the line, so that] an engine got fast, and after wards the trains were sent round by Burnley, Rose Grove, and Bury to Manchester. B y 12.30 p.m. however, the line (according to telegram s from Walsden and Littleborough) was again in working order. At Stockport, damage to mill and other property, at tended with stoppage of machinery, has been done by the overflow of the river Mersey ; and similar disasters are re ported at Stalybridge, from the overflow of the river Tame. Several houses are reported destroyed at Openahaw. It is reported on the Exchange that hundreds of mills will be stopped by the floods, and that immense damage has been done in all parts of the manufacturing districts. At Preston, the river Ribble has overflowed its banks, and drowned a quantity of sheep. The public park is also partly submerged. MANCHESTER, 10 o'CLoce. The weather (sus been fine since noon, but the Irwell continued to rise for some hours. The Strangeways road from the Assize Court towards Higher Broughton was some feet under wuter ; the opposite side of the river in Salford was inundated. From the houses in Springfield, Lyne, and Adelphi, hundreds of people were rescued with much difficulty by boats and by other means. Up to this time hundreds of people have been carted to the Salford workhouse, to the Town-hall, to the Catholic In ati tut° Dispensary, and other public buildings to be abeltered and fed. At a moderate calculation there are 500 homeless and houselesa poor, acme reports say nearly 1,000, under the care of the authorities, from the effects of this cala mitous flood. Only one case of drowning is reported, that of a gentleman who had rescued his wife, but was carried away by a current. The Mayor of Manchester had a narrow escape in leaving hie house at Lower Broughton. HENDON RACES.—FRIDAY.

Two vessels were carried over the dam stakes, and two men druwneiL The river rose until the water above and below the dam was on a level, and until there was but a small portion of the arches of the bridge visible ; and the captains were taking advantage of this to neat their emptied vessels hack over the we r. At a late hour in the afternoon they hail not succeeded. The Man chester corn factors never reached the market at all, in consequence of a tunnel on the lino being flooded. The rain is still coming down in torrents and the river rising, being now nearly 15 feet above its ordinary level at the dam stakes. PRESTON, FRIDAY.

A flood, the like of which has not been seen for thirty years, is at present prevailing, at Preston, on the western side of the town principally. and all along the banks of the river Ribble for miles. The Ribble began to overflow its banks early to-day, and by breakfast time immense tracks of land on each side of it were completely covered with water. By noon the water had spread tremendously, and at the time our parcel was despatched many hundreds of acres were swamped, and houses and fartnateada had been deserted lest they should be swept away. For miles beyond the boundary of Preston, up the course of the river, all the contiguous land is deluged. At the vil lage of Walton the streets are covered, cellars are " drowned out," and furniture, pigs, &c., have had to be removed. Neither the course of the Ribble nor that of its tributary the Darwen can be seen; all is one immense plain of rolling water. One faro-house between I'reston and Walton is surrounded in water several feet deep, and also cattle and sheep are at present penned up in barn, the house, cc. Lower down goats and several sheep have been hemmed in, and are liable to be swept away any moment, Some dead cattle have been washed down the river, but nobody can yet tell where they have come from. One cattle dealer has lost a large number of sheep, and many of those gut out of the water had to be killed. Avenham Parke, which have been made at such a cost, and which ordinarily constitute one of the " sights" of the town, are perfectly deluged. All the walks are covered, and only tree tope can be now seen. For about a mile opposite the parks all the land is inundated, and even as far as the centre of Peniowthan village, on that side, the ground and roads are swamped. Gardens, houses, &c., in South Meadow-lane are deluged ; some dwellings are surrounded by water four feet deep ; hedgerows are out of sight ; and at noon yesterday boats were sailing about over Preston Cricket Club Ground. Shops, dwelling-houses, and workshops are sur rounded by water at the bottom of Fithergate-hill ; work men had to be carried to and from their employ in carts, and at one mill at the bottom of Marsh-lane the water got so high about eleven o'clock that the works had to be stopped and the hands sent home. All the works on the quay are stopped, and if the water does not soon abate. the ships will be riding over the side. The Ribble branch railway is impassable, and along Strand-road and Ribble place the water is running several feet deep, and at a speed of about ten miles an hour. Taylor-street, Bird street, and other thoroughfares are nearly closed up with water. At four o'clock yesterday afternoon the water continued to heighten and what the consequence will yet be no one can tell. a. g e numbers of people who live any where near the banks of the Ribble at Preston will have to sit up all to-night. THE PROPOSED TRADVAND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES Ilgsung DemoNaritarios. —Yesterday afternoon a deputa tion front the committee intrusted with the carrying out of the nrratgements of the proposed trade and friendly societies' reform demonstration, consisting of Messrs. G. Potter, R. Hartwell, Coffey, and Bryan, waited on Sir Richard slayue at his private resid..nee in Whitehall-place, with a view to urge upon him the advisability of his afford ing the aid of the metropolitan police on the occasion of the demonstration, and of making such arrang-ments as would meet the views or the committee and at the cams time facilitate the public traffic. Sir Richard Mayne hay ing been made aware of the object of the deputation re plied that the matter was entirely out of his jurisdiction. Mr. Potter stated that on the opening of parliament bythe goeen, and at the time of t:aribaldi's entry into London,the police authorities facilitated those who arranged the processions, and he thought Sir Richard might give equal facilities to the trades ar..l friendly societies, andhave the traffic transferred from the route of their procession into other streets. Mr. Coffey, who said he represented two influential bodies namely the Foresters and the Manzl.ester Union of o,l.lfellowl, said the trades and friendly societies would feel great disappointment at a refusal front Sir Richard Mayne to assist them in their detnonatration in favour of parliamentary reform. Mr. Hartwell and Mr. Bryan having also given expression to their views, Sir Richard Mayne 'dotal that the occasions refemd to by Mr. Potter were exceptional. He regretted exceedingly that he could not aid the deputation, but it was olearly out of his power to make any arrangements in reference to the public traffic. However, he would give every assistance that would ho consistent with his functions as chief commissioner of metropolitan police. The deputa tion then thanked Sir Richard Mayne, and withdrew. FATHER IGNATIUS AGAIN.—The Record gays : " Wo ore assured that the Bishop of London has not, either personally or by commission, licensed Mr. Lyne to 'any curacy in the diocese of London, nor has his lordship, , we believe, even entrusted that gentleman with the ordi nary leave to officiate in the diocese. If, indeed, Mr. I Denton is willing to take entire charge of him—the young gentleman having promise t to conduct himself like a quiet English clergyman—it is possible that the Bishop of London, after conferring with the Archbishop of Canter bury and the Bishop of Norwich, may hays intimated to Mr. Denton that he will not actually inhibit Mr. Lyno from performing some ~f the minor office, of the church in St. 110-tholotnew, Moor-lane, provided all th np go on ' decently and in order.' Further than this, it is coati , dently stated, matters have not gone." The Levant Herald of the 7th says :—" The difficulty between the American legation and the Porte relative to the questions at isom between the United States consul in Cypnis and the local authorities has been in part arranged by the Porte's consenting to dismiss the mudir of Larnaca, and to order au apologetie salute of 21 gnus to the American deg.

Mr. Beaumont — who has been for several years a member of the buard—is, we believe, at the head of a large manufacturing concern at Huddersfield. He is understood to be a man of great wealth, and possesses an amount of shares in the North British Company that cannot but give him a deep interest in the prosperity of the undertak ing. It is, perhaps, no mare than fairness that it should be known that two others of the old board of direc tors—Mr. W. P. Adam, M.P., and Mr. Balfour, of Bel birnie—were, before the meeting of Wednesday, asked by ' the committee of investigation to join the new board ; but that both these gentlemen declined to continue in office. Scotsman. ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—The ex press train, which leaves Birmingham at 1.20 p.m., met with an accident on Thursday, when about three miles beyond Tamworth. When running along the cutting, near to Haselour, the engine ran o ff the line a distance of same four hundred yards at least, tearing all up before it, and breaking the chairs and damaging other parts of the line. At the time of the accident the train was travelling at the rate of forty miles an hour; but we are pleased to hear that out of about thirty passengers none received any injury. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1866. EQIJITY COURTS.—Nov. 16. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir 3. Stuart) EDMUNDS S. BROUGHAM. This bill was filed by the late Clerk of the Patents against the defendant, a brother of Lord Brougham, for the purpose of recovering 9,0001., &c., in respect of pay ments at the rate of 30 01 . per annum, alleged by the pUan tiff to have been made by him to the defendant out of his (the plaintiff's) salary for a period of 30 years. The bill stated these payments to have been made by virtue of an arrangement with the late James Brougham, and which was ratified by the defendant. The defendant bad put in an answer setting forth his view of the case, which was to the effect that the payments in question had been made for the benefit, and solely so, of the creditors of the late James Brougham. Such an application of the moneys, however, appears to be denied by the plaintiff, who . seeks to make the defendant a trustee in respect of all the moneys paid or allowed as afore ' said by the plaintiff. The application now before ' the court was made under Sir Hugh Cairns' Act and the general order (evidence 1861). and its object was to obtain the settling by the court of certain issues which the plaintiff proposed to raise in reference to the alleged arrangements as to the payment and destination of the 3001. a year. Mr. Malins, Q.C., and Mr. J. N. Higgins were for the plaintiff, and submitted that the questions of fact, upon which the plaintiff and defendant differed, were proper for the verdict of a jury. Mr. Osborne, Q.C., and Mr. 0. Morgan were for the , defendant, and said the application ought to have been , made at chambers. L His Honour was of that opinion, and directed the motion to stand over in order that the plaintiff might, if , I advised, apply at chambers, when the matter could be 1 I well cons ide red.

TAYLOR V. HOLLOWAY. This was an action to recover penalties for the perform ance of The Ticket-of-Leave Man without the consent of the author. The defendant pleaded that he had the consent. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C. and Mr. H. F. Lewis appeared for the plaintiff. The defendant did not appear. Mr. Heddleston, Q.C., in stating the case to the jury, said that the plaintiff, Mr. Tom Taylor, was one of the most accomplished dramatic authors of the day, and the defendant is the proprietor of the Mammoth Theatre, I which travelled from town to town, and was located at Stockport when the alleged offences were committed. The • infringement coming to the knowledge of the Dramatic I Authors' Society, they sent their agent down to Stockport. He attended the performance, and followed it with a ' printed copy of the author's work, and was able to prove it was the same. The defendant and his daughter per ' formed the principal characters. He only attended one performance. The learned judge said the plaintiff could only recover one penalty, and The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 401., the amount of the penalty. The learned judge granted execution in two days. THE POLICE COURTS. WESTMINSTER. Mr. James Parker, in the employ of Mesas. Msppin and Webb, Cornhill, was brought up from Newgate by the deputy-governor, on habeas, having been committed by Mr. Justice Blackburn, on Wednesday, for perjury. Mr. Inspector Bradstock, of the A division, had been bound over by the judge to prosecute ; Mr. Bury Hutchin son, instructed by Mr. Avis, of Lincoln's-inn, defended. Mr. Justice Blackburn having taken his seat on the bench, Mr. Hutchinson contended that the committal was not good, inasmuch as the judge had only power to commit if the defendant failed to put in bail, and in this case the bail had been offered, but refused to be taken. Mr. Selfe disagreed with Mr. Hutchinson. There was no evidence before him that bail had been offered. There now arose a difficulty about a prosecutor ' • the commissioners of police did not prosecute , and Mr. Self° said a public prosecutor was required,. Mr. Justice Blackburn then read the evidence given by the defendant on the trial, he being the defendant in an action in the Common I'leas brought by two ladies to re cover 200 f. awl interest, defendant alleging that he boi lrowed it for a friend, and the other side alleging that he had it himself. Two sureties in 2001. each were taken for the prisoner to be produced at the Old Bailey on Monday next, and the pri soner entered into his recognisance of 100 f. to appear at this court on Monday,when the evidence of perjury will be given. WORKING MEN AND THEIR DAY OF REST.—A public meeting of the inhabitants of Lambeth was held at the Lambeth-baths on Thursday evening for the purpose of forming a branch of the Working Men's Lord's Day Itest Association. There were from 600 to 800 persons present ; almost without exception working men. Mr. George M. Murphy occupied the chair, and Mr. Booker, a working man, offered a short prayer. Mr. Charles Hill, secretary of the parent society, said that there were more than 500,000 persons unnecessarily compelled to work on Sun days or give up their employment, and these men who were required to labour seven days a week, like the rail way servants and country postmen, were the worst paid and most oppressed elassee of men. A man employed on the Great Western Itailway had told him in a letter that he had nut had a Sunday for 20 years. A rural messenger who walked 18 to 20 miles daily had told him that it was 17 years since lie could get up and go to a place of worship like his fellow men. A rural postman who walked twenty miles a day, seven days a week, was set at liberty on Sundays by the univer sal request of the persons who lived on his beat, but the authorities of the Post-office had knocked Is. per week oft the poor man's inserable remuneration, although he had to deliver the Sunday letters on Monday. Such treatment was a disgrace to the name of Great Britain, and the efforts to increase Sunday labour, by throwing open places of amusement on Sundays, made it necessary for working men to combine to defend their right to one day's rest in seven. A resolution, approving the object of the associa tion and appointing a committee to form a Lambeth branch, was moved and seconded by Mr. Salmon and Mr. Spry, working men. An amendment was proposed in op position by Mr. Stafford and Mr. Mickeson he amend ment was put to the meeting and lost. The orisinal re solution was carried, with loud cheering. Mr. l'ritchard moved, seconded by Mr. Cupell " That this meeting deeming the Sabbath rest essential to the physical, moral, awl spiritual welfare of man, and truly sympathising with those who are deprived of unday quiet an.l repose by the demands of inconsiderate pleasure seekers, or money grasping employers, pledges itself to do its utmost to restrict Sunday labour to works of necessity and mercy." Mr. Booker moved, seconded by Mr. Marshall—" That in the opinion of this meeting the fact of half a million persons having visited the recently closed North London Exhibition on payment, and mostly in the evening, proves the ability and willingness of the working classes to visit places of interest on the week eveninga, if such opportunities are given. The meeting also deems it in the highest degree impolitic and undesirable that public ! institutions of any kind should be open upon the Lord's : day, either for toil or recreation, and urges upon the heads of departments concerned the desirableness of I forbidding all public sales for any purpose in the peoples' ' parks on the Sabbath day." Theseresulutions were earned, and the meeting closed. CHILD MURDER AT PORTSEA. - The body of a male child, about ten months old, was discovered in the • milldam which separates Portsea from Southsea, on Wed nesday morning, and it was clear from the medical exami nation that death bad resulted from drowning. The child was very respectably dressed and certain marks on the linen gave the police such a clue that the mother of the infant was arrested on the following day. Her name is Caroline Clemente Hurst, and her father lives at Spriug Cottage,Forton, on theGosport side of Portsmouth Harbour, and is a cab proprietor aad railway agent. The child *truille gitimate, the mother at the present time being under seventeen years of age, and was placed out with a nurse who also livedat Goaport. The mother, however, fetched it away from the nurse on Tuesday evening, and it would • appear from her own confession that she brought it over to Portsmouth, and, when unobserved, dropped it over the iron railings into the water below. The only motive as signed for the murder is that the father of the child ne glected to make the usual payment fur its maintenance. The prisoner, a decent-looking girl, was brought before the r i borough magistrates yesterday and remanded. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. —Five attacks of cattle plague are reported to have occurred in Great Britain during the week ending 10th November, being au increase of three on the return for the week preceding. Fresh out- I breaks took place in three farms or places where cattle are kept ; the number that appeared in the last return was • one. Four healthy cattle were slaughtered during the week from having been in contact with diseased animals. The Court of Common Pleas gave judgment, on Thursday, in the case of the clergyman who sought re lease from custody, on the ground that he had been arrested when returning from a visitation held by the Archbishop of Armagh. The Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Keogh held, with the judges of the Queen's Bench, that the clergyman was privileged from arrest, on the ground that he was legally bound to attend at the visita tion, and could be punished by the Court of Visitation for non-attendance, which constituted an act of contempt. • Mr. Justice Christian entertained a different opinion, but I did not formally dissent from the order far the release of the defendant. Mr. Justice O'Hagan expressed his con currence in the opinion of Judge Christian. CRYSTAL PALM:lE.—Handers music to Dryden's ode, " Alexander's Feat," will be performed at the Satur day conoert this afternoon, the singers being Madame Lens mens-Sherrington, Mr. Wilbye Cooper, and Mr. Lewis Thomas.
