Instead of doing so the prisoner set to abusing her. called hers murderer, andcaused about 100 persona to collect round her house. The prisoner also threated to ruin her and her character, and to kill her. The prisoner, since he had left her house, had called about forty times, and every time she meet for a constable he walked away. She went in fear of the prisoner. Police-constable Henry Dawson, 12 C R., said that on apprehending the prisoner and taking him in charge he said it was all a lie. He afterwards said that he would expose Mrs. Finch as he knew all her secrets. That morn ing the prisoner gave him a letter, and wished him to hand it to Mrs. Finch. Mr. Lewis said the letter substantially retracted all the charges the prisoner had made aga inst Mrs. Finch. The letter was as follows: I hereby declare, in the presence of witnesses, that all that I have said on the 15th instant, and before, concerning Mrs. Finch was said in a state of intoxication; and hereby declare that all that was false ; and I furthermore declare that I am very sorry for having used such expressions.—Franc. Foss's°, 14, ltvder-street." The prisoner made a long statement in answer to the charge, but, although the primmer described himself as a teacher of languages," it was perfectly unintelligible. Mr. Tvrwbitt said the prisoner had bled to do all the mischief he could to the complainant, and when taken up for it begun to flinch and withdraw his charges against her. The prisoner was one of those mischievous fellows who haunted London, and called themselves "teachers of languages." The prisoner would have to find two sure ties in 201. each for six months. On being taken to the cells the prisoner pretended to faint, end afterwards set to howling hideously.

The Inman royal mail steamer City of Boston arrived here to day. All well. BltEsT, AUGUST 18.—The Transatlantic Com pany's steamer St. Laurent, from New York on the Bth arrived here to-day at 10 a.m., with 119 passengers and 2.i7,460 duly in specie. The death of Dr: William Mackenzie, the famous oculist, of Scotland, is announced. He was 74 years of age, and had for a long time occupied a most prominent position as a skilful ophthalmic surgeon, not only in Glasgow, where he resided, but also in England; and he was often called to great distances in consultation. He was surgeon-oculist to the Queen in Scotland, and to the Eye Infirmary, Glasgow. Dr. Mackenzie was a fellow of the Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons, and M.D. of the University of Glasgow, and also a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He was the author of several works, among which his treatisea on the " Physio lq..7 of Vision " and .` Diseases of the Eye" are best known. THE THRONE, THE CHURCH, AND THE CONSTI TVTION.—The protestant demonstration in opposition to the proposed disestablishment of the Irish church, took place yesterday at the Crystal Palace. For such a gather ing the day was most unpropitious, and the speeches were accordingly delivered in the central transept, instead of in the open air, as originally intended. The chair was taken by Lord Fitzwalter, better known as Sir Brook Bridges, and the first resolution, deprecating the attempt " To effect a solemn and radical change in the principles of the constitution by hasty and ill-considered legislation," was moved by Mr. Harduige Giffard, Q.C. About 5,000 per sons were present, and the proceedings were characterised by order throughout. A donation of 2,000/. was forwarded by the Duke of Portland " for protestant purposes." CHURCH RATES AT IPSWICIL—At the recent meeting of the Ipewich Town Council (according to the svtak Chronicle) the churchwardens of St. Mary Tower and St. Lawrence applied for a rate of 3d. and 44. to raise 60/. and 30/ respectively, for the augmentation of the clergymen's income. The application was made under the 13th Elizabeth, c. 24. Mr. Pearce moved that the application be granted. A warm discussion followed the application, and the legal adviser of the corporation was appealed to to explain why, in face of therecent act of abo htion, the parishioners were still laid under contribution. The answer was that the rate was legally made under the 13th Elisabeth, and that the Church Bate Abolition Bill made provision for an exceptional rate like this. Hopes were expressed that no such application would be made again, and there was some talk of petitioning parliament, but the application in the end was granted. A CITY CLERK SELF-ACCUSED OF FORGERY. — A young man, about 17 years of age, named Alfred Kirk, rft connected, was brought before the local bench at rnsgate, yesterday, charge upon his own confession, with having forged a bill for 10/. upon the East London Bank in the name of his employer*, Messrs. Barry, Fitz morris, and Co., of No. 9, Mincing-lane, London, on the 18th of July last. It would seem that he came down to Ramsgate on the 4th instant, and ever since he had been leading a fast life. He gave himself up to Superintendent Pritchard, of the Harbour police, on Sunday morning, and be was then quite destitute, having had to sleep in the open air upon the cliffs the previous night. Be •es spending the 10/. that he had obtained by forgery, he had also got into the debt of several tradesmen of the town between Si. and 10/. in about the space of eleven days. Superintendent Pritchard communicated with the young man's employers, and asked the bench to remand him until he had received a reply. Kirk, who admitted to the magistrates the truth of the forgery, was then remanded a day. Sub sequently a telegram was received from Messrs. Barry and Co., stating that they should not prosecute Kirk, but would write fuller particulars. The bench decided to de tain him in custody until the promised communication was received from Messrs. Barry. FRIGHTFUL FALL OVER A CLIFF.—On Friday afternoon a lad named Henry Corker, who had been adopted by Mr. John Davis, assistant warder at the con vict prison, Portland, was playing in the recreetionground attached to the establishment, with some other lads of his own age. The playground is at the top of a cliff over looking the sea, and is bounded by a wall four feet in height. The deceased climbed on to this wall and, miss ing his hold, fell a depth of about 150 feet, and was killed on the spot. His body was recovered the next day, frightfully crushed and dis fi gured. and at an inquest held the same evening a verdict of " Accidental Death " was returned. A recommendation was made by the jury that the wall should be raised a few feet to prevent the recur rence of such a lamentable accident. Cuntors DISCOVERY.—Last week the servants of Mr. John Robertson, fisherman, Banavie, when cutting peas, came upon a calf's skin, made into the shape of a bag, and filled with what has the appearance of being archangel tar. It must have lain where it was found from time immemorial, for the peat moss above it was just as solid as any other pert of the moor, and it was fully three feet below the surface. Another of the same was found in the moss on the opposite side of the river Lochy, four years ago, similarly embedded. For what purpose it was intended it was hard to say ; but a guess has been hazarded that the tar was intended to have been dragged to the top of the hill, and used for the purposes of a beacon in days of old. THE TABLES TURNED. The Orpheonista of Grenoble, having refused to sing the cantata of M. Bel montel, expressly composed for the inauguration of the -tutus about to be erected at Grenoble in honour of Napoleon 1., were asked by the municipal authorities to reconsider their decision. They did so, and again refused by a majority of 48 to 21, on the ground " that agricul tural, mutual, academical, and musical societies had been repeatedly told from the highest quarters that they bad no right to interfere in politics; that they felt bound to defer to such high authority, and could, therefore, take no official East in the inauguration of the statue." THE Yerleti CAVAIONAC INCIDENT. Quite enough, in our bumble judgment, has been made, both in France and in England, of the recent scene in the hall of the Sorbonne, when young Cavaignac declined to go up to take his prize. Who wins prizes, who gives them away, and who refuses them, is no business of ours, and the sen timent of the occasion is not one in which we can feel an unrestrained sympathy. If, however, we are to be come parties to the a ff air by expression of opinion, let our position be worthy of the English name. The Times of yesterday said :—" Young Cavaignac had no right voluntarily to take advantage of the Impe rial University, and to compete for the Imperial prizes, and then use the opportunity to insult the Emperor's son." As to the right of boys to insult one another we shall all agree. There is no such right, there can be none, and to do so is very foolish. But apart from this, the language of our contemporary is astounding. Anyone nit acquainted with the history of France might have supposed, from the language we have quoted, that theboy Cavaignac had been taking advantage of some institution which the Emperor in his liberality has founded and en dowed ; no one would infer from it that the university was one of the national institutions of France, existing before Napoleon HI. was bons, and only imperial in the sense iu which under Louis Philippe it was royal. Although it is the policy of the second empire to set its seal upon all that belongs to France, and call everything by its own name, the fact is that young Cavaignac by merely learn ing his lessons and obeying his masters has acquired a better title in the University than any Bonaparte can ' , how. A boy goes to the University which it pleases Napoleon 111. to call imperial, just as a young English man goes to Eton or Oxford, because it is usual, without thinking one moment whether this or that party or dynasty is uppermost. The idea of the schools and universities in France being imperial in the sense of the Times is as ludi crous as the suggestion that young Cavaignac should not win prizes in the schools of his native laud unless he is prepared to do homage to a child who ought to have been at home learning his own lessons, when he was sent to award honours to boys older and better instructed than hires elf. General Cavaignac was fighting for France when Louis Napoleon was conspiring against the government. We agree with a French contemporary that it was unwise to bring the sons of two such men face to fuse. —Daily Neva. A FRENCH MILITARY SPY. The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Nem mentions the following fact : " A few days ago a stranger put up at the principal hotel at Hendeld, a little town half-way between Cassel and Fulda. He entered his name in the strangers' book as " Leroi, peintre, i Paris." 'This seems innocent enough, for artists, generally at least, are very harmless mea ; but the landrath, who is at the bead of the polio°, smelt a rat, and gave orders that the stranger should be watched. In this manner it was soon established that M. Leroi was taking very exact sketches of the town itself and the whole of the neighboutcs_Llple this, the Landreth, accompanied by the paid the ftwr a visit, and confinn ' =eir suspicions that he was accustomed to wield heavier weapons than a painter's brush. M. Leroi, by no means em barrassed (Freeichmen seldom are), replied in broken German, that he was indeed a painter, b ut that he would not deny he was also something el se-In short, a French captain and a member of the general stag. The landrath immediately took possession of all K. Leroi's papers, which he must have found a very interesting study. Besides the numbrous sketches above alluded to, there were many extracts from works referring to mili tary history ; also an exact memorandum of tine houses of the town, the numbers of men that could be quartered in them, and notes for the beet distribution of the cavalry and infantry. The landrath went to Camel for instructions, and the Prussian General Plonaki wished to have the culprit forwarded to that city under escort. But the landmth, though evidently a shrewd man, must also be a good-natured one, for, at his representations, the general gave up his more wrathful intentions, and M. Leroi was allowed to escape, on giving a written promise to return to France without lose of time." FOUR .PERSO.K.S DROWNED NEAR MORECAMBE. • About sewn o'clock yestetaay morning a party of excurbionata, seven in number, from Yorkshire, left Morecambe for the purpose of bathing in the bay. They went on to what is known as Old Scar Bank, about two miles from Morecambe. The tide was coming in rapidly at the time, and as soon as they had bathed they discovered that they were being surrounded by the water. There is a channel on either side of the bank, and the water in it was of a considerable depth. Becoming alarmed, they all rushed into one of the channels, in the hope of crossing it ; they soon, however, got out of their depth, and a fearful struggle for life ensued, only one of the number (Isaac Ackroyd), a blacksmith, of Blackpool, being able to swim. Three of the party, John William White, aged 12 years, of Bradford ; Francis Giles, 17, and William Caldwell. 26, of Sheffield, instantly disappeared, and wore drowned. Richard Wilkinson, aged 40 years, of Sheffield, who had tried to save the boy White, was picked up in an insensible state by a boatman named Woodhouse, and, although means were adopted to restore anima tion, they proved unavailing. The other three mon, John Henry Ackroyd, Isaac Ackroyd, and Henry Gila', were also received into the boat, and but for the timely arrival of Woodhouse, would no doubt have been drowned. An inquest was held upon the bodies at More cambe last evening. Woodhouse, who was highly com plimented by the jury for the promptitude which he had displayed, said that if the four deceased had remained still on the bank until he came to them, they would all have been saved. The jury returned a verdict of "Acci dentally drowned."—Manchester E.rrt»iiner. M.-(THIS DAY.) -•••-- Ly, AUOIIf Tr G•IN B. I W. I :ST 18. 8 A.N. 1 - F. Extreme. ltn 12 F D.

With the exception of foreign stocks, which are inquired for, and show an improvement, partly in response to the receipt of better prices from the Paris bows., the markets for public securities are fiat to-day. The English funds are dull at the decline of yesterday. Railway shares are still offered, and have experienced a further moderate reduction. The public hold almost entirely aloof from these soca rifle*, but the_ speculators for a fall have made sales for the account, in consequence of the de crease in the traftic of the principal lines.

When they had raised the score to 39, Mr. Money tried the slows at Willsher's end, but no separation being effected at 63, Mr. Gilbert Grace deposed Mr. Money. Of course the ground was all in favour of the batmen, who both kept scoring steadily, and in about equal proportions. In Mr. Graces third over, Biddulpb missed stumping Humphrey.

(THIS DAY) The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was held at 1 o'clock, at the London Tavern, Mr. J. C. Sim in the chair. . . The report said :—" The directors have much satisfac tion in informing the shareholders that the business of the company during the peat six months has continued to be of a favourable character. The general revenue ac count shows a balance of 241824 12s. Ild., from which the board propose to declare a dividend at the rate of 9 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, which will absorb 23,4901., leaving 1,6921. 12s. I Id. to be carried forward. Since the last general meeting, the board have been anxiously considering the urgent recommendation of their manager to lay a third large main. During this interval, the directors in Berlin have confirmed the ne cessity of this outlay, and although the board are very unwilling to expend any further Large amount on new works, so long as there is a chance of the property of the company being purchased by the government, in the year 1881, they feel they can no longer take the responsibility of declining to lay this additional main. This new work is estimated to cost about 36,0001." The CHAIRMAN in moving the adoption of the report, alluded in congr atulatory terms to the increase of the com pany's business during the last six months, observing that there was an increase of 1,8001. in the net revenue over that of the corresponding period of last year. In the year ending June, 1867, the dividend amounted to 8f percent. ; so that that now recommended showed an improvement of I per cent. He then referred to the proposed third main, which he said was partly intended for the relief of some existing portions of the company's service. The present mains scarcely sufficed for the supply of the ex tremities of the city, and the directors could no longer delay assenting to the scheme of Yr. Hawkshaw, sup ported as it was by the directors in Berlin, to con structt an additional main. One reason for doing this was that the friendly disposition of the local government had been more manifest than before. The terms were not yet settled, and required serious consideration. The cessation of the concession in 1881 would not be the abolition of the company's property, it would simply open the supply of water to other companies ; but one great object of the directors in the negotiations was to prevent the govern ment from exercising its right of pre-emption on the basis of a valuation in 1881. The directors had, indeed, no fear of competition, as the company already supplied half the city with water. Mr. J. C. Picrineond.-Ctrximrs, director, in seconding the motion, entered into some details with the view of showing the desirableness of constructing the proposed main. _ _ . . . The report was adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 9 per cent. per annum having been declared, the proceed ings terminated in the usual manner. SHIPPING INTILLIGENCB.-(THIS DAY.)

He reminds them that there is " no real liberty for the body without liberty of the mind," and requests them " to point out to their fellow-countrymen the degraded and miserable condition to which a regime of priests has reduced the noblest race on the earth." THE NEW BATHING ESTABLISHILENT AT SPA. —The inauguration of the newly-built bathing establish ment at Spa, in Belgium, took place on Saturday. The King and Queen were to have been present on the occasion, and great preparations had been made to receive them in a becoming manner by the inhabitants. The precarious condition of the health of the Crown Prince, however, prevented the royal guests from participating in the fits. Their ab sence, and the cauve of it, threw a gloom over the entire proceeding's, which were confined to the opening of the Baths and the banquet, for which invitations had already been distributed. The Ring was represented by 11. Primes, I the Minister of the Interior.

The amount of gold sent into the Bank to-day was 35,000/. Messrs. Bischoffsheim and Goldschmidt have issued the following circular with reference to the new French loan : We beg to inform you that the total subecriptions to this loan amount to, in round numbers, 880,245,7001. ster ling, of which 4,188,2301. represent the applications for 6 ice. rente to be allotted in full, and of which 876,067,4701. represent the applications made for larger amounts. The exact proportion of stock to be allotted to each subscriber is not yet announced, but you may, in the meantime, receive back nine-tenths of your deposit on application at the Imperial Bank (Limited). No applica tion, however, can be attended to without the production of the receipt issued by the bank. Two valuable legal works, bearing upon the inte rests of the mercantile community, have just been published by Messrs. W. Maxwell and Sons. One of them, " A Treatise on the Law of Fraud and Mistake, as administered in Courts of Equity," by I Mr. W. Williamson Kerr, of Lincoln's-ion, deals with a subject so various in form and colour as to seem to set all systematic classification at defiance. It should be noticed, however, that fraud has a much more extensive meaning in equity than in law. Mr. W. W. Kerr's work deals with frauds in trades, frauds in sales by auction, frauds upon creditors, &c., and with the manner of impeaching the same. The second volume, by Mr. R. G. Williams and Mr. Gainsford Bruce, of the Middle Temple, entitled " The Jurisdiction and Practice of the High Court of Admiralty," is a very com plete manual of the practice of the law and the practice of the court which decides the greater number of the questions that arise in connexion with our vast shipping interests. The traffic returns of the Great Western Rail way of Canada for the week ending the 14th inst., show a decrease of 9561., compared with the corresponding period of 1867. Advices from Gibraltar, dated Saturday, state that three days' quarantine have been imposed on arrivals from London and Hartlepool. Other ports, including Southampton, have free pratique, with clean bills of health. The coupons of the Egyptian Government Loan of 1862, first and second issues, due Ist September, and the bonds drawn for redemption, will be paid at the cffice of Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen on and aft( r that date. It is notified that the subscription list of the Tower Subway Company will close on Thursday next, the 20th instant. RMURKS. Barometrical presume are higher in the south west of Ireland and on the west onset of France, but have decreased on other coasts—principally oa the south and east coasts of England. The least prrware , 2 1 r56 inches, is at Portsmouth, di ff ering from that at tia by half an inch. Temperature is lower at western and southern stations. Strong winds from the northward prevailed yes terday evening in the south of England, and have increased to a motherly gale, now blowing at Plymouth and Holyhead. At Toulon a north westerly gale is reported. Rain has been heavy and continuous on the C ha nnel coast. Thunder and lightning have occurred at Liverpool and in London. The weather is misty in the north, sad generally overcast on other coasts. The Registrar General for Ireland's return ex hibits a decrease of 46,811 acres in the total area under flax in 1868, compared with 1867. This decrease is spread over every county, with the exception of Wicklow, in which there is an increase of five acres. In the province of Ulster the decrease amounts to 42,408 acres. Of the entire number (1,640) of scotching mills in 1867, 1,418 were in Ulster. TRIALS OF A CLERGYMAN Is NEW SOUTH Warta.—A correspondent of the Times, subscribing him self " A Colonial Chaplain," in a letter on the work ing of the voluntary system in the Colonies, thus sketches the position of a member of his own class in New South Wales:—" I knew a clergyman who possessed the main qualifications of the MCI . Mike, but was placed in this unfortunate situation :—He had to minister to two small townships that were separated by a river ; several persons on each side of this stream refused to support him because he would not give them the bulk of his attention. But part of his charge was another village about ten miles off, and a still more important part was a small town 30 miles in another direction • while he was also expected—when he could fi nd ti me—to visit the sheep stations down the river for 60, 60, or 70 miles. Between the contending claims of these various places his salary fell off and dwindled down to one half, if not one third, of what was considered therairriounesupport. When I was sent to the place, in hopes of bringing matters to a better condition, the poor man was living in a slab eoriage with rough bark roof; and in some parts no Boor, a sickly wife and several young children depending upon him. A bill of 201. or 30L, if not more, was due at the neighbour ing store for common necessaries ; while the little farmers, carpenters, gold-diggers, &c. around were living in abundance. No wonder that his constitution, which was not the strongest, but yet sufficient for fair work with fair maintenance, succumbed at last to the pressure of various trials, till a widow and children were left to the charity of others. I believe that many such cases might be found upon inquiry, not indeed ending in death, but struggling with real hardship for want of deserved pay." A CIIIIRCE ON FlRE.—About 3.30 on the morning of Sunday smoke was observed to come from the tower and spire of the parish church of Oundle, North ampton, and an alarm was raised throughout the town, the inhabitants responding with great alacrity, and by great exertions in two hours the flames were got under, there being no scarcity of water threnighout, although several pumps were dry. The peal of Win (the finest in the whole county) have suffered much, the first, second, third, and tenor being cracked, one of them, through the heat, being literally broken in two. The tire is attributed to spontaneous combustion, originating in a platform filled with sawdust, which, when the church was restored was placed there to deaden the sound of the bells on the ringers. The whole frame work of the belfry was in a blaze; the falling of the clock weight on the th ird bell caused the beam to snap and the bell to break. The church has only been restored within the last few years and a new and valuable organ erected. so that the parishioners have cause to be thankful for the extinction of the flames so soon. The church is insured in the Imperial Fire-office. CURIOUS EFFECT OF LIGHTNINO.—The follow ing singular fact has been communicated to the Academy of Sciences by 11. A. Bobierro, a well known physicist. About a fortnight ago the city of Nantes was visited by a violent storm. Flashes of lightning followed each other in quick succession, and a gentleman, who happened to et oesing one of the bridges of the Canal de Bretagne at the tune, suddenly found himself enveloped in a blaze of light. The phenomenon lasted little more than a second, and caused no unpleasant effect. On returning home, the informant, having occasion to count the money in his purse, arrived at the conclusion that he must have received a piece of 50 centimes instead of a half napoleon. But, on a closer investigation, he discovered, to his astonishment, that the piece of money he had taken fur silver was really the gold one, but covered with a thin film of silver. The following is t he explanation given by M. A. Bobwrie of this strange occurrence. The half-na poleon had been put into the compartment of the purse adjoining that containing silver coin. The electric thud had volntired part of the latter metal, which, in this state, had penetinted through the leather partition, and depo sited itself on the gold piece with remarkable uniformity. This is the first time such au effect has ever been ob served. IfINE&-(THIB DAY.) ONB O'CLOCK.

MURDEROUS ATTACK ON A GAMEKEEPER NEAR ROTLIZSBAX.—A serious conflict took place between • gamekeeper and a poacher on Sunday morning, at Aston, a few miles from Rotherham. A gamekeeper named John Smith, in the employ of Mr. H. Terabit, of Aston Hall, heard the report of a gun on his master's estate, at half wit 2 o'clock in the morning. He proceeded to ascer tain who fired the shot, and caught two men in the act of poaching. One of them, a miner, named Josiah N was pursued by the keeper and overtake Pinding he could not escape by running, thepoacher presented a loaded gun at his pursuer, and three to fire if he ad vanced another step. No thing daunted, the keeper made a dash at Northall who fired the gun, but missed his object. In the smile which ensued the poacher forced mud into the keeper's mouth, battered his face and head with a stone, and would have committed further violence but for the arrival of a policeman. The man was then captured, and was yesterday committed for trial by the West Riding magistrates, at Rotherham.—MasoArster Ts:winker. — Thelioard of Admiralty, consisting of Sir A.
