RITRLER 01 AN ENDA= SAILOR AT MASORA/. 1 , 0,0 ilarmtrr, a Dane, demribel as an able-bolie.l xeim.un, was brought up before Sir Thomas Henry, in 'cuttooy of Duck, one of the summoning °fibers of the court, on an extradition warrant issued at the instant* of the Danibb government upon the charge of having oom mittedtve Orlin.) of murder at Shanghai. J. L. It. de Koeford, secretary to tho Danish Lega tion, attended to watch the case on behalf of the Dxnash authorities. /d r. Raeford put in the various documents in the CAW including the depositions before the Delilah Consular Court at Shanghais, at which a verdict of murder was tem.' against the prisoner. The officer Buck stated that on the 23rd instant, at stout 8 o'clock, he was vu board her Majesty's ship Tamar at Plymouth. where he saw the prisoner. He showed the prisoner the warrant issued by Sir Thomas Henry, and teed it to him. He then asked the prisoner if his name was Edward Sommar. He said it was. Witness asked if he was the man who had been convicted at Shanghai ? He replied that he was. Witness then took him in custody. The captain wished witness to mention that the prisoner's conduct on board hail been very good, and that he had always shown himself ready to persuade the other prisoners to behave themselves. Sir Thomas Henry asked the prisoner if he had anything to say why he should not be sent to Denmark to be sen tenced by the Criminal Court at Copenhagen. It appeared that according to the Danish law the court at Shanghai had no power to pass sentence. The prwouer—'Then lam going home now. But why have I been kept so long? It is now sixteen months since my trial. Buck explained that there had been to Danish man-of war sailing from Shanghai since the conviction. After some delay, he was sent away in an English troop ship, which arrived in the Plymouth Sound on Thursday, and it was now proposed to send him to Copenhagen. Sir Thomas Henry said the proceedings at the trial at Shanghai were all before him. The charge against him was that he had stabbed an English sailor, who unfortit nately died from the wound. The jury convicted him, but found that there were extenuating circumstances, the prisoner having found the English sailor in bed with a woman whom he had known. Although the deceased was an Englishman, the prisoner being a foreigner, could not be bled in England for an offence committed abroad. The prisoner said he had no objection to be sent to Copenhagen, but he denied stabbing the man. He was convicted on the evidence of Chinamen, who would &wear anybody's life away. The prisoner was committed to prison to await the order of the Secretary of State for his surrender to the Danish officers. TAMES. CNVOITNDED CILILEOE AGAINST • MEL. Eli:abed 11,;;;;,agt41I6, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing clothing to the amount of 35f., the property of Constantine Theofoiney, a Greek, who keeps a seaman's boarding-house, at No. 15, Rateliff highway. There were several boxes the property of seamen in the house, and these, the prosecutor alleged, had been plun dered by the girl, and twelve suits of clothes removed. He offered the girl 1/. it she would give up all the pawn brokers' tickets relating to the clothes, but she denied that she had stolen or pawned anything. Be alleged that she had shown a piece of gold which she could not have obtained honestly, to a Russian sailor living in the house. She explained that while her master was in the hospital and her mistress was in prison some money was given to her by her master to keep the house and pay for provisions, and that she showed the same to the Russian boy, who asked her for it. While her master and mistress were away several foreign sailors left the house, and it was probable they carried the missing clothes away. Mr. Benson said that was very probable, and expressed his belief in the entire innocence of the girl. Re could not understand why the prosecutor had given the girl into custody without a tittle of evidence against her. The prisoner was discharged. MR. BRIGHT AT BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY Nzoirr. Mr. John Bright was present this evening at a dinner given in the Royal Hotel to the members for the borough and the corporation by Mr. T. Avery, the mayor. Mr. Dixon, the junior member for the borough, was in Birmingham this morning for the purpose of being pre sent, but returned to London in order to support the reinstatement of Mr. Fawcett's clause in the Corrupt Practices Bill. Mr. Carter, the member for Coventry, was absent from a similar cause. Among those present in addition to Mr. Bright were the Hon. C. G. Lyttelton, M.P., Archdeacon Sandford, Major Smyth, Mr. P. H. Mints (the third liberal candidate for Birmingham at the coming general election), Mr. H. Avery, Mr. Elihu Berri% and the Rev. Canon O'Sullivan. The customary loyal and patriotic toads having been honoured, The Marcia proposed the health of the borough members. He expressed a hope that the meeting would not be regarded as a political manifestation, nor as representing in the slightest degree a party significance; he trusted that party would be conspicuous by its absence, and he re minded his audience that he was surrounded by gentlemen of every shade of party colour, descending from brilliant orange into invisible blue. As a conservative, he spoke of Mr. Bright as a brilliant orator, a high-minded. statesman and patriot, whose voice had ever been raised in favour of peace, law, order, truth, progress, and liberty ; as a man who had never for ambition or selfish desires aimed at the possession of place or power, who was a veritable hammer in controversy, and who if sometimes exalted by high passion had never been known to pervert hie glorious gifts to any ignoble or unworthy purpose. Such a man was for the country and not for party, and ought ever to be so regarded. He also paid a warm tribute to the merits of Mr. Dixon, the junior member for the borough. The Mast was drunk with much enthusiasm. Mr. Baton, in responding, proceeded to allude in a general way to various public questions. In his public career he bad always desired to serve the true interests of the country, and he hoped that he and all of them would be able to say, when their public life came to an end, they were permitted in the quiet of domestic life to look back upon political struggles, that all their efforts had been directed to this—to achieve all that came before their eye which was worthy of achievement, to do something to smooth the path, and to enable their children hereafter to make certain progress towards a brighter and ha v =day. Mr. Bright subesquently, in • brief com tory speech, proposed " The Health of the Mayor, ' and the proceedings were brought to a close. WHITEHALL, JuLT 23.—The Queen has been to direct letters patent to be passed under the Et: sti g eeal, granting the dignities of viscount and earl of the United Kingdom of Cheat Britain and Ireland unto William Ernest, Baron Faversham, and to the heirs male of hie body lawfully begotten, by the names, idyl's, and titled' of Viscount Helmsley, of Helmsley, in the North Riding of the county of York, and Earl of Faversham, of Ryedak, in the North Riding of the county of York.— Gault*. MELANCHOLY ETENT.—On Monday Mr. Henry Schofield Johnson, M.D., of Congleton, died under pain ful circumstances. He left home in the morning about half-past 7 o'clock. He returned at 11, and proceeding direct to his bedroom, laid himself on the bedA short time afterwards the servant heard him snoring heavily, and thinking that he might be ill she went up to the room, after which she hastened to get assistance. Dr. Warring ton, Dr. Beales, and Dr. T. Johnson were quickly in atten dance. They discovered that Mr. Johnson had taken a dose of chlorodyne to produce sleep. They need every means they could to save life, but Mr. Johnson died about 4 o'clock. Mr. Dunstan, coroner, held an inquest on the body on Wednesday. The only medical witness called was Dr.Wanrington. who stated that death was caused by taking an overdose of ehlorodyno to produce sleep ; and the jury found that death was produced inadvertently ami not by design. It was stated that the deceased was in the frequent habit of taking chlorodyne. It is inferred tlr it he took an immoderate quantity on Monday. lie wan 43 years of ago, and leaves a widow but no family.—Buks Adrertiwr. BILL. On the order of tho day for again going into committee on this bill, Lord R. MONTACIU moved, in aomwdanee with what pm wad at an early hour this morning, that the order be diatharged. Mr. KFAD said he could not blase the government for withdrawing the bill under ail the eirmiewtattoes. Mr. AYE+ ON congratulated the house that justice had been done to the opponents of the bill. (Hear, hear.) Oeneral DONNE expressed his regret at the with drawal of the bill—a regret which was increased by the gumption that it was never intended to pass it. (Bear. hear.) There had been no valid argument in opposition to it. bill was rejected through the incapacity with which it was drawn. Mr. NOPWOOD rejoiced in the spirit manifested by the hon. member for Norfolk. After a few words from Mr. J. Lowntaa, Mr. NEWDLOATE repeated that the bill was not intended t 6 revive protection. It was manifest that regulations by the Privy Council exposed thorn to chsiges of nialvenaticn. He hoped that a better framed bill would be introduced during next seveion to protect the menny against that cattle plague which was even now spreading on the Continent. (Hear, hear.) COWAN said that any relaxation at the port which he reprio.nted, would, he was sure, not be abused. lie hoped the government would not introduce a new bill, but confine themselves to the carrying out of existing regulations. NORTH expressed an opinion that the Privy Council had proved Heidi unable or unwilling to deal ade quately with rtuderpeet. Mr. BLAKE was thunderstruck when he beard the Chancellor of the Exchequer announce that the bill was not to be proceeded with. (Hear, hear.) He would ask the right hon. gentleman whether he had not been in com munication with substantial persons in the City who were willine to undertake the financial responsibility involved in the passing of the bill. He was informed that such was the cam. ,Y. S. MILL observed that if a bill was so drawn as to apply to all "so vmst" countries, there would soon be no cattle imported from abroad at aIL He would sug gest that if there was to be a new market, it should be merel3 supplementary to the present one, and to be used under special circumstances. The CLIANGTsiLLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought it must be obvious to anyone that the government had done their best to get the bill passed, and they only yielded at last to insuperable obstacles. (Hear, hear.) As regarded what fell from the bon. member for Wakefield (Mr. Blake), he observed that the offer made did not include any compensations. Insinuations that the government had not been sincere were wholly unworthy of this ova eon. Mr. KENDALL, as a supporter of the bill, disclaimed the motive of protection, and said that those who advo cated it wore actuated solely by the fear of rinderpest. After a few words from Colonel Srsas and Lord MONTAGU, The order for going into committee was discharged, and the bill withdrawn. REGULATION OF RAILWAYS BILL. . . This bill, as amended by the Lords, was — then con sidered. [Left sitting.) FRIGHTFUL DEATHS OF TWO WOMEN Br FIRE. INQUF.ST.—(THIS DAY.) This morning Mr. Richards, deputy coroner, held an inquest at the Londo n H os pit a l, t ouc hi ng th e death from fire of Joanna Moore, aged 64 years. The deceased was • single woman, living at 23, Hard ing -street, Ratclill. On Monday evening lad she struck • light with a lucifer match, and then threw it under the fireplace. Some loose papers therein caught fire and ignited her dress, which blazed up inatantl e Wm. Ellis , a hammermen , living at 42, Harding - street, opposite the deceased's house, saw h er rus h past win dow in a mass of fame. He ran across the street, and with some difilculty burst in the outer door. He thou saw the deceased, burning frightfully, standing up in the pas sage. He seized her in his arms and carved her out into the street, where he threw her down in the roadway and rolled over her to extinguish the flames. In doing this he severely burnt himself, and one of his hands is at present in a sling from the injuries sustained. Mr. John Clanting, house-surgeon, said that the deceased was brought in terribly burnt all over the body. She died on Thurs da y from her injuries. The pry returned • verdict of " Accident a l d ea th by fire." The foreman, in p the conduct of the man Ellis, said that there ought to some allowance made to persons who under such circumstances were injured and temporarily disabled while endeavouring to save life. The Coroner said that he had no fund at his disposal for such purpose. The man Ellin was indeed deserving of great commendation for his energy and courage. Mr. Richards held an inquiry last evening at the Lord Nelson, Bromley, respecting the death of Catherine Bridget, aged 62 years. The deceased was a laundress, living at 1, Charles street, Bromley. While lighting her pipe she set the sleeve of her dress on fire with the lucifer match. She was severely burnt, and died from her injuries on the 18th instant. Verdict, " Accidental death by fire." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. 000DWOOD ANTICIPATIONS. The " prophets" of the sporting journals pub lished this morning devote their attention almost exclusively to the events in the Goodwood programme for the ensuing week. For the Goodwood Stakes there are thirty-nine acceptances, and of this number it is said that sixteen or eighteen runners may be found at the poet. Looking at the antecedents of the various competitors the Field believes that the final struggle will be confined to Kidderminster, Gomera, Tabouret, and Ecarte, but has the strongest faith in the first and third of these, providing Ta bouret is allowed to run in addition to T aie. The chi:lke of Bell's life is Fidelia, or r. Dawson's chosen one, Tyndale or Tabouret, Ecarte being the most dangerous opponent of these animals. " Touchstone " of the Era also decides in favour of Tyne dale or Tabouret, holding Gomera and Kidderminster for place investments. ' Augur "of the 4°,11 0 12 selects "the young heroes," Tabouret and leaving the place battle to be fought out by Kidder minster and Stradbroke. As to the last-named horse, " Beacon," of the Sporting Gazette, has a far better opinion of him than most people have, and thinks he will probably finish amongst the first three ; but " Bea con" prefers Kidderminster and Tabouret, and expects the latter to win, "as his breeding is sure to get him home." " WisArd " of the Sportsman , places Kidder minster first, and Fidelia second, Gomera being close up at the finish. For the Goodwood Cup the Furiel expects that Specu lum or Julius will be victorious. Bell's Life also thinks it will fall to the Duke of Newcastle's best, although immured by "a gentleman connected with the northern stables " that Tabouret will accomplish "Miss Eli's" feat of winningboth the stakes and the cup. " Touchstone" hardly knows how to choose between Julius and Specuhim, but, presuming that both will run on their merits, " flat ' must be in favour of the three year-old. ' Augur" and the "Wizard" also both de clare in favour of Speculum. The Sporting Gazette says that in consequence of Mr. Clarke being subpoenaed as a witness upon • trial next week, Mr. R. Johnson, of York, has been appointed to judge at Goodwood. It is offidalli announced that Rosicrucian was struck out of the St. Leger at 3.45 p.m. on Friday, July 24; and that the pen was put through the Tom Bowline colt'■ name on the 22nd inst. Coon's Darrxre.—The following is the °Meal es planation of the scratching of this filly for the Burghley Handicap at Stamford :—" Distaff came in second, but having been 'truck out by her owner in London on the day of the race, at 1 p.m., two hours before running, she could not be considered as a starter." The Calvidar has also " placed " • third horse in the race, viz., Lord Palmerston, which must, of course, be now accepted as settling the vexed question of "place '• bets.—Sp•rtsmis.

He was a steady lad, and ne com plaint* whatever had been made respecting him. He hap pened to like the housemaid, a girl named Anna Elise Young, and wished to pay his addresses to her. This, however, she declined; and after having threatened to commit suicide, and also to murder the girl, he shot him ult. The jury returned a verdict that deceased committed suicide whilst in an unsound state of mind. _ A FINE FIELD op Oars.—lt is not unusual for persona who take rather a croaking view of the present hot summer to remind their hearers of the season of 181t6, when oats in some places were so short in the straw that they had to be gathered with the hand, and the meal wus actually sandy from the close contact of the ear with the soil. A stem of black oats which wus brought to us the other day as • sample of a splendid field of eight acres is a refreshing refutation of the fears that might be awakened by these reminis cences of 1820. The height of the stem is five feet inchc-, rind the car, which is ten inches long, con tains about 200 XraitlA. Apparently the field would be fit to cut in about ten days.- - Iresimorelsod Oazelto. 1.14 V t r .

Various reasons hare bean assigned for their absence, the principal one being, apparently, that many of them have a vivid recollection of the anaoyanoes to which they were subject at the Putney station of the South Western Railway last year, when the volunteers had almost to fight their way, after great delays, into 110 station on their return from the common. Major-General Lord Napier of Magdala will this after• DOOR distribute the prises to the sueoewful competitors, and this ceremony will occupy some considerable time, and, as his lordship has signified his intention of dining this evening with the officers of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, it is doubtful whether he will remain for the review. It is expected that a great number of visitors will be present. NAVAL INTEL!. VOENCE. The Army and Navy Gazette, says the Channel uadron, under the command of Rear-Admiral F. Warden, CM., will escort her Majesty the Queen to Cherbourg, on or about the 4th of August. The same journal believes that in his next cruise the Duke of Edinburgh will first proceed to China, then to Japan, and return home by the way of New Zealand. The United Serriee Oazette understands that Commodore Heath, of the Oetavia, will shortly be gasetted as K.C.1 5 :, and Captain Edye, of the Satellite, and Com- Mender Fellowes (on promotion) C.B.'s.

Annexed is an extract from the directors' report: The directors regret that the low rates of interest obtainable on ant-slam advances render expedient • reduction of the rate of extra dividend, but the directors have, nevertheless, pleasure in referring to the preceding balance-sheet to show that the diminution of profit is not attributable to any curtailment of the ordinary business of the bank, nor to any falling off in its resources. The directors are confident that on • general revival of the Uncle of the country, and a comemsat inereese in the value of mosey, the bank will again realise profits in excess of the former rates of dividend, but in the meantime they can only conduce to that end by the daily attention bestowed on the current business with a view to its eats and profitable extension. During the past half-year two new metropolitan branches have been opened, with every prospect of success, in the rapidly advancing districts of Notting-hill and Nines. OMNI.

Preedy, Eeq.) intellimmoe was re ceived here that the services of the Licensed Victualler lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution were urgently needed at St. Edmund's, about a mile and a half distant. It appeared that the yacht Foam, of Wisbech, was at anchor at some distance from the shore, having a lad 18 years old on board, the owner haying come on shore the previous evening, , when the weather was fine. A very strong from the north-east after wards set in, an it was observed that the sea was breaking over the yacht. Seeing her danger some fishermen attempted to launch to her assistance, but the sea was running so high that their boat filled immediately and they then sent for the lifeboat. As soon as the crew could be assembled the lifeboat was launched, and soon succeeded in reaching the yacht and in bringing the lad safe to shore. She behaved admirably in the heavy sea which was as rough as any she had ever previously en countered, although she has already been instrumental in saving 32 lives from different wrecks since she was stationed at Hunstanton in September last.

It appeared that the party had gone out on the pond in an old, much worn boat. They had not been long in it when the bottom began to give way. The] tidies became frightened, and raised loud cries for help, which were hoard by Luke Sanger, a boatman. Ile put off to their assistance, and in coming clam they, in their eagerness to get into his boat, upset both, and the melancholy result was that nine (including poor Sanger) were drowned.

None of the bystanders dared to attempt to re lieve him from his peril ; but it happened that • young fellow named Muriel (son of Major Muriel, late 76th regiment, of St. John's-street), a clever diver and swimmer, was near the spot; and, on being told of the oondition of the drowning man, he imiately, with his clothes on, plunged in atter him. A desperate struggle then ensued, the sinking man grasping Muriel so as to prevent the action of his arms. To be released from this hold was but the work of an instant, and, the poor fellow by the hair, Muriel made for the bank. man was from 10 to 14 feet under the water at the time his deliverer com menced his rescue.
