The S ou th African Irrigation and Investment Company is established with a view to aid in the furtherance of those bpublic undertakings in the South African Colonies, includ yg th e C ape of Good Hope, British Raffraria, and N a t a l, which their resources may be more fully developed; the result being in the opinion of the Directors, certain to prove most satisfactory to those who embark their capital. *bi h e Company's oper a ti ons will embrace three main I st , That of a Land and Irrigation Company. '2d. That of a Public Works (more especially a Light ing, Paving, and Water Company) ; and 3d. That of a Trust, Loan, and Investment C om p any . It has seemed wise to the Directors to combine these ob jects in one company, since, while all are en ti re ly com patible, and can be very properly undertaken under one management, the heavy expenses of offices, directions, and se rvants for separate companies will thereby be avoided. „,The So uth African I rr i ga ti on an d I nvestment Company, 'vane meeting the wants most keenly felt at the present time by the S ou th A frican Colonies, cannot fail to realise to its Shareholders ample returns upon the capital. As a L an d and Irrigation Company it will enter upon a soilMo st promising field of operations. Large traea s of fertile a the rivers, and in the great It :coos or plains of the ' , gantry, are to be purchased at very low prices, which, irrigation works, in dams, tants, or water leadings from ri ' v rol may be averted,core by no great outlay, into proper ties many times tgl value. The Government returns for 1860 of tl'e value of landed estates in these coloniess hav e bee show t h a t Wor where by pr i vate enterprise irrigation k n. cod on farms, the enhancement of value h as b een from five nstructe to tenfold ; and as such results fleaacytoenibeeri achieved b y pr i vate enterprise, yet more Bads °r results may b e l oo k ed for where labour is more ranieed and scientific skill is brought to bear. The Company will not only purchase lands with a view to re -sale after the construction of irrigation works, but will take con recto for the construction of like works upon Government and private lands. It is known to be in con templation in next session of the Colonial Parliament to in troduce a bill to facilitate the construction of a series of Go vernment tanks, and to secure on the capital employed in such works on Government land a Government guarantee of at least 6 per cent. per annum. Africa the prospect is eq ua ll y inviting. There is scarcely a to t wn of mag nx nitude Which i s not now prepared to offer Mos liberal and remunerative terms to this Company, to become to it a constituted Water and Gas Company; and Port Elizabeth (now the commercial Capital of all South- Eastern Africa), caused a Bill to be introduced into last session of the Colonial Parliament, charging the whole property of the town for £BO,OOO, to guarantee at least £ 5,00 0 per an num on outlay for works for water supply. The Directors feel that the present is a most favourable ep liertunity for the e s t a bli s h men t o f a C ompany for Public Works, and they confidently anticipate that they will be able to_ complete arrange men t s w ith t h e authorities at Port -tlizabeth to become its Lighting, Paving, and Water Company, so as to ensure a most favourable commence roent of business, and facilitate future operations. It may °e mentioned that in towns where, by authority of local hMunicipalities, water-works h ave b een cons t ruc t e d , th ey Soave Proved sources of very large profits on the capital u an d t h e only Gas Company in operation in per S outh tent Africa pay s annual dividends varying from 15 to 20 one a Trust Company a very considerable and profitable e can be d.ne.

STRANDING OF A WHALE.—The Beluga, one of the monsters of the eeep, was left on the beach by the ebb ing tide, on Saturday last, at Robin Hood's Bay. It is supposed to have been dead ten or twelve days. It mea sured in length 17 feet, and 12 feet 10 inches in circumfer ence at the thickest part. The blubber was taken off by the fishermen the following morning. The Beluga, or white whale, is a native of the high northern latitudes, and is one of the most beautiful and active of its race. Its colour is pure milk white, sometimes tinged with a rose colour, or a slight wash of yellow, and the skin is very soft, smooth, and slippery. The flesh of thi s animal is eaten by the Greenlanders and other people of the Arctic regions. It is as red as beef, and of somewhat similar flavour. The female produces one or two at a birth, towards which she displays the strongest attachments—Yorkshire Gazette, vl_-- ~~ e i.. • * -0- (`- ; ..% • All , 411. ~....a .... ..

A county meeting of the inhabitants of Lanca shire, convened by the Lord-Lieutenant, was held in the Town-hall this day. Among those present were the Earl of Derby, Lord Stanley, M.P., the Earl of Sefton (Lord-Lieutenant), the Earl of Wil ton, Lord Skelmersdale, Lord Egerton of Tatton, Lord Grey de Wilton, M.P., Lord Edward Howard, M.P., the Hon. A. Egerton, M.P., Mr. Wilbraham Egerton, M.P., Sir T. Hesketh, M.P., Mr. Bazley, M.P., Sir Robert Gerard, the Hon. G. Cavendish, Mr,, W. J. Legh, M.P., Colonel Gray, M.P., Sir H. de Trafford, Colonel Black burne, Sir J. L. Bardsley, Canon Stowell, Colonel Munn, Sir I. K. Shuttleworth, Mr. H. B. Farnall, C. Turner, M.P., Sir E. Armitage, Sir T. B. Birch, the Meyors of Manchester, Preston, Warrington, Ashton, Blackburn, and Stockport; Messrs. H. Ashworth, S. Ashton, N. Eckersley, T. Clegg, J. Heald, R. Ascroft, L. Heyworth, Entwistle, W. A. F. Saunders (High Sheriff), &c. On the motion of the High Sheriff, the Earl of Sefton, lord-lieutenant of the county, was called to the chair. The LORD-LIEUTENANT briefly explained that he had convened the meeting in consequence of a requisition ne nan receives rrom Lb.—Gm-16v° com mittee of Manchester, and that its object was to ob tain a declaration of the intention of those who were connected by property, or other ties, with the county, in case the present alarming distress in the cotton districts should continue. They had openly given out that they were desirous of obtaining as sistance from all parts of the country, and in answer to their appeal very large sums of money had been contributed; but they had been fairly reminded in the public prints, and by their private friends, that more was expected from those whose landed pro perty, or sources of A ealth, were more particularly connected with the distressed districts. The noble lord called upon the Earl of Derby to move the first resolution. The Earl of DERBY, who was received with great cheering, said—My Lord Sefton, my lords and gentle men, we are met together upon an occasion which must call forth the most painful, and at the same time ought to excite, and I am sure will excite, the most kindly feelings of our human nature. We are met to consider the best means of palliating— would to God I could say removing—a great na tional calamity, the like whereof in modern times has never been witnessed in this favoured land—a calamity which it was impossible for those who are the chief sufferers by it to foresee, or if they had foreseen to take any step to avoid—a cala mity which though shared by the nation at large falls more peculiarly and with the heaviest weight on this hitherto prosperous and wealthy district—a calamity which has converted this teeming hive of industry into a stagnant desert of compulsory inaction and idleness, and which has converted that which was the source of our greatest wealth into the deepest abyss of impoverishment— a calamity which has impoverished the wealthy, reduced the man of easy fortunes, brought distress upon those who have hitherto been somewhat above the majority of the world, owing to the exercise of a frugal industry, and which has reduced honest and struggling poverty to a state of abject, humiliating destitution. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, it is to meet this calamity that we are met together to-day, to add our means and assistance to those efforts which have been so nobly made throughout the country generally, and I am bound to say in this county. also, as I Shall prove to you before I have closed my remarks. (Cheers.) 1 know how impossible it is by any figures to convey an idea of the extent of the destitution which now prevails, and I know how impatient large assemblies are of any extensive use of figures at all ; but at the same time it is impossible to lay before you the whole state of the case without trespassing on your atten • tion with a very few statistics which shall show throughout this district the extent, if not the prey • sure of the present distress. I think I shall best give you an idea of the amount of the distress and destitution if I do so by very shortly comparing the state of things which existed in the districts to which I refer in the month of September, 1861, as compared with the month of Sep tember, 1862, and that again, which is only about two mouths ago, with the latest information we have up to the 22d of last month. Now I find that in a district comprising in round numbers 2,000,000 of inhabitants, in the fourth week of Sept., 1861, there were 43,500 persons receiving relief; in the fourth of Sept., 1862, there were 163,498 per sons; and in the short space which has elapsed since the last week in September and the third week in November, the number of 163,000 has increased to 259,385 persons. (Hear.) I will now compare the amount of relief supplied by the parochial funds during the same periods. In Sept., 1861, the amount of relief given per week was £2,259; in Sept., 1862, it had increased to £9,674; and in the week ending Nov. 22 it amounted to £17,681. The prU portion of those receiving parochial relief to the total population was as two and 3-10ths per cent. in Sept., 1861; as eight and 5-10ths per cent. in Sep tember, 1862; and as 13 and s.loths per cent. in Nov., 1862. (Hear.) Here, therefore, we have more than 13 per cent. of the whole population ac tually at the present moment depending for sub sistence upon parochial relief alone. Of the 259,000 persons receiving relief there were 36,800 old and infirm, nearly 98,000 able-bodied adults, and nearly 124,900 under the age of sixteen years. But it would be very far from giving you an estimate of the extent of the distress if we were to confine our observations to those who depend for support upon parochial relief. We have evidence from the local committees which we have extensively em ployed, and whose services have been invaluable to us, that of persons not relieved by poor rates, but relieved by local committees, there are no fewer in this district than 172,000, making a total of 431,395 persons out of 2,000,000, or 21 7-10ths of the whole population—that is, more than one in every five— who are dependent for their daily existence either upon parochial relief or upon public charity. (Hear.) Now, I have said that figures will not show sufficiently the amount of distress, nor I am happy to say, will figures show the amount of re lief contributed for remedying that distress. But let us take another test, and let us examine what has been the result, not upon the poor who are de pendent for their daily bread upon their daily labour, and many of whom are upon the verge of pauperism from day to day, but I will take as a test what has been the effect upon the well-to-do arti san, upon the frugal, industrious, saving man, who has been hitherto somewhat above the world. I have but an imperfect test, because lam only able to obtain the amount of deposits withdrawn from the savings banks—the best of all possible tests if we could carry it up to the present day—up to the middle of June last, when the distress had hardly begun. I find that from seven banks alone in this comity, in six mon th s , an d those too in which the distress had not reached its present height,. o thing like it, there was an excess in the withdrawal any thing of deposits over the ordinary average it withdrawal to the amount of £71,113. (Hear, hear.) Now, re member that this is up to June la st, when the pres• sure had hardly begun ; and from that time it has been found impossible to obtain from the savings banks themselves such returns as would enable us to present you with any further estimate of the existing withdrawals; but that they must hav e b een very large must necessarily be inferred f rom the great increase of distress which has taken pl ace since the large sum I have mentioned was with drawn in excess of the ordinary withdrawals. Now, gentlemen, picture to yourselves, I beg of you, what a state of things this single sum of £71,113 in ex cess of the average withdrawals from the savings , e.. ~~ ~ 1 t z l'ki S PAPER (Ti!iri' 2- i ••-.-vetx_ /,„ ,„, -- - : . izA-. .. -;'.. -, 4%,e -v 4 . , • t-:, tr.._ rtribution of thus& funds entru4te4lol . 116 , 40 *,ixs be guarded against all possibiiiiiit"fi, PA? they should be distributed wititlf:,. ~; ~/ reference to political or religious optgonsir-ldisC . buted with the most perfect impartiality, and in levery locality, through the instrumentality of par ties in whom the neighbourhood reposed confidence. Such has been our endeavour, and I think we have been successful. (Cheers.) With these observa tions I have only earnestly to request you this day to do your part towards the furtherance of this good work. I have no apprehension that, if the distres should lost for five or six months longer, the spon taneous efforts of individuals and public bodies, and the contributions raised in every part of the country, will fail short of that which is needed for enabling the population to tide over this deep distres s, and I earnestly hope that, if it becomes necessary ultimately t o a pp e al to Parliament as a last resource, the representatives of the country will not grudge their aid. Ido hope and beli..ve., :however, that with the usSisti.nce oft he machinery of ine bill passed last year, and which will come into operation after Christmas, this great manufacturing district wIL I be spared the humilia tion of coming before ParliamOr as a claimant or suppliant for the bounty of the nation at large. (The noble earl resumed his seat amid great cheer- I' 2 - - PR1CE........ 4 d. STAMPED ....sd. banks presents—what an amount of suffering, what an amount of disappointed hopes, and what a prospect of future distress, this fact lays before you for the working and industrious classes. (Hear, hear.) Why, gentlemen, it represents the blighted hopes of many a family. It represents the small sum set by by honest, frugal, persevering industry, by vears of toil and of self-denial in the hope of its being, as it has been in many cases before, the foundation of colost;a1 fortunes. But it also represents the gradual decay of the hopes for his family of many an industrious artisan. It is the first step in that downward progress which has led to destitution and pauperism. The first step is to withdraw the sav ings of honest industry, and that is represented by the withdrawal from the savings banks. Then comes the sacrifice of some little cherished article of furni ture, the cutting off of some little indulgence, the sacrifice of that which gave to his home an addi tional appearance of comfort and of happiness ; the sacrifice gradually, one by one, of the principal articles of furniture, till at last the well-conducted, honest, and frugal, saving workman finds himself on a level with the idle, dissipated, and improvi dent—obliged to pawn the very clothes of his family —nay, the very bedding on which they lie, to ob tain the simple means of subsistence from day to day ; and encountering all that difficulty, encoun tering all that distress, with the noble independence Mitch ao anything rather than depend on public or private charity, and in his own simple and emphatic language declaring, " Nay, but we'll clem' first." (Hear, and cheers.) Now, gentlemen, this leads me to observe a more gratifying point of view—that of the noble manner, a manner beyond all praise, in which this deep destitution has been borne by the population of this great county. It is not the case of ordinary labourers who find them selves reduced a t rifle below even their former means of subsistence, but it is a reduction of the pecuniary comfort and almost of the necessities of men who have been in the habit of living, if not in luxury, at least in the extreme of comfort. It is a reduction to two and three shillings a week of sums which have previously amounted to 255., 305., and 40s.—a cutting off of all their comforts, of all their hopes of future additional comforts or rising in life—a feeling—an honourable, an honest, but at the same time a morbid feeling of being indebted under these circumstances to relief of any description or kind. I may say that among the difficulties which have been encountered by the local relief committees, no doubt there has been many of those not among the most deserving who have been clamorous for the aid held out to them, but one of the great difficulties of the local relief committees has been to find out struggling and really distressed merit, and to overcome that feeling of independence which even under such cir cumstances like these shrinks from being relieved Bradloi, even by private charity. (Hear, hear.) I know Earl Lord Kingsdown that eases of this kind have happened—that cases Lord Grey de Wilton .. have occurred where it has been necessary to press 6ir T. Birch on individual persons, themselves on the point of Messrs. Rathbone and C" - starvation, the necessity of accepting this relief, and The from this place I take the opportunity of saying— and I hope it will go far and wide—that in circum stances like the present, discreditable as habitual dependence on local relief may be, it is no degrada tion, no possible cause of blame that any man, how- Mr. J. C. Ewan, __ ever great his industry, however high his character Mr. Anderson or noble his feeling of self-dependence, should feel Mr. J. Heald himself obliged to have recourse to that christian Sir ' 1 " charity which I am sure we are all prepared to give. (Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, I might here, as far as the resolution I have to propose is concerned, close the observations I have to make to you. The reso lution I have to move, indeed, is one which calls for no extensive argument, and which, with a plain statement of facts such as I have laid before you, is sufficient to obtain your unanimous assent. The resolution is—" That the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and the adjoining county are suffering from as extent of destitution hitherto happily un known, which has been borne by the working classes with patient submission and resolution, en titling them to the warmest sympathy of their fel low-countrymen." (Cheers.) But, gentlemen, I cannot in the first place lose the opportunity of asking this great assembly with what feelings this state of things should be contemplated by us who are in happier circumstances. Let me say, with all reverence, that it is a subject for deep national hu miliation, and above all for deep humiliation for this great county. We have been accustomed for years to look with pride and complacency upon the enormous growth of that manufacture which has conferred wealth on so many thousands, and which has so largely increased the manufacturing in dustry and population of this country. We have seen within the last twelve or fourteen years the consumption of cotton in Europe extend from 50,000 to 90,000 bales a week. We have seen the weight of cotton goods exported from this country in the shape of yarn and manufactured goods amount to 983,000,0001b5. in a year. We have seen this trade constantly and rapidly extend ing. We have seen colossal fortunes made, and we have been proud, and, as a county, perhaps, accus tomed to look down on those less fortunate dis tricts whose wealth and fortunes have been built on a less secure foundation. We have reckoned on this great manufacture as the pride of our country, and as the best security against the possibility of war in consequence of mutual interests between us and the cotton produciug districts, and we have held that in the cotton manufacture was the pride, the strength, and the certainty of our future national prosperity and peace. lam afraid we have looked to this too much in the spirit of the Assyrian mo narch of old. We have said to ourselves, "Is not this the great Babylon that I have built for the house of the kingdom, by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty ?" But in that hourlin which the monarch used these words, the word came forth, " Thy kingdom is departing from thee," That which was his pride became his humi liation. That which was our pride has become our punishment. That which was the source of our wealth, the sure foundation on which we knelt, has become itself the instrument of our humiliating po verty, which compels us to appeal to the charity of other counties. The reed on which we leaned has gone through the hand reposed on it, and has pierced us to the heart. (Hear.) But we have happier and more gratifying subjects of contempla tion. I have pointed to the noble conduct which must make us proud of our countrymen in the ma nufacturing districts. I have pointed to the noble, h ero i c s ubmission to difficulties they could ne ver foresee, and privations they never expected to be subject to—and again we have another feeling, which the country has nobly met, and which, sure I am, will not be disappointed, that this is an oppor tunity providentially given to those bl esse d with wea lth and fortune to show their sympathy—their pra ctical, active, earnest sympathy- w i t h t h e suf bf e l r e s in s in g s g of m a t y h ei it r b e a p poorer r b b r i e n t d h t r o e gh n e , t ander more with c I G o s o e d l y 's great comma- Importing tea without colour on the leaf pre than ever the variou s c l asses i n this vents the Chinese passing off inferior leaves as in the usual nity, to satisfy the wea l thy that the poor have a k i nds.

Sir. R. GERARD seconded the resolution which was unanimously agreed to. The Mayor of MANCHESTER then moved the fol lowing :—" That the expectations atfirst entertained of an early mitigation of the present distress have been disappointed by the constant increase of its intensity, so that the subscriptions contributed with the hope of alleviating a transient calamity should now be increased to meet the aggravated evil." The Mayor of LIVERPOOL seconded the resolu tion, which was supported by Mr. A. EGERTON, M.P., and agreed to. Lord STANLEY, M.P., then moved :—" That while this amount of destitution should be regarded as a national calamity, attributable in a great measure to events which could not have been foreseen nor avoided, it has therefore a claim on the sympathy and co-operation of the country at large. The primary duty of relieving it devolves on the county of Lancaster, whose wealth in former prosperous times has been so largely increased by the industry of those classes now suffering such distress." Lord E. HOWARD seconded the resolution, which was agreed to.

The right of possession in the refreshment-rooms at the Worcester station, on the West Midland Railway, has been the cause of something border ing on a riot. The matter came before the Wor cester magistratss yesterday, when a man named named Thomas Jarrett, in the employ of the railway company, was charged with a violent assault upon Walton, the tenant of the refreshment rooms. The facts which gave rise to to the charge were briefly these :--For some time a dispute has existed be tween Mr. Walton, the the tenant of the refresh ment rooms, and the railway company, as to the terms of his taking, and matters were brougnt to a crisis on Sunday last; The rooms were locked up as usual on Saturday night, and on Sunday morn ing, on the attendants going to open them, they found the doors and windows barricaded, and a posse of railway workmen stationed to prevent any in- , gress to the rooms. Mr. Walton was at once communicated with, and he thereupon got together some 20 or 30 men, and armed with an axe he was proceeding to cut down the barricades to effect an entrance, when the railway advanced, and Jarrett, selecting Mr. Walton for attack, aimed with a blow at him with a bludgeon, knocking him down sense less. He was carried away from the scene of action, and a general fight between the twp parties seemed inevitable, when a body of police arrived, and put a stop ty the fray. Jarrett was taken into custody, and on Monday afternoon appeared before the magis trates. (The Mayor, Mr. Sherriff, being the mana ger of the railway, did not act.) A medical certifi cate was read stating that Mr. Walton was too ill to attend before the bench, and Jarrett was accord ingly remanded for a week. A great deal of popu lar feeling appears to be excited. The railway officials on leaving the hall were hooted and mobbed, and had to be escorted by the police through the town. The refreshment rooms were still closed yesterday, to the inconvenience of travellers. FOREIGN MAIL RACKET LIST. MAILS DUE. Aut,ralia and Mauritius, via I‘ S i o a u r t s h e a il m le p s ton.

In this order they ran along the far side of the course, and into the line for the Stand, the field presenting a length ened tail as they passed the Enclosure. At the jump to the right of the Stand gladiator fell, which left Harry in pbssesion of a long lead ; but Nightingall easing him a couple of fields from home, Chester, who was lying second at that point, persevered, and finished six lengths in rear of the favourite, who won, however, in the commonest of can ters.

Going along the far side, Maydew fell, and Gammage, the jockey, was severely shaken. At the last fence but two, Miss Emily fell, and her rider sus tained a cut on the right eyebrow. Approaching the last fence Longrange joined Strike; Forlorn Hope close up. A spirited contest to the judge's box ensued between Strike and Longrange, the former ultimately winning by three quarters of a length, two lengths separated the second and third, Diadem finished a similar distance in the rear of Forlorn Hope, Nana Sahib was fifth, Coroner sixth, and Deception seventh.

HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST, 8801111-ITON. A quarterly court of the governors of this charity was held on Thursday last, Captain the lion. F. Maude, R.N,, in the chair. The quarterly report of the committee of management showed that since the last quarterly court the western side of the hospital had undergone the periodical repairs, on the completion of which the number of in-patients had again been raised to the ordinary complement of nearly 200. The chief event of the quarter, and which afforded cause for thankfulness to all those interested in the welfare of the hospital, was the payment of the sum of £6,000, the balance of the mortgage debt of £9,000, which had long been a bur den on the institution. To effect this object all but the smaller legacies had been for a considerable time invested; and the payment of this large sum not only absorbed the whole of the funded property, but had also nearly swallowed up the balance in the bankers' hands. The committee, how ever, looked forward confidently to a continuance and ex - tenaion of the support with which the charity had been favoured by the public, in order that they might be able to meet the constantly increasing demands upon the hospital resources on the part of the suffering poor who resort to it from all parts of London and the country. The receipts of the charity had been injuriously affected, doubtless, by rea son of the distress in Lancashire, on which the public sym pathy was naturally concentrated. The committee appealed to the friends of the institution not to lose sight of the pressing claims upon its resources, during that large portion of the year, especially, when the comumptive poor suffer so much from the cold and damp of this climate. In the interests of the in-patients, and on the strong recommen dation of the medical committee, the committee proposed to recommend the appointment of an honorary dental surgeon to the hospital. The appointment of dispenser was reported vacant by the death of Mr. Prall, at an advanced age, after 13 years' service. Only four legacies had been announced during the quar ter, viz. :—Mrs. Elizabeth Hogg, £3OO ; Mrs. Charlotte Holmes, £lOO reversionary; Wm. Barber, Esq., £2OO, duty free; J. A. Cropper, Esq., £lOO. The number of in-patients admitted since the 7th o August was 293 ; di scharge d, man y greatly benefited, 235 .. f died, 42; new out-p a ti ent cases , 1,712. The report having proceedings closed by a cordial vote of thanks to the chair man. been adopted by the meeting, the 7HE STABBING CASE IN 7HE STRAND. coroner for the Duchy of Lancaster, held an investi gation Yesterday aftern o on Mr. J. R. Payne, the at George's Hotel, Sti and, respecting the death of Mr. Edward Leigh, aged 24, whose death was the result of a wound in the abdomen inflicted with a cheese knife at the Somerset Hotel, in the above -mention locality. Hugh Morris, porter at Dane's Inn, who is under remand from Bow -street police-court, on the charge of causing the d eath of the above gentleman, was present, accompanied by Mr. Willis, his solicitor. Inspe c t or W est Was pres en t on th e par t o f th e police, attended. and many gentl emen i nterested i n the case str T e h et e oenvidtheneeeprwevaieous day. At its close the same as that given at B ow - A gentleman produced a letter which had been sent by deceased to him the second day after the occurrence, in which he desired that he would for ward to Morris his kindest regards, and assurances of good will. The Coroner then asked Morris if he desired to make any statement, or give any account of the oc currence to the j ury. Morris, on being sworn, said he wished to express his deep felt sorrow and regret that such an event had happened. He confessed he had drunk too much, and knew of nothing that had occurred until Mr. Leigh turned pale, and hung down his head. They had been - out for a walk together, and deceased had been in the habit of fencing in play, and had taken lessons. He did not even recollect the dinner —in fact nothing whatever, until deceased was wounded. The shock sobered him. They had had no quarrel, for deceased was a man no one could quarrel with. The Coroner having summed up the evidence, The jury, after a short consultat i on, returne d a verdict of " Accidental Death."
