MEETING THIS DAY. I A public meeting was held today at the London Tavern, for the purpose of giving expression to the strong feeling of sympathy which existed in London in favour of the movement which had lately taken placo'in Greece. Mr. Crawford, M.P. for the City of London, presided. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the meeting, con gratulated the assembly on the success of the steps that had slowly taken place to restore Greece to her proper position amongst the other nations of the world. They were not there that day to discuss the subject of who was to occupy the vacant throne of that country, but solely for the purpose of testifying how strongly they feel interested in the struggle now being carried on in Greece for liberty. The country had for years been subjected to the domination of one who had shown himself utterly incapable of Government, but he trusted that the future happiness would in a great measure compensate for the sufferings of the past. (Cheers.) Mr. B. COCURA.NE, M.P., moved the first resolution He said it was no fault of the people of Greece that their country had fallen so low in the scale of nations. They, owing to the tyranny and bad Government they had been subjected to, were entirely blameless for the lost reputation of Greece. The late King had tried their endurance to the utmost limit, and when it became so infinitely bad they rose as one man and threw off the incubus that had weighed them down. (Cheers.) All that was now wanted was wise and judicious counsellors, and, if those were obtained, Greece would take that position which was her right. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure in moving the first resolution, which was as follows : " I. That this meeting, recognising the mutual interest of the several states of Europe in their common welfare and progressive advancement, desires to express its hearty sym pathy with the efforts now being made by the Greek people for the political regeneration of their country. The resolution was carried amidst loud cheers, as were also the following:— " 11. That as Englishmen they have long behold with regret the•depressed condition of the Greek nation, through the mismanagement of a ruler who, acquiescing in the vio lation of solemn fianancial engagements, and indifferent to the consequent destruction of its public credit, disregarding the stagnation of the internal industry of the country, and withholding all encouragement to the development of her great natural resources, has met with the just punishment of expulsion from his government and country. " 111. That entertaining the conviction that the natural and inherent right of every nation to choose its own form of government is now too well understood throughout Europe to admit of external interference in the affairs of Greece, this meeting is as fully persuaded that in the re organisation of their political affairs the people of Greece scrupulously respect the rights of all other states. " IV. That the chairman of this meeting be fequzatea to transmit these resolutions to the Greek committee, and to assure them that in its opinion the admirable moderation and unanimity which have marked the recent political changes in Greece entitle her people to the moral support and warm sympathy of all civilised nations." A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings. SUSPECTED DEATH F.ROIII ABORTION. CORONER'S INQUEST.-(THIS DAY.) The adjourned inquest into the circumstances connected with the death of Ellen Saunders was resumed this morn ing before Mr. Payne, at the George Tavern, Strand. Mr. Dickie, instructed by Messrs. Charnock, of Gray's inn, appeared for Mrs. Dr. Goss, of Groat Queen-street, Lincoln's inn-field. On the former occasion Mr. Makin stated he attended the deceased some days ago and found her suffering very much from premature child birth, which she alleged had been brought on through fright. Re attended upon her until her death. Mr. Edwards, surgeon, of Great Rus sell-street, said he made a post mortem examination of the body of deceased, and found the bowels very inflamed and some of the intestines perforated. Death had been caused by the inflammation, and drastic medicines for the pur poses of abortion might have caused the result. Some of the relatives of the deceased said she had taken some pills given to her by a person whom she had consulted, and the inquiry was adjourned for the purpose of allowing that party to attend. Mr. Dickio said he had read the evidence which had been given on a former occasion, and he should like to put a few questions to the medical gentleman. _ _ Mr. Edwards said he could not say positively that the pills spoken of had been used to procure abortion. Mr. Dickie—lf you had not heard of the use of instru ments indirectly, could you say, from the appearance of the body, that they had been used ? Mr. Edwards—No, I could not. Mr. Makin said the pills found at the house of the de ceased had been sent to Dr. Alfred Taylor for analysation, and were found to consist of aloes, myrrh, and gamboge, which was a drastic medicine, and when used in large quantities would produce abortion, but in small quantities it might be taken with beneficial effect. He could not say that the ulceratit;n had been caused by the pills. The Coroner asked Mr. Dickie if he intended to produce Mrs. Goss for examination? Mr. Dickie said he should decline to do so, on the ground of not critninating his client by putting her in the witness box. Mr. Edwards was recalled, and said he saw a box nearly full of pills in the deceased's room, but no empty pill boxes. The Coroner then summed up the evidence, and remarked the ulceration spoken of could not for certain be attributed to the pills deceased had taken, which, according to the medical evidence, might have been safely used in small quantities, so there was no case against any one; but if it had been satisfaetJrily proved that they had been taken in large quantities to produce abortion, then matters would stand very differently, because it was an offence of a very serious nature on the part of all parties concerned in such an act. The jury, after a short deliberation, said they were of opinion that death had been produced by ulceration of the colon, but there was no evidence to show how it was caused. LYRICS OF LOCOMOTION. LAY OF THE LONDONER. (From Fun.) IVarly walking on all of us go, Each with a dirk ready held up the sleeve, Taking a stick to return with a blow, Tko grasp we may get from a ticket-of-leave ; Looking about lest a fellow surprising. Us, forth from some dark alley savagely flew, This is the style of pedestrianising, Through London in eighteen and sixty and two. Armed with a six-barrelled shotted revolver, Daring the danger of dusk in the Strand, Picking our way with a knife for a solver, Of what knotty problem may come to our hand; Looking to left of us, looking to righ. - of us, Steadily marking the course we pursue, This is the way that a couple, each night, of us, Go to our homes in the year sixty-two. Back to the days of the old city Charley®, Back to the times of oil-lamps in the streets, Back to the age when compelled to hold parleys With highwaymen ready for Turpin.like feats. Calling for aid, no police at the station, To cope with a cowardly night-prowling crow, And this is the height of our civilisation, In England in eighteen and sixty and two. THE ORIGIN OF LUCIFER MATCHEs.—The original process, by which man first succeeded in produc ing fire, consisted in rubbing two pieces of dry wood to gether. This process, which is, however, still in use among many savage tribes, was speedily superseded, in the first period of civilisation, by the revolving wooden disk and cylinder, and this, again, by other and improved methods, until the tinder-box was introduced, with its flint and steel, and brimstone match. This venerable antique kept its ground for ages, and the time is still within the memory of many living men when it constituted our most approved means of obtaining fire. However, when, with the new era in chemistry, so many and such glorious dis coveries followed each other in rapid succession, to be applied with the same marvellous rapidity to the arts of life, the " manufacture of instantaneous light," as it has not unaptly been termed, also made a gigantic bound forward, and th e so-called Briquets phosphoriques, or inflammable match phials, made their appearance some forty odd years since. These consisted of a small phial of glass or lead, either with a bit of phosphorus inside, slightly oxi • dised by stirring it round with a red-hot iron wire, or ' filled with a mixture of cork-raspings, wax, petroleum, and phosphorus, incorporated by fusion. The phos phorus, or the mixture in the phial, served to kindle sulphur matches dipped into it. The so-called oxygenated matches were an improvement on the Briquets Phospho • riques. These matches consisted of splints, either tipped with sulphur or not, which were dipped in a paste, made of a mixture of pulverised chlorate of potass, flowers of sul phur, sugar, and gum arabic, with water, and were then kept in a warm place, till they were thoroughly dry. To kindle one of these matches, it was dipped into a small well stoppered phial, with strong sulphuric acid in it, thickened with asbe,tos. These were the greet improvements which more immediately preceded the invention of the fricti , nor instantaneous light match, which, by alto g ether dispensing o , of with the phial, made the process of striking adlilingght tinder, ne - extreme simplicity.

POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DISTRESSING CASE.—DETERMINED ATTE:III'M SITI CIDE.—Maria Bastard, a respectable-looking young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following deter mined attempt at suicide : On the 18th of September last the young woman, while in service in Princes-street, Hanover-square, attempted to destroy herself by cutting her throat with a minor. She was immediately taken to the Westminster Hospital, where till to-day she has remained. She now appeared in court a pitiable condition, scarcely able to articulate, and inserted in her throat was a silver tube, she having made the at tempt on her life.with such determination that she had severed the windpipe. The young woman's mistress was in attendance, and said that she was a most excellent servant, and well conducted, but she had observed her at times rather desponding. Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was quite clear the young woman was not in a fit state to be at large, and ordered Sharvill, the under gaoler, to convey her in a cab to the House of Detention on remand for a few days. On leaving the dock the poor creature became very ex cited, and was taken out of court in a fit. ROBBING A COUNTRY VISITOR TO THE CATTLE SHOW. ....11_arpgsiod young fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyr w hitt w ith s t ea l ing a gait, of £l7, the property of Mr. John Morris, farmer, of Oak ham, Rutlandehire. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Mailborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. Mr. Morris said be was in London for the purpose of visiting the cattle show, and on the previous evening went to the Haymarket Theatre. He had paid for one ticket, and while paying for the other felt a push from behind, and at the same moment a tug at his watch chain, and his watch was drawn by the prisoner's hand from underneath his (Mr. Morris's) Inverness cape. Mr. Lewis put questions to the prosecutor, but he was positive the prisoner was the person 'who took his watch. Kelly, a linkman at the Haymarket Theatre, proved pick ing up the prosecutor's watch, which had been broken from the chain, at the pit entrance of the theatre. Speechley, 573 A, while on duty at the Haymarket Theatre, saw the prisoner standing at the entrance, and heard Mr. Morris say that prisoner had taken his watch. Prisoner paid he had not douo it, and that he was a gentle man, and it was impossible he could have done such a thing. Mr. Lewis said the prisoner, acting under his advice, would plead guilty. Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said he know the prisoner, but did not know whether he had been committed. Committed for four months, with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. A DISAGREEABLE SURPRISE.—A dirty looking woman, giving the name of Mary Ann Everett, was charged with being drunk and creating a great disturbance. Police constable 329 B, said that at half-past seven last evening he heard great screams in Belgrave • •place, and on going there found the defendant,who still continued scream ing, and complained that her daughter struck her. She had been previously in the hands of the police and let go. A gentleman is now present at whose house she had made a great disturbance. Mr. Craven, of St. Michael's-terrace, Pimlico, said—On unexpectedly arriving home at half-past five last evening I found this woman in my house and my wife in a dreadful state. I found the defendant had been in the habit of coming to the house and by intimidation extorting money from my wife. She had been there in the course of the day and had refused to leave. She then had her taken to the station, wren she threw stones at her and behaved very ill. She was then permitted to go at large, but re turned, thundered at the door and disturbed the whole neighbourhood, Mr. Arnold—Do you know anything of her P Complainant—To my great surprise I discovered last night ;hat this woman was my wife's mother. Mr. Arnold—Were you not acquainted with that fact be fore P Complainant— I was not; I did not know even of her existence until last night. Defendant—She has always disowned me. lam not fine enough for her. Complainant—And another very extraordinary thing is that my wife's sister—another of this woman's daughters—. has been living servant with us and I did not know it. For 14 years I have been deceived. Mr. Arnold—And you not know your wife's sister all ;hat time. Complainant—l assure you I did not; I never thought of such a thing. Mr. Arnold—lt is a very odd discovery. Complainant—lt is. My wife confessed it. This woman has been for years living upon me ; I may say that she has had hundreds from my wife. She has been constantly there during my absence threatening her. Defendant—l have not had hundreds; how can you say so I' lam poor, so my daughter don't own me. Mr. Arnold ordered the defendant to enter into recognis ances to keep the peace for six months. THAME R. HIGHWAY ROBBERY ♦ND ASSAULT BY A WOMAN. — Catherine Sweeney, an Irishwoman, was brought up on remand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with assaulting and robbing Ann Tuby, the wife of a labourer, dwelling at No. 81, Spring-gardens, a court leading ouk of High-street, Whitechapel. This was not a garotte robbery and outrage, but one committed from motives of personal revenge, and attendee with considerable violence. The prisoner had been impri soned under a sentence of one of the magistrates of the Worship-street Police-court for assaulting the com plainant's daughter. Since then she had frequently an noyed and insulted the prosecutrix, and accompanied her abuse with the most dreadful threats and imprecations. A few evenings since Mrs. Tuby and her husband had been to a shop In Hi g h- street,Whitechapel, to purchase grocery, and were returning towards their own home when the pri soner, who was accompanied by three men, attacked her with great ferocity and knocked her down, and when she was down kicked her about the head and body. The hus band of the injured woman went to her assistance, and seized the prisoner, on which the three ruffians who accom panied her attacked him simultaneously, and beat him in a savage manner, knocked him down and kicked him while he was down. The husband was completely disabled by the ruffians. His wife had managed to rise, and the prisoner struck her again, her three companions hustled her, and shoved her from one to the other, and she was again hurled to the ground with great violence. The prisoner then snatched the basket containing the grocery just purchased, from Mrs. Tuby, and ran away, Mr. and Mrs. Tuby were both seriously injured and lost a good deal of blood. The three men who joined in the outrage and robbery were at this court on the morning of the first examination, and threatened both Tuby and his wife, It w d o not a unfortunatelyppearthnaetgleecittheedrtoof the give injured into parties gave the prisoner any provocation whatever. custody.d i h Mr. Woolrych' committed the prisoner for trial for high way robbery with violence.

A scullers' race came off yesterday for £l5 aside, but was marred at the commencement by an untoward accident.

PUGILISM. PATSY REARDON AND JEM DILLON von X200.--The match between these well known members of the ring was originally fixed to come off the same day as the late encoun ter for the championship; but as it was pointed out to the backers of the belligerents that there was no chance of the contest being got off, owing to Hicks and Gollagher having also decided to fight in the same ring, they arranged to postpone the meeting between the combatants. The combatants were confined to lOst 21b, and on Mon- , day went to scale at Bob Travers's new house, near Leices ter-square, when both were within the mark. An aquatic trip had been resolved upon ; and, . for the purpose of being up and away betimes, the start from the metropolis was fixed to take place at an early hour, so that, the expedition was well on the journey long before break of day. After a rapid voyage with a strong swinging tide, a debarkation was effected on well known ground, when Fred Oliver, the commissary, lust no time in forming the lists. Reardon had for his seconds George Crockett and John, Hicks ; Bob Travers and Jerry Noon (the eccentric and un defeated) waited upon Dillon, who was far from being in such fine condition as his antagonist. The odds were 6to 4in favour of Dillon. At seven minutes to nine o'clock the men were left to commence their gallant battle. The open ing bout was an extremely long one, lasting 31 minutes, and in this round the first of the three leading points was gained by Reardon with the left. On the termi-, nation of the fourth round the belligerents had been con, tending one hour and one minute, these bouts having each been of long duration, and the men all the time remarkably busy. As the battle progressed the combatants fought with increased rapidity, and round after round the contest; from the fearless manner in which the men fought, became in tamely exciting. Again and again the rallies took the men all over the ring, Reardon, who had now a decided lead, administering left and right on the head; while Dillon, with the right, was effective on the body, stopping his man at times with the right guard very cleverly. In the sixth round Reardon sent his man to grass, and in the seventh Patsy again delivered a telling blow when Jem wont down, so that the second of the leading points was thus ecided in Reardcar's favour. t'..‘o confident were his friends, and such a lead was he considered to have, that the odds of 10 to 1 were offered. On the finish of the twelfth round the contest had lasted one hour and 23 minutes. Still the game Dillon kept coming up, round after round, with undaunted bravery. In the first ring there were 39 rounds fought, in two hours and 42 minutes—Dillon in the last two of these bouts having made his chance look much fairer by two heavy falls which he gave his opponent—when the police made their appearance. Hostilities were of course sus pended, 'When the ring had been formed a second time, the belligerents went to work in the same gallant and de termined style as before. In the second ring there were twenty-seven additional rounds fought, in favour of Rear don, although the manner in which Dillon contended to the last was truly heroic. At this point the ring was broken in in Jem's corner, and for the last half-dozen rounds there was a good deal of confusion, during which the police arrived. In the whole there were 56 rounds fought. The aggregate time (two rings) was three hours and eleven minutes. The backers of Reardon claimed the battle, as the ring was broken in at Dillon's corner, for the purpose, as they allege, of gaining time to let the police come up. The referee, in the confusion that prevailed, refused to give any decision until ho had seen the stakeholder this day, when, doubtless, he will give such a decision as will meet the merits of the case. Oliver had a very thankless office to discharge, and it is only right to state that, in the appeals made (though some of them were of a frivolous nature), he acted with strict im partiality. DEATH OF MR. W. G. R. GRATWICKE.—The death of the above well-known sportsman took place at his seat, near Arundel, on Friday last, after a long and severe attack of bronchitis. As Mr. Gratwicko died unmarried, we have no doubt the whole of his horses in training, which lately went to Harry Goater's, at Littleton, as well as his valuable collection of brood mares, will shortly come to the hammer THE FRENCH IN MEXICO.--A letter from Puente-Nacional, of the 30th October, in the illoneteur do l' Armee says :—" The corps commanded by General de Bertier, which had left Vera Cruz for Japan, found on arriving atSanta Fe, a town of about 5,000 inhabitants, the streets and houses deserted, some poor and infirm persons alone remaining. Those persons stated that Gen. Comon fort, who commands the Mexican army, had everywhere prohibited the conciliatory proclamation of Gen. Forey from being posted up, and told the inhabitants that those who carried on any intercourse with the French would be put to death. In consequence of those threats the inhabitants fled at our approach. The other towns and villages through which our troops passed were also abandoned from the same cause. At Boca del Portreru, at Telomeo, and at Paso de Avigas not a single inhabitant was found. The read to Jalapa, which is followed by Gen. de Bertier, is about 235 miles in length. The Spaniards formerly used it for the passage of their artillery and military convoys, but it is now in a very bad state. The carriages of the waggon train found great difficulty in getting along, and could not go on an average more than three miles a day.
