TIIE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. The following circular has beta addressed (in accortknce with a resolution pawed at a meeting of the Central Relief Meinmittee held at Manchester on Monday) to all the dis tressed unions : "ND PUR THZ Or DISTRESS 124 THE MA3I/. FACTURINO DISTRICTS. Central Executive Comin - ttee, Town.hall, Manchester, Bth Sept., 1862. Oeutlemeo,—The (Nitrate and anxiety which pervade the !Natoli manufacturing districts are so unparalleled in their mature and severity, and so exceptional in their cause and effect, that we have deemed it an imperative duty to accept the responsible obl4ationa of a central relief committee for the district adverted to, and we now beg to enure you that weans very desients of assisting to carry out promptly and effectively the best and neat benevolent means for miti gating the grievous and trying calamity. Yon are well aware that thousands of the mill hands are ant of work and are borderiog on starvation, and you are equally well aware that, week by week, distress deepens amongst them, end that there is only too much reason to tear that by winter time all their own means of sustaining their independence will be wholly exhausted. We are, therefore, exceedingly anxious to organise, without delay, mod in conjunction with yourselves, a system which shall be calculated to secure a proper collection and administra too of parochial relief and charitable aid, and to render the distribution of both as frugal and effective as possible. The mists, beyond all doubt, is most grave and difficult, tat there are just and benevolent principles well fitted to meet it effectually, and we now earnestly invite you, in the faithful discharge of your duties, to co-operate with us in sodeavouring to realise them. We desire not only to avoid all dictation to boards of gueriliaos, but to express to you our firm reliance on your well-earned experience, and frankly to invite you to arrange with us a clear settlement of the principles upon which we may hops adequately to relieve the misery that sur rounds us. The task which you have to perform is, we admit, of no ordinary magnitude, for it is nothing lees than that of suf6- ineptly feeding, clothing, lodging, and employio4 a popula tion out of work, while our duty is to disburse, impartially and prudently, the funds which the benevolence of England may place at our disposal. We most now ask you accurately to review with us the positions which we respectively occupy in the present emer gency, because a clear appreciation of our responsibilities and resources is most essential to the success of our mutual eperatioos. The obligations legally entailed on you, as guardians of the poor, are so thoroughly understood by yourselves, by the ratepayers, and by the poor that it is flummery to dwell upon them ; they are fully defined by law, and the perfect performance of them is a guarantee to the community that the poor-rates will be judiciously economised, and that we one amongst us ought under any circumstances to en eounter danger to life, or lose of health for want of the necessaries of subsistence. The poor.law wisely places boards of guardians in an independent position, but it entails on them, at the same time, the most important liabilities. We readily and gladly recognise both their powers and their responsibilities, and we now very earnestly direct attention to the following farts in connexion with them in this district: . In 24 unions in the district, from which we have received eathentic retures, there are at present 140,165 persons in the receipt of parochial relief, of whom 129,536 receive out door relief, at • cost of 7,922 f. ss. Id. per week. En the same unions in the corresponding week of last year there were 42,064 persons in receipt of parochial relief, of whom 33,993 received out-door relief at a cost of *l6Ol. 168. Bd. per week. The preeent total expenditure of these 24 unions, it relief alone, approximates to 10,0001. per week, or 520,000 f. par annum. In 1856 the net rateable value of these unions WAS 5.308,7361. ; so that d the present scale of relief was con tinued for one year it would be met by a levy of Is. 1133. in the pound, once collected during the year, on that pro- Tarty In drawing your attention to the precise amount of rate which will cover the present scale of relief for one year, we beg to be understood that we are well aware that in the most distressed townships this rate is now borne by the solvent ratepayers only, and that therefore the rate re quired from such ratepayers is probably now nearly double, and that, further than this, when the rate is thus doubled, it must be again augmented to meet the cost of county sates, borough rates, salaries, and their expenditure ; so that the precise amount of rate requisite to cover the pre sant state of relief for one year by no means represents the pecuniary obligations of the solvent ratepayers in the mast distressed townships. The present pauperism of them 24 unions is 7.3 per cent. es their population. With these figures and calculations before us, we venture to point out to you that at present the scale of parochial est-door relief in these unions mermen Is. 2ad. per head per I week, and that it averaged Is. 31d: per bead at the corre sponding period of last year. We feel ensured that each case upon your books is re- Timed according to its individual merits, and that you admi nister relief to the destitute poor with care and judgment, and with a due regard to their necessities ; but we take the liberty, with every submission to your discrimination and experience, of expressing our daubti whether this weekly aim of parochial relief is sufficient to meet generally the great neomeiticeof the unfortunate mill hands in this pecu liar distress. We have every reason to know that up to the present time the pressing wants of the mill hands have been met to some extent by the loaf relief committee, and to a very great extent by the mill bands themselves ; their savings, their furniture, their clothes, their investments, have all been converted into ready motley to buy bread ; but it is sow well known that their private resources are almost wholly exhausted ; and as you must, yourselves be aware of this siguificant fad, you may be at this moment deter- Ili Ding to adopt forthwith a more adequate scale of parochial relief. . . . We also beg to suggest that in ordinary circumstances of relief administered through the poor laws. private charity, the contributioa of friends, and other resources of supply, eontribute to support the applicant; whereas now the vast and general distress has annihilated, or very greatly &mini/lied, such additional receipts. The action of our central relief committee, in disbursing aid to local relief committees, must necessarily be altogether regulated by the bounty of Lancashire, and by the benevo lento of Ragland generally ; but we must very explicitly request every guardian of the poor to remember that the *antral committee will not feel justified in so apportioning their grants as to make them compensate for any deficiency ecessioned by a low standard of parochial relief. We desire, however, to act in every way in harmony with you, by adopting and diffusing amongst the local relief com mittees whom we aid, the true principles of the poor-law, and more especially them which prescribe that appropriate labour shall be exacted in return for relief, and that a certain portion of that relief shall be given in kind, for these are the ruling and true principles of the poor-law, and are those which, when properly apprehended and administered, will best advance and protect the interests of the cam niunity.—We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants, (Signed on behalf of the committee), &mann ELIAS/MR; Chairman. June Wu. Mantua!, Hon. Sec. MEETING AT BIRMINGHAM. A public meeting, convened by the Mayor of Bir mingham, was held in the theatre of the Midland Institute, es Tuesday evening, to take steps for aasistiog in the elle viatiot of the distress which exists in Lancashire. The MAYOR presided. The Msroti said. although there might be diversity of ippioion as to the proper period for calling the meeting, there was no doubt of the fact that the present state of du limo in Lancashire was almost unparalleled. At the present time there were 100,000 more persons receiving relief than a t the same period last year. The deputation which had visited the distressed districts would give them information as t the state of the inhabitants, sod he bad no doubt the people of Birmingham would do their duty. The present meeting bad been called to give the men of Birmingham of all classes an opportunity of ahowiug *sir sympathy with tho operatives in Lancashire. The Mayor concluded by annouociog that he had received a letter tr,n, the Rev. Dr. Miller, Rector o ISt. Martin's, express ing hi sit :motion to band to the committee the sum of 1601., soilected at Ns thurch, to be forwarded to the Manchester eon:mines. A letter was read horn 11r. Fareell, the special oommts sioner appointed by the government to inquire into the state of the operatives in the cotton manufacturing districts. That gentleman stated that the lows of weekly wages io twenty four onions was not less than 120,000/. per wea, end was increasing. Mr. G. DIXON (a Birmingham merchant who bad been to the Lancashire district as a deputation to ascertain the amount of distress) moved the first resolution, viz ;—" That in the opinion of this meeting, it is the duty of the in habitant& of Birmingham to contribute largely to the relief of the distressed operatives in the cotton manufacturing districts." The speaker entered at some length into the present distressed condition of the people in Lancashire, quoting from the Timm and other newspapers accounts of the destitution which prevailed. These accounts, he stated from his owe personal observation, were understated. The distress was not confined alum to the cotton operatives, but extended to the shopkeepers who depended for a being on the custom of the workpeople ; to the proprietors of houses, who were usable to obtain their rents, and to the millowners themselves, who were suffering heavy loss. With reference to the stets meats that had been made that the millowners and cotton dealers should support the operatives now out of employ ment, be denounced such as idea as monstrous. The whole community had benefited by the labour, intelligence, and skill of the operatives engaged in the cotton manufacture, and now they were reduced to deep distress from no fault of their own, no unwillingness to work, it was the duty of all to make some sacrifice to alleviate their sufferings. Mr. G. F. Moan seconded the motion. He looked at the present distress as a calamity affecting the whole coin. amity. It had been urged that it was the duty of the rich inhebiteate of Lancashire to contribute more liberally to the support of the operatives ; but his opinion was that they bad a claim upon the sympathy of the whole community; sad because some few individuals did sot perform their duty as they should, that was no excuse for the people of Birmingham dome the same. Tlic resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. J. G. GOODMAN moved " That the clergy and Dinar THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1862.

WARRINGTON, WZIMIZSDAL The fifteenth annual show of the above-named society was opened here this morning. A preliminary show of implements only was held yesterday. The show ground is a field of fli acres, lent for the occasion by Colo nel Patten M.P., situated close to the Landon and North Western R ailwayi station. There is ample room for the various kinds of stockexhibitid ; and the whole arrangement and accommodation ppear to have been provided in the most complete and satisfactory manner. The show itself ix the hugest ever held by the society, except the one last year at Ashton, and with that exception it is perhaps also superior in respect of the quality of what is exhibited. To-day the weather has been brilliant • consequently the show has been visited by great I:mut:ere of people, in cluding many ladies, and if to-morrow should prove equally favourable, there is every prospect of a highly successful pecuniary result. The town is gaily decorated with banners, &c., and full of holidaymakers and visitors. Although . this year the total entries are somewhat lees than those in 1861, being 1,740 as against 2,150, there is an increase in several of the most important departments. The moat interesting part of the show is that of implements and machinery. There are 70 stands of implements, and 967 entries. The exhibitors are from Manchester, Liverpool, Warrington, Leeds, Lincoln, Sheffield, Carlisle, Knutaford, Birmingham, Gloucester, Herefordshire, Grantham, other parte of the country, and there is one exhibitor from Canada. Steam engines are at work in every part of the field set apart for implements, making bricks, driving cir cular saws, and setting all kinds of machines in motion. A more complete collection of steam-engines has probably seldom been brought together. Among the prim cipal exhibitors are Meears. Richmond and Chandler, of Salford ; Messrs. Pickaley, Suns, and Co., Messrs. J. and H. Key worth, of Liverpool ; and Messrs. Clark and Son, of Leeds, who exhibit 41 entries of harness, saddles, and bone clothing. Several Warrington exhibitors, of whom Mr. It. Cookson makes the largest show, have contributed mate terially to this attractive portion of the display. Rather conspicuously above the tenta arelloatieg the" Stars aad Stripse,"from the stand of Mr. Fuller. of Manchester, wise exhibits a good collection of Wheeler and Wilson's sewing machine.. Mr. Bradford, of Manchester, has also his washing machines here. About 30 vehicles, comprising broughams,l sociables, phaeton , drags, gigs , whitechapels, and basket carriages, are shown by Mr. W. Thomas, of Liverpool. Mr. Robertson Gladstone, of Broad-green, exhibits a newly contrived waggon, the chief feature of which is the great ease with which it will discharge it. load. The show of horses is unusually good, the thoroughbreds being of fine quality. The horned cattle are below the average in number. The show of poultry is extensive. There is but a scanty exhibition of roots, vegetables. fruit.. and flowery but there is nothing to complain of on the score of merit. The entries of horned cattle are 73; of horses, 119 ; sheep, 92 ; pigs, 63 ; poultry, 138 ; geese, 11 ; duck; 27 ; turkeys. 3 ; cheese, 13 ; but ter, 22 ; seeds and root., 74 ; saddlery, 4. There are also ninety-nine competitors for special prizes given by the Warringtoe local committee to amateur cottage gar deners and others. There are twenty-sesen entries of flowers. Mr. Henry White, of Warrington, has the gene ral direction of the showyard arrangements, hut all pre liminaries of the exhibition have been ably accomplished by Mr. T. B. Ryder, of Liverpool, the secretary. It does not appear that many sales are effected on the ground. Inside the main entrance, and in different parts of the ground are large placards announcing that subscriptions would be thankfully received for the distressed operatives of the district, and boxes are provided for deposits under the care of a militia sergeant. The hands of the Warriugton Bluecoat School, and of the local rifle volunteers are in attendance. Among the earliest arrivals of visitor to-day were Lord Stanley, M.P., Colonel Patten, M.P. (the president of the society for the year), Mr. Burgess (Mayor of Warrington), Sir R. T. Gerrard, Bart., Mr. Greenall, MY., Lord Sefton, and Lord Skelmersdale. The annual dinner of the society was being held this afternoon, at the time this report was despatched. Colonel FATTEN, M.P., prerided. The dinner took place in a large teat on the show-ground, accommodating about 400 persons. Lord tiKELMIRSDALI proposed "The patrons of the society, the Earl of Derby and Lord Egerton of Tattoo." Lord STANLEY, M.P., who WWI warmly cheered, res ponded on behalf of Lord Derby, and added—No man, I think, can look at this country now, and recollect what it was fifteen or twenty years ago, without being able to bear from personal observation his testimony to the value of associations such as this. No doubt we have still some thing to learn and a great deal to do, but no men can now travel a mile in any direction over the cou.itry which be remembers some year. ago in this neighbourhood without seeing that crooked fences have been levelled, that small fields have beet laid together, that morasses have been drained, that weeds are lea, frequent than before, that laud which was formerly unproductive from wet has been brought under drainage into a rich cultivation, and above all that, gradually and slowly, vet steadily, in many departments of agricultural iudustry hand-labour is being superseded by implements of the clam which we have seen in the show-yard. (Cheers.) He concluded by expressing re gret that there was not a larger number of tenant farmers in the association, and proposing the health of the chair man. MR. HENLEY; M.P., ON AMERICAN AND ITALIAN AFFAIRS. Yesterday the annual dinner of the Stow-on the•Wold and Chipping Norton Agricultural Society took place at the White Hart inn, under the presidency of Mr. HUEY Bemorr. Amongst the guests were the Right Hon. Mr. Henley, M.P., Colonel North, M.P., Colonel Fsne, M.P., Admiral Leigh, Colonel Dawkins, Colonel Payne, Osptain Thornhill, and a large number of other gentlemen oorineeted with the district. . . Th. Right Hon. Mr. HE ET, in responding to the tout of "The Members for the County," said there were few topics to which members of parliament could advert on oocaaions like the present, with the exception of that unfor tunate distress under which our fellow-countrymen in the north were suffering, and those topics were fortunately at a distance from our shores. He could but heartily hope that it would please Gad to enlighten those who were bent upon cutting each other's throats without any good , reason that we could understand for so doing, and bring them to a better state of mind, so that peaceful relations I might on established, and we might receive those supplies of which we were so greatly in need. (Hear, hear.) With re gard to Italy, there had been a kind of revolution going on in that country, and a certain class of people were glad to kick down the ladder by which they had climbed to eminence. In the history of the world that always had been the case and always would be. Honest and sincere men west ner. tain lengths • more long-headed men gained the advantage, and having obtained that advantage the more honest men were cast adrift, if they did not fare worse. (Hear, bear.) This was too much the character of the events that were occurring in Italy at the resent moment. All he hoped was that the honest man would fare better than they seemed likely to do, and that the really good and deserving men would obtain that advantage which they deserved, and which that unhappy country desired.

On Sunday afternoon the village of Llanon was thrown into • state of considerable excitement, caused by the announcement that a young man named Llewellan Edwards, sou of a respectable tanner at Dwrdawdd-fact, bad shot Ilia brother, Sommeraley Edwards. The police immediately went in earth, and succeeded the same after soon in apprebeoding the alleged murderer at a place called Pontardnlais ; and, having coaveyed him to the lock - up of this town, he was brough t up yesterday and examined before Mx. G. H. Remand Mr. 1L G. Thomas, jun., two of the magistrates for Carmarthenshire. The Town-hall was densely crowded when the prisoner, a gentlemanly-looking young man, dressed in naval uniform, was charge d with the crime of wilful murder. His age was stated to be twenty-ore. The magistrates having first con sidered it expedient to retire into • private room, they pro ceeded to examine the witnesses in the prisoner's presence. Police-constable James John deposed that he had appre hended the prisoner. On informing him that he was chtrged with having shot his brother, he replied, "It is true. 1 have shot my Mother." On the way to Llanelly he said be had been commanded to do it by the Lord. On searching him nothing was found except a pocket-handker chief and • tobacco-pouch. David Price, another police.constable, also stationed at Poutardulais, stated that on going to the farmhouse, where the murder had been committed, on Sunday evening, he found the door locked, and that until he mentioned who he was he was unable to obtain admittance. When he went in he asked to see the deceased, and the body was shown to him. It was in the front room, lying on • board. The de ceased bad been shot in the hea d. There were cuts on the upper part of the forehead. The wkole of the brains were gone, sod the scalp had been cut off. He inquired how the murder had been committed, when a hook was brought by some person in the house, and on it was part of the brains. It was • farmer of the name of Michael who brought him the book, and who told him at the same time that he had found it in the deceased's hand. Witness was of opinion that the wounds upon the deemed could not have been self-inflicted, and that they could not have bee' produced by falling upon any sharp substance. On exa mining the yard he found a good deal of blood and brains, and also a part of the scalp. More of the brains were scattered about the walk. Wit tman made inquiry as to whether any gun bad been discovered, bit was unable to obtain any intelligence on that subject. He had beard, how ever, that the prisoner was seen with • gun in his pos. session about a quarter of • mile from the farmhouse. The murder was committed about three o'clock in the afternoon, and witness had not vet ascertained whether anyone had witnessed the deed. The prisoner, having been duly cautioned, made the fol lowing statement :—My father is a solicitors at Daventry, in Northamptonshire, and is now living there. He took a farm in Llaaon, called DwreMwdd-fach, in November last, where my mother and brother re sided. My sister is married to a clergyman, narncd Edward Moutford, of Foremark-hall, near Derby. My father is now at Daventry. On the 27th of July last I was getting up at seven in the morning, to join some young men, when two angels appeared to me, and asked me if I knew what day of the week it was? It was Sunday. I then remained in my bed chamber for six weeks. Yester day I received a communication from the Lord to shoot my brother, who had broken every commandment. I found the gun loaded in the kitchen, prepared for me. It was a double-barrelled gun. I found my brother in the yard with a sickle in his band. 1 raised the gun. He said he was my only brother. I obeyed the Lord's command. I did not tellhim that I was going to shoot hire. I was about six feet from him. He put his baud to his head. I fired, and be fell dead. I did not touch him with the sickle. Nobody but the Lord was present when I shot him. I have been a master's assistant in the navy. lam twenty-one years of age, and retired from the navy about three years ago. I had been wounded in 1859 by the son of • clergyman, named Nicholas Dewys, in South ATI}CIiCL I was on board the ship Wasp, sloop-of-war. He (Dewys) fired a revolver pistol at me, thinking it was not loaded. The ball entered my right groin. I bad an attack of epi lepsy from the effects of the wound, and was invalided in consequence, sod left the navy. This statement the prisoner signed with • firm hand. He afterwards wrote a letter to his mother to lend him some clothing, and be expressel • wish to be released from custody. The examination was adjourned until a future day, when Dr. Thomas, of Llanelly, and other medical gentlemen, will give evidence as to the prisoner's state of mind. Mean while, be has been committed to Carmarthen gaol, on his own confession, on the charge of murder. MURDER AT THE PORTLAND CONVICT ESTABLISHMIINT. An inquest was, on Tuesday, held at the Portland convict establishment, before Mr. F. C. Stegpll, on the body of Charles Evans, aged 39, the master shoemaker, and • warder in the prison. It appeared that it is usual for the convicts to eat their meals separately in their several cells. Their dinners are given them in a can, sod after they are locked io, a knife, for the purpose of enabling them to cut their meat, is placed under each of their doors. After they have been locked up an hour their OM and knives are collected. On Monday the one o'clock bell was rung as usual, when Warder Evans, the deceased, took three of the convicts to collect the cans and knives in No. 1 Ward, E Hall. They had collected from four or five wards when they came to that where a convict of the name of Alfred Preedy was confined. The warder unlocked the door, and Preedy presented himself with his can and knife, but instead of placing his can in the tray which two of the convicts were taking round to receive it, he dropped it on the floor. The third convict who was with the warder then held out his hand for the knife, when Preedy pushed him on one side, seized the warder by the neck with his left arm, and with the knife in his right band cut a deep gash under the warder's right ear, severing the jugular vein, the carotid artery, and the great nerve of the neck. The two convicts carrying the tray immediately seized him, and compelled him to let go his hold of Evans and to drop the knife. They both said that when the knife was in Evans's neck, Preedy moved his hand as if be was twisting the knife round. Evans, when released, ran forward several paces, and was led down to a room in the infirmary. where he imme diately expired. No reason an be assigned why the act was committed. None of the 'ransom examined had ever heard that any dispute or altercation bad taken place between the deceased and his murderer. Preedy, who is twepty-ope years of age, was, we understand, formerly a drummer in the 84th Regiment, but at Christmas, 1849, was sentenced to three years penal servitude for lar ceny, end had consequently only between three and four months longer to serve. Evans, the deceased, had been • warder at Portland eight years. sod was greatly respected, not only by the officers of the prison, but also by the well-cooducted convicts. He has left a widow and three young children. The jury, having heard the evidence, r eturned a verdict of " Wilful murder " against Preedy, and the coroner issued his warrant for his committal to Dorchester for trial. ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER. —Yesterday evening Mr. Leghorn held an inquest, at King's College Hospital, on the body of Cathode* Roberts, aged 42, lately residing at 17, Short's-urdens, Drury-lase, who had lost her life under the following circumstances:—William Collins, of 14, Short's-gardens, deposed that on Sunday morning last, about 1 o'clock, he was in a shop in Short's-gardens, when the de. ceased woman came in for some trilling article. She was very much intoxicated, and used bed language to Mr. Burke, who kept the shop; consequently he would not serve her, but proceeded to put up the abutters and close the shop. Demised followed him out, went behind him, and struck him. He followed her, and struck her in return on the head or face with his hand. She fell, and remained in sensible on the flagstone* until picked up by a policeman. Police-constable 9b F proved finding deceased lying in sensible. Be took her to the station-hones on a stretcher, and from thence to the hospital. Mr. Crucknell, acting house physician, sew decreed on her admission on Sunday morning about half-past 1. She was quite insensible. and there au a bruise on the left temple and a cut on the left ear. She died at noon. He had made a post mortem ex amination, and found the cause of death to be pressure of blood on the brain, probably canned by a fall. The Inquiry. atter some consultatiou, was adjourned until Monday assts in order to obtain the presence of Mr. Burke. Mou limn OUTRAGE& —Mr. John Rynd, of Mellinger, land agent and J.P., received, through the pod-office, a few days ago, a notice, threatening him with death if be did not discharge a bailiff named Keegan, residing on the estate of Mr. Grogan, of the musty of Wicklow. to which Mr. Byrd is agent. The only reason assigned for this outrage and the removal of Keegan is, that the latter faithfully discharges his duty towards his em ployer, which makes him oboozious to some of the tenant, on the property. Mr. M'Outhy O'Leary, J.P., held an in. vestigation on Monday at Inches, relative to a malicious attempt to injure one of the railway Maim Detouring to the Great Southern and Western Railway.

Charlotte Randall, a woman who had been at work in a duetyard, was charged with attempting to commit suicide in the Regent's Canal. From the evidence of one of the witnesses, named Shep herd, it appeared that on Tuesday the defendant came to the dustyard, and complained of the bard manner in which she had been treated at the workhouse, at the same time stating that she had been kept lying out on the pavement. She had a fit come on her, and she went and threw herself into the Regent's-canal. She was got out, and she then filled her apron with iron, and said she was so tircd of her life, in consequence of the harsh conduct of the workhouse officials, that she was determined to kill herself. The defendant was not fit to be in the streets at large, as she was subject to fits. She ought to be in the workhouse, but they would not keep her there. They said that she was an impostor, and was not subject to fits. That was simply because the night or so that she was in the workhouse she had not bad a fit. It was the gate-porter who refused to admit her. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner for the attendance of the workhouse ►uthoritis. MARYLEBONE. • • [wise, __.. gra. ; coastwise, 800. Oats, foreign, WO.

A respectably-attired married woman, named Anne Garrod, residing at No. 1, Walmer-place, Stingo-lane, Bryanatco-square, was placed at the bar on a charge of attempting suicide. About ten minutes after seven last evening she was found by a policeman on the top of a mound in Regent's-park, near the water, crying very much, and on his speaking to her she put a bottle to her mouth, the contents of which she was only prevented from drinking by the policeman snatching the bottle from her band. The bottle contained laudanum, and was labelled " Poison." She then said that she bad bad all her goods taken, and she would not go home again. On her werefound 74 duplicates. The prisoner said she was very sorry, and on the magis trate stating that he was inclined to think that her object was not suicide, but to impose upon the public sympathy,_ Prisoner exclaimed, " Oh, sir ! oh no . I have five chil dren, and one of the youngest is now in the hospital." Prisoner's husbeed being called. and who appeared in a very delicate state of health, said—He was a cab driver, but not able to do anything lately from anxiety and worry. He had been three days driving for Mr. Brain, Bloomsbury, but could oot raise the daily *monist of money wanted. Mr. Yardley—Cabmen now are making good money. Herbal:id—The public have the idea that we make the money, but I can assure you, sir, it is not us but the roasters who get it. Mr. Yardley—The masters have not risen their. day's money for their cabs. Husband—Yes, sir, they have considerably, and instead of the Exhibition making it better for ua, it is worse. (The statement of the wittier, as regards the raising of the price of cabs by the masters was verified by the officers of the court.) Wife—On last Monday week the landlord sent in a writ ten notice that if we did not pay him up he would seise our goods. (She here burst into tears, and exclaimed, bolding her child up. •' Oh my poor little Walter! oh it will kill him ! Oh, my dear Walter!") She then proceeded :—On the following week the brokers came, sod in the hope that I could manage to get some friends to millet me I kept the broker's man, and paid him whilst in our place, but not being able to get a friend my home was taken (crying bitterly). I sent a letter to you, sir, and it was placed upon your desk, in the hope that I might get something from you. Mr. Yardley said he bad probably seen it, and now felt inclined to relieve her, but if ho did so there would be hundreds of other cases. He recommended her to go to the workhouse to recruit till her husband also recovered and got work, and entreated her to consider the advice calmly, as there would be no degradation in her going. Wife—When I went out yesterday morning I left a com fortable home. When I got back I could not bear to see the bare walls. Oh dear, my home, my dear home was stripped. Togo to the workhouse ! my dear little Walter to ' come from the hospital to the workhouse ! Oh dear, oh dear. It will break his heart. Mr. Yardlerrepeated his advice, and the prisoner, who said she would go home, was remanded for a week, and left the court overwhelmed with grief and hugging her baby to her breast. SOUTHWARK. Jots co g hton, potman at the Griffin public-home, Church-street, Southwark, was brought before Mr. Beecham, charged with stealing about two dozen knives and forks, a revolver, and a large quantity of drinking-gleams, the property of his master. Mr. Welsh laid that the prisoner bad been in his employ as potnian about six months, and he put considerable con fidence in him, owing to his supposed attention to business. Latterly, however, glasses, spoons, and other articles mysteriously vanished from his bar, and no clue could he found as to who was the thief. The prisoner came to him on Monday, and charged the female servant with stealing the missing articles, which at once induced him to suspect the prisoner. Witness accordingly communicated with the police, and a search was made at his lodgings, when two dozen knives and forks, a five-chamber revolver, and a large quantity of wine and other gleams were found, all of which were identified as his property. Georg* Robinson, a detective officer of the II division, mid that from information he received from Mr. William Welsh. the prosecutor's son. he went to Net 1, John-street, Camberwell, no Tuesday afternoon, and saw the prisoner nailing up a large box. He asked him what he had there. Prisoner maid, Only a few articles of wearing appareL" Witness opened the box and found the property produced, which the prisoner acknowledged stealing from his master's house at different times. Mr. Welsh informed his worship that he received a letter intimating that the prisoner was robhing him, but he could not believe it until he charged the female servant. Then he suspected him. Mr. Bumham told the prisoner that be was a di agraceful thief, and he should sentence him to six months' hard labour. TRAFFIC RETURNS.

ALARMING EXPLOSION AT AN HOTHL-011 BUD day night last a eery serious gas explosion took plata in the Greet Northern Hotel, Lincoln. The room in which the accident occurred had just been beautifully decorated, and Was one of the most elegant rooms in Lincoln. On the night in question, about 11 o'clock, a youth employed on the premises informed Mr. Pratt, the landlord, that there was a smell of gas is the "Manchester" (the name by which the room is known), and Mr. Pratt at once went in, telling the boy to bring a light. Two of the waiters also west in, and Mr. Pratt put the light to the large chandelier, to and out where the escape was. Instantly there was a tremendous report. The window•shutters, made of thick oak, were blown out of the windows with great force, and the glass was blown to the opposite side of the May 4,6 distance of 20 yards, like a showee of small shot from a cannon. The strong oaken door, If-inch thick, was ton off its binges, and thrown against the opposite side of the lobby :with • force which made deep indentations in the oak panelling. The ceiling of the room, which was richly decorated with gold and colours, with a massive moulded cornice, was completely destroyed. Several oil paintings in the room are so scorched and damaged as to be almost valueless. A large plat...glans mirror, 10ft. by 7ft., fortunately with the frame only being a little burnt. One es with waiters wee thrown to the opposite end of the room, but was fortunately uninjured. The other inmates escaped un hurt. The damage is estimated at about 1001. [Advertisement.] HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.-- Soundness Renewed.—Any indolent ulcer or chronic sore should immediately have this excellent unguent applied to It in the manner pointed out hi its accompanying directions. For thoroughly cleansing a diseased or broken skin, and for rousing Its poisoned vessels ordepreswed nerves to healthy action, nothing can surpass Holloway's well-known Ointment. It strikingly *bows its power when applied to the " old maxis ulcer," whien edges in the leg, and often becomes moot intractable under the ordinary treatment ; though none hes yet withstood Gila cooling and healing salve. The troublesome swellings preparatory to moat ulcerations of the Seas are likewise reduced by the dili gent application of Holloway's inguent by giving strength to the weakened circulation through the capillaries. MELANCHOLY ACClDENT.—Considerable grief has been occasioned at Barton Beudish, near Norwich, by • fatal accident which occurred on Monday to Mrs. Holley, the mother of the rector, who, in addition to being atooe blind, was very infirm, being about ninety years of age. The deceased went out in a four wheeler on the day referred to, with her brother, Captain Holley, and they called on a poor woman named Ely, a charwoman, for the purpose of making some domestic arrangements. Almost immediately after they had left the cottage, they commenced the descent of the bill (which is rather steep), and it is supposed a portion of the vehicle touched the flank of the posy and frightened it in much that it started off at a gallop, and all the efforts of Captain Holley to stop its progress were unavailing. It continued at a fearful pace for nearly a mile, until it reached the entrance to the clergyman's premises. The gate was open, but in attempt ing to go through it, one of the wheels caught against the gatepost, sad the occupants of the carriage were thrown out with great violence. The gentleman received only trifling injury, but Mrs. Holley was so greatly injured dist fears were from the first entertained that the result would be fatal. Medical attendance was promptly obtained, and it was found that the lady bed received severe injuries. one of her legs baring no lees than four fractures. She lingered for about 48 hours, when death put an end to her agonies.— Bury Post . FATAL ACCIDENT THROUGH RAPID DRIVING,— An isquiry was held at the London Hospital, by Mr. H. Raffles Walther', the dity coroner, on Tuesday, reaped ins the death of Anne Polling, aged six years, who was run over and knled on Thursday last. Mary Agee Lardert said that on the day in question she saw the deceased in Commercial-road run into the carriage way to pick up an apple which rolled away from her. At that instant a light cart came along at a very swift pace, and though the driver shouted out, he did not pull up.
