He urged that a charge of this description ought not be kept hanging over the kende/ the defendant for an indefinite period. Baron Channel, after a long technical argument, re fused to allow the trial to proceed, and said that the ori ginal order of the Court must be adhered to. Geraldiae Ileurier, the fashionable swindler, was brought up for judgment before the Common Serjeant, and sen tenced to 18 months' hard labour. (Before Mr. Justice Bytes.) SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST • PUBLICAN. Rickard .Ifurris, 41, licensed victualler, was charged with attempting to set fire to a house which he occupied, called the Turk's Head, situated at Green-bank, near Ratelifthigh way, St. Ceorge's-in-the-Bast, with intent to defraud the Royal Insurance Company. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. F. H. Lewis prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended by Ur. Ribton. About 4 o'clock on Sunday, 13th October, an explosion was heard on the premises oseepied by the prisoner, and the attention of several persons having been thus attracted, they found a fire proceeding from the cellar. Some water having been thrown down to quench the flames, it was ascertained that there were several quantities of gun powder lying about, and also some bong cloths saturated with ruin placed ro as to communicate with the powder. Shortly before the explosion some of the prisoner's children were seen leaving the house, and they were followed immediately afterwards by the prisoner liiteseU. About 5 o'clock the latter returned. He was asked if he could account for what had occurred, mid his reply was that be could not, an d th a t some one must have done it to spite him, but he could not suggest any one as likely to have committed the offence. It was shown, however, that three weeks or a month previously he had bought a quantity of gunpowder of the same de scription as that found in the cellar, and the motive im limed by the prosecution was a desire to obtain a sum of -.W., for which the furniture and stock had been insured in April. - - (The cue wan going on when our report left.] REMARKS.

"Tan OWL" AMONGST THS GU:VS.—Thu Owl, which re-appeared to-day, has the following announce ments in its unfacetious page :—" A battle between guns and targets will shortly commence on • large scale at Shoeburyness. The targets sre of several kinds, repre senting the Plymouth, Spithead, and Malta defences. They cover a surface about 100 feet long and 15 in height. The attack will be made with three guns of the heaviest description. The 15in. smooth-bore Rodman gun of 19 tons, firing 10016. of American powder and an American round shot of -001 b. A 12-in. Palliser rifled gun of 17 tons. firing 801 b. of English powder and a 4501 b. Palliser chilled shot. And, lastly, a 10in. Wool wich rifled gun, firing a 4001 b. Palliser chilled shot with 601 h. of English t owder. It is a curious fact that in this experiment the expenses of the Rodman andWoolwich guns are to be defrayed by government, whereas that of the Palliser gun is to be borne by Major Palliser, that officer having already expended • sum equal to the reward he hu received in previous experiments.—At the represent ation of Admiral Key and General Lefroy, the Admiralty have determined to replace all their smooth-bored ordnance now in use by similar guns converted into rifle ord nance on the Palliser system. Of the smooth-bored guns there are upwards of 2,000.'52 and 68 ponaders, which will be converted into gin. and 7in. rifled guns respectively.— The 104 in. 12i ton gun which blew its breech out on board the Wivern last week was one of the heavy-wrought-iron guns which were made before Major Palliser's patent breech was adopted into the Woolwich guns in 1$6::. Only three heavy guns whose breeches were made on the old plan have fired any considerable num ber of rounds. The first was a Pin. gun, which' blew its breech out at Shoeburyness in 1862 ; the second was a 10in. gun of 18 tons, which did the same about two months ago, also at Shoeburyness ; the third being the Wivein's gun. The Admiralty have now decided upon withdrawing all the guns made upon the old syetem ' and issued to our ironclads, and r e placing them with Pin. guns made on the now plan.—All the English Artillery ' guns at the French Exhibition are being returned to this country, except the Tin. Whitworth, which has been left with the French government for experiment at Vin tonnes." TEE LATE SUICIDE AT kW HOTEL AT CAMBRIDGE. —The identity of the unfortunate man who shot himself at the Lion Hotel, at Cambridge, during the night of the 13th inst., still remains a mystery. At the adjourned in. quest on Monday night nothi ng t o throw any light on it transpired. It appeared that in cleaning out the room where the suicide occurred some hotel bills were found under the carpet, supposed to have been placed there by the deceased. These were produced, and showed (for there was no doubt from communications received from the various hotels that it washe) that deceased had visited the Cock at Epping, the Lion at Chipping Ongar, and the Semen's Head at Chelmsford between the Ist and the 9th of November. The bills were for small amounts, and were receipted. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that deceased, when he committed suicide, wet labouring ander temporary insanity. CRYSTAL PALACE.

THE CATASTROPHE AT TORTOLA. In reply to Mr. W. E. Fort.srEn, Mr. AbDERLEY stated that no later information bad been received at the Colonial-office than appeared in the papers of that day. A tele gram had been received from New York of yesterday's date, but it was only short and imperfect. That there was • great disaster on the 29th of October there was no doubt, but it was much exaggerated. The loss of life in Tortola was occasioned by • fire which occurred during the hurricane and not by submersion. The name of one family which perished was given, but it was not very legible. The telegram which was sent to the New York /braid stated that 10,000 lives had been de stroyed in Tortola, but the total number of inhabitants amounted to only 3,000. THE ADDRESS. The report on the address was brought up. On the question that it be received, Admiral WALCOT expressed his regret at the necessity of sending an expedition to Abyssinia, but he hod no doubt that the troops eugaged would do their duty as they always had done. Mr. D. GRIFFITH complained of the exercise of the prerogative of the crown in proclaiming war without first consulting the House of Commons, which was only called together to vote money after the country had been com mitted to a policy. Mr. WHALLEY wished that the reference made in the speech from the throne to the Abyssinian expedition had been more precise. As it stood it was vague, unsatisfac tory, and unpractical He thought it should have been stated that an accredited representative of the nation bad been imprisoned, and as a consequence of such imprison ; went that Illassowah or some other port on the cosset of Abyssinia should be taken where our representative could I exercise his functions. It was &heard to say that an army should be sent for the liberation of her Majesty's subjects. Mr. MAGUIRE expressed regret that no reference bad been made to Ireland in the Queen's speech. With regard , to the execution of the men now left for execution in ; Manchester all be would say was that there was a feeling in Ireland and even in England that the sentence of death should not be carried out, if for no other reason than this — 'that the case of the crown had broken down in reference to seen who had been charged with the same offence as the persons who were under sentence of death He appealed to the Home Secretary and the government not to be led away in this matter by irritated feelings or by threats, but to act in accordance with the calm judg ment which should guide the heads of a great nation. The hon. gentleman then referred to the position of the Papal States, and said that was a question which ahonld be left to the catholic powers. He denied that there was any hostility to the Pope in Rome, and that was admitted by the correspondents of the protestant papers of this country. The Emperor of the French was bound by honour and by treaty to protect the Pope. Lord STANLEY said that having already stated what was the position of the government in reference tothe tem poral power of the Pope. he should not refer to it again. With regard to the feeling of the Roman population he would only observe that the bon. gentleman did not say that he would be ready to leave the decision of the existence of that power to the people of that city. With regard to the suggestion of the hon. member for Peterborough, he might observe that it was one which be was not prepared to Ifollow. The report was then read. On tbe'ruotion of Mr. M'CULLAGH TORRENS leave was given to bring in a bill to make provision for better dwellings for artisans and labourers in great towns. The house adjourned at 25 minute* pan one. - - ---- - THE RIOTS IN DEVONSHIRE. EXETER, 'TvesDAT NICHT. The intermediate sessions for the county of Devon were commenced to-day before Earl Devon and a full bench of justices. There were no less than 70 prison ' ere for trial—a number without precedent in the history l of the county, the average number at the corresponding sessions for the five preceding years being 20. The extra ordinary number had been caused by the recent riots in various districts of the county, which the noble chairman said in his charge to the grand jury were utterly inexpli cable. His lordship pointed out the law bearing on the offence, and said nothing could justify the disgraceful scenes which had been enacted. The trials were then proceeded with, the court and its avenues being crowded. Edward Drew, 27, labourer ; George Webber, 17, labourer ; Mary Wotton (on bail), and Martin Sweeny, 20, a labourer, were the first batch tried. They were indicted for riot and disturbing the public pesos at Newton Abbot on Nov. 5. Mr. Holdswerth and Mr. Clarke prosecuted. Prisoners were undefended. It was proved that the pri soners assisted in sacking bakers' shops and destroying property after the reading of the riot act. Sentence in each case was deferred, all the prisoners being found guilty. The trial of the Crediton and Barnstaple rioters will be proceeded with to-morrow morning. THE FERNDALE EXPLOSION. MERTHYR TYDVIL, Mooney. I returned lath last night from a visit to Fern dale. On Sunday a horse was brought up alive. It had been a week in the furthest end of the mine, and, though very thin, seemed well. The reasonable account given for the horse's being alive is that, being taller than men, and I not having the instinct to fall down when the burning , blast swept through the level, he escaped the gases which ' follow along the floor of the pit. So if a horse escapes burning, es this one did, it is tolerably safe from the other r. Theplace was still covered with coffins. Tho man at tending to the cage told me that there were still upwards of a hundred bodies below, and of their recovery I expect to write to-morrow. This number will come closely up to the mark given in my las!, 207. My informant also said that there were a number of boys down, who had been working with men and of whose names they knew nothing. I saw a distressing case :—Two poor women, one with a young child in her arms, had walked all the way from Worcester to find their boy. The poor old woman, the mother, and the boy's sister have been there a week, and have only had brief sdatches of rest the greater part of the time they stopped at the pit's mouth ; and, in addition, the little child was ill. A collection was made forthwith, and they were taken into a house, and if ever people were grateful they were.—Leeds Mercury.

The methodists of Aurich, in Hanover, having received from the landrost or prefect a prohibition to cele brate their Divine service, applied to the government council of the province of Hanover. In consequence of the intervention of the president, Count de Stolberg- Wernigerode, and in execution of Art. 12 of the Prussian constitution, guaranteeing the liberty of worship, the prohibition has been withdrawn.

THE LATE ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. —Yesterday Dr. Lankester and • jury of householders of 31.uylebone assembled at the residence of the late Mr. Arthur Gaubert, aged 21, No. 1, King-street, ' Portman-square, for the purpose of investigating the cir eurestances attending the death of that gentleman. which arose out of the accident which took place at the Welwyn Junction of the Great Northern Railway on the night of Tuesday, the sth instant. Dr. James Clark was a pas- Boozer in the same train with deceased on the evening in question. The train was kept at Hitchin for four or five hours in consequence of an accident at the Welwyn Junc tion. It was dark • they went on to a place called Wootton Green Bridge, and again stopped for at least a quarter of an hour. Witness heard that a passenger had fallen over the bridge. He got out of the carriage and saw deceased placed on the floor of one of the cania;es. He complained of great pain, and was extremely faint and pale. Came with him in the same carriage to King's cross, brought him home and attended him till his death, with Mr. Shepherd and Mr. Hancock, surgeons. De ceased had fractured the pelvis and the arm. lie said ho had got out of the train for a necessary purpose, and that there being no protection he had fallen over the bridge. There were no carriages on the bridge, and there is no station where the train stopped. It appeared from other evidence that there is little or no parapet to the bridee in question, which is about 20 feet above the ground. The jury having considered for some time, ultimately returned • verdict of " Accidental death," Mr. Robinson, the fore man, adding that although they deeply sympathised with deceased's family th..v could not attach blame to the Great Northern Hallway Company.

Otherwise the trade remains without alteration. " A young lady of sixteen," says the &aut Public of Lyons., "has just successfully passed her exarni. nation at the faculty of this city, and received the degre e of Bachelor of Letters. Sbe particularly distinguished herself by her cl attainment." THE YOUNG PEER'S PERSEVUTIIR.—You may perhaps have heard of the young peer who was subjected to such an influence, one of the chief forms of torture applied being the mi•lording him at every sentence. Determined at any hazard to rid himself of this nuisance, ho leaped his horse over a very formidable hedge. The other took the same leap, and when he had recovered breath, said. "t) Lord ! wy lord, what a terrible leap your lordship took !"—Blae:oromf's Alafm:in , for November. GILDING OUR STATUES. I 3itatuRTy in bronze, after a couple of yeare' exposure to the soot and acids which impregnate our London atmosphere, become absolute eyesores—their light-absorbing surface of a dead black altogether obliterates the lights and shadows by means of I w hi c h b eau ty of form is alone rendered perceptible. They become in fact mere silhouettes, and, not having been designed as such, tho outline they invariably present reminds us of the terms in which M. Mantalini cha racterised the contour of the two great ladies whose love he had rejected for the Lake of his fair milliner—" the duchess had no outline at all, and the countess's outline was a dem'd outline." If it be expedient in the present state of British sculpture to spend money on graven images at all, it would be surely worth while to provide the four per cent. additional, which would suffice to gild them by electrotype. Bronze statues, so treated, and on pedestals of polished granite, would, at least, tend to lighten up the gloom of our thoroughfares, instead of, like our present ststaes, to increase it. What an ornament to Trafalgar. rare the equestrian statue of Charles I. would become if cleaned and gilt, with GrinlinGibbon's exquisite pedestal reproduced in polished red granite, with its seutcheone and trophies exactly copied in gilt bronze. The Land•eer lions are understood to have cost about 5,000/. a piece. An increase of 4 per Dent ., or 200/., would have sufficed to render them, if not " beautiful for ever," at least clean for ever, by giving them an imperviable coating of geld, which every shower would restore to its pristine brightness.—Fortniolaty Berate, November.

There is rather more business in the stock mar kets to-day, and the tendency of prices in many cases is firm.
