" ` ice; - TEETH.-By MR. ESKELL'S INVENTION -a- (Royal Seal granted 17th July. 1860), Sets or partial Sets of Teeth, exquisitely enamelled to nature, are made and fitted in a few hours by means of his patented soft elastic and imperishable base of the colour of the gum, to which it ad heres with wonderful tenacity, dispensing with springs or unsightly fastenings, and defying detection by the closest observer. The peculiar attribute of Mr. Eskell's invention is, the readiness with which these teeth can be re-adapted to any change of the month (even by the wearer); and as they act independently of all disturbing causes which affect teeth of ordinary construction, they are guaranteed to last a life time, as well as for mastication and articulation.

Cohill. noster-row ; Mann, _ w ;4; bundays, to yin 'lours 01 Consultation -10 to *not MR. COBDEN AND HIS CONSII7UENIS ROCHDALE, WEDNESDAY. This evening Mr. Cobden addressed a large meeting of his constituents at Rochdale at Mr, Tathem's machine shop, in the neighbourhood of the railway station. The room, which will hold about 3,000, was densely crowded. The Mayor of Rochdale presided, ond the mayors from several of the neighbouring towns, a large proportion of the prin cipal manufacturers, and a mass of operatives were present. The proceedings having been opened by the Chairman, Mr. H. KELSALL moved, and Alderman LIVESEY se conded the following resolution : " That this meeting views with dismay the enormous public expenditure of the country, which unnecessarily in creases the burdens of the people, is subversive of their best interests, and perilous to constitutional government. This meeting is also of opinion that a comprehensive measure of Parliamentary Reform which would secure a more faithful representation of the people is absolutely essential ; and re membering the pledge with regard to financial and Parlia mentary Reform given by the r esent Ministry prior to their accession to pow er , calls upon them to carry out those pledges, or to retire from office." Mr. COBDEN, M.P., on risini r was received with great cheering. H e said—Mr. Mayor, ladies, and gentlemen, before I address myself to the general subject involved in the resolution which is now before you, I will with your permission say a few words on that subject which is most near to my feelings, as it must be to every one concerned with this borough. I allude to the present state of distress in this district. I should like if I could to say a few words that might contribute towards making the cause of your sufferings better understood, and also clearing up any mis apprehensions that may exist with regard to the position of this district. Among our fellow-countrymen in others parts of the kingdom I should like to say. a word or two in refe rence not only to our own interests in this disaster, but also to the responsibility and duty arising out of it which fall on all parts of the kingdom. Now you are suffering here very much in the same manner as you would be if England were engaged in a foreign war, and this country were placed in a state of blockade to prevent the ingress of cotton for your mills. That would be a state of things which would be accepted by the whole kingdom as an affair which concerns the whole community. All England and the United King dom would come to your rescue ; any necessary amount of expenditure would be incurred in order to rescue you from , the danger which assailed you, and to compensate and in demnify you for the injuries which you might have sus tained. (Hear.) There is very little difference in principle from such a case and that in which you are now really in volved. You are suffering not from a blockade of Lanca shire, but from a blockade of the Southern ports of the United States. Both arise out of a state of war, both arise out of the principles recognised in the conduct of war. And as the Government of this country are assenting parties to such principles of warfare, and as it is an evil arising out of a war which you cannot provide against, which you cannot re medy, and for which you are not responsible, then I say it must involve the same consequences, that your sufferings should be shared and your case relieved by the efforts of the whole of the community of the United Kingdom. (Hear.) Now, this principle has already to some extent been recog nised by the course which has been pursued. In other parts of the kingdom there has been a considerable amount of sympathy manifested and efforts made to relieve the distress of this district. I do not measure the amount of assistance which is to be rendered to you by what has been done. I only say that the principle has been recognised; because in all parts of the United Kingdom an effort is being made to come to your rescue, and to mitigate your sufferings and your losses. (Cheers.) If I could say a word or two which would tend to remove any misapprehensions that in my opinion operate in such a way as to stay the progress of that effort of humanity in other parts of the kingdom, I should think my time very well employed on the present occasion. There is na doubt that much misapprehension exists, par ticularly in the southern part of the kingdom, with regard to the state of matters here. I am not surprised at it ; because I, who was born in the south, who have been an immigi ant in these regions, and who have returned to the south, am perhaps better acquainted than many of you with the extreme ignorance which prevails in the south of Eng land, and in London even, with reference to the state of society in this district. An attempt has been made to throw blame upon a large number of persons interested, I 'would rather say . involved, in this calamity. I should not say a word here in defence of the great capitalists in Lancashire, because they are very well able to defend themselves—if it were not that the misrepresentations with regard to their conduct have a tendency to chill the sympathies and check the charity of our fellow-countrymen elsewhere. (Cheers.) I am not going to undertake the defence of any class, there are good and bad individuals in all classes, but, fortunately for the world, the good predominates everywhere but with reference to the particular facts with which we have to deal. I will say that there seems to be much to allege on the part of those who are bringing these accusations against the ca pitalist class; for this is a calamity which has befallen both the capitalists and the working classes, and if it continues long enough is will pain them both. I would illustrate the yosoloa or a mitiowner spinning coma oy arawing a Loin parison which will be understood by my fellow-countrymen in the south of England. A millowner who spins cotton is somewhat similar to a flour miller who grinds wheat. Let us suppose a calamity had occurred by which all the mills in the south of England had to be shut up everywhere, and let us suppose, in addition to this, . that those mills which were closed were liable to be rated to the relief of the poor, and that cottages, which were, generally speaking, owned by the millers in which the labourers lived, ceased to pay rent when the workpeople ceased to receive wages, and yet that both the cottages and the mills continued to be rated to the relief of the poor. Suppose, simultaneously with such a crisis as that, we had raised a cry that the corn millers, whose trade was paralysed, ought, in addition, to keep all the people who were out of 'work. That would be just as reasonable as the accusation which many of us have heard brought again s t th e owners of mills in this reg i on . (Cheers.) I last week came from Scotland, by way of Carlisle, Ken dall, Lancashire, Preston, and Bolton, to Manchester, and came through a succession, I might say a forest, of smoke less chimneys ; for to all purposes of productive value the machinery in these mills might just as well have been in the primitive form in which they were substracted from the mines, they Were so utterly valueless a property. And we must bear in mind that though a few of the millowners are rich men in floating capital as well as in fixed capital, yet the great bulk of those who own cotton mills in this coun try are not rich in floating capital; t h e y are rich in bricks, mortar, and machinery, when they can get cotton to make those elements productive. Take your own borough; what is its position at the present moment ? 1 have obtained some authentic facts upon that point since I have come here— and I am reminded that it is the Rochdale relief district. This district contains 95 cotton mills, employing 14,071 persons. Of these there are out of work 10,793, and the remainder, 3,278, are not earning on the average more than two days' wages a week. The relief committee assist weekly 10,041, who receive no aid from the rate : the guardians are relieving weekly 10,000, making a total of 20,041, and the number of destitute is daily increasing. I am not, bear in mind, speaking to you here so much as speaking to my fellow-countrymen elsewhere, who are less acquainted than I could wish them to be with the actual state of this desti tution. In speaking, then, I am speaking in the interest of you, the working men present and your families. Now, bear in mind that for all this destitution the whole of the manufacturing capitalists in this region are liable to be rated to the relief of the poor; and there is the millowner first losing the whole amount of the interest of his capital and the depreciation of his property. Suppose, for instance, that his mill is worth £20,000, that is a very modest estimate for the average value of the mills which are closed. The moment his mill is shut up he loses £2,000 a year in inte rest and depreciation ; but, generally speaking, he has also a number of cottages, in which workpeople live, and these people cease to pay rent when he ceases to pay wages. Still the cottages continue to be rated to the relief of the poor. Not only is the millowner, therefore, suffering from the loss and depreciation of his capital, but also the amount which he is liable to pay for poor rate, which may be £5OO or £6 00 a year; that millowner, therefore, without going to a cen tral committee in Manchester to put his name down for £lOO or £5OO, is inevitably, by the nature of his position, incurring a greater loss by that distress than any amount contributed by the richest nobleman of thisland towards the fund. It bas been said that the millowners and capitalists have not gone to some central committee meeting and put down their names for £l,OOO, along with some of the bankers or great landowners who have none of the risks and charges attaching to their property, which I have described ; but the millowners and manufacturers, generally scattered and dis persed throughout the country, have their obligations at their own doors, and they have apprehensions of a long continuance of the distress. I heard a sanguine man say, when I was in Manchester the other day—l sincerely hope he did not take a too gloomy view of affairs—but I heard a merchant, who has as good an opportunity as any man of arriving at a sound judgment from the best information ob tainable, say that it was his opinion, and the opinion of many others, that there would be no prosperity for the cot ton trade for five years to come. Everything is uncertain for the future. It is the fixed property which constitutes the great wealth of your manufactures, and that will re main to be rated to the poor, and will be rated as long as the owner has got a shilling of floating capital to pay his rates. The manufacturer and the spinner may therefore well pause and say, " We thank you, gentlemen and noble lords, who come from a distance to throw in your mite to help us in this great calamity : but do what you will, and be as thankful as we may, the loss and suffering to the mill owners, and their contribution to the distress of the land, must be greater than that of any other class." I will not confine myself to the capitalist classes. Next, let us sect what the working man is sure to suffer by this calamity. Let us take as an illustration w h at is happening at this ' moment in Rochdale. I find that the weekly loss in this district from wages alone cannot be less than £6,000, or £6,500, and although only at the beginning of your distress, you are at this moment losing from your in come at the rate of £300,000 a-year. The relief afforded from the relief fund is at the rate of about £6OO a week,and lam told that the 24 boards of gu udians are distributing £3OO a week to the poor, I will not call them paupers. We will not allow them to be called by that name. They arc the distressed, or rather the blockaded poet. Well, then, the working classes of this district have lost £6,500 a week in wages,and are obtaining relief from the board of guardians and the voluntary relief committee at the rate of £1,500 a week, so that they are in point of fact receiving from both those sources only about one-fourth of the income they earn by the honest industry of their hands in ordinary times. Now, gentlemen, coupled with this question is another,upon which I must say a few words. We are placed in this tre mendous embarrassment in consequence of the civil war In America. Now,don't expect me to be going to venture upon ground which other politicians have trodden, with, I think, doubtful success or advantage to themselves. Do not think I am going to predict what is going to happen in America, or to set myself as a judge of the Americans. What I wish to, say is a few words to throw light on our relations as a nation with the American people. I have no doubt what ever that if I had been an American I should have been true to my peace principles,and that I should have been amongst, perhaps, a very small number who had voted or raised their protest in some shape or other against this civil war in America. There is nothing in the course of that war which reconciles me to the brutalities and havoc of such a mode of settling human disputes ; but the question we have to ask ourselves is this—What is the position which, as a nation, we ought to take in regard to the Americans in re ference to this dispute. It is no use arguing what was the origin of the war or to advise its discontinuance. From the moment the first shot is fired, or the first blow is struck, farewell to all reason and argument. You might as well argue with mad dogs as men when they have once begun to spill each others' blood in mortal combat. 1 was so convinced of that fact during the Crimean war, which you know I op posed—l was so convinced of the utter uselessness of raising one's voice in opposition to war when it had once com menced, that I had made up my mind that, as long as I was in political life, should a.war again break out between Eng land and a great Power, I would never open my mouth upon the subject from the first time the first gun was fired until peace was made ; because it is only by the exhaustion of one of the parties engaged in the war that a termina tion can be arrived at. Now I have travelled twice nearly through every free State in America. I know most of the principal persons engaged in this contest on both sides. I have kept myself pretty well informed of all that has been going en in that country ; and though I think I ought to be as well informed as the average of my countrymen, Cabinet Ministers included, yet if you were to ask me how this contest is to end, I confess that I should feel totally at a loss to offer an opinion that would be worth the slightest attention on the part of say hearers; but this I will say, that if I were put to the torture and compelled to offer a guess, , I should not make the guess which Mr. Gladstone and Earl Russell have made on the subject. (Hear, hear.) Ido not believe, if the war in America is to be soon brought to a termination, that it will be brought to an end by a separa tion of the South from the North, There are great motives at work amongst the large majority of the people in America which seem to me to drive them to this dreadful contest, rather than see their country broken into two nations. There is a powerful movement all through Europe towards the agglomeration of the races of nations, and it is very odd that Statesmen here who have a profound sympathy with the movement in Italy in favour of Unity, cannot appreciate the force of that motive in the present contest in America. Three-fourths of the whole population in America are now contending against disunion ; they are following the instruc tions which are impelling the Italian, the German, and the other populations of Europe; and I have no doubt that one great and dominant motive on their part is that they are afraid that if they become disunited, they will be treated as the Italians were treated when they were disunited, viz., that the foreigner will come and set his intrusive foot amongst them, and play off one against the other, to the degradation and possible subjection of the whole. We have talked mush of strict neutrality. I wish our statesmen, and particularly our Cabinet Ministers, would enforce upon their own tongues a little of that principle of non-intervention which they profess to apply to their diplo macy. (Laughter.) We are told very frequently at public meetings that we must recognise the South ; but that re cognition of the South is always coupled with another ob ject, viz., to obtain the cotton you want, because, if it were not for the distress brought on us by the civil war in Ame rica, I do not think humanity would induce us to interfere any more than it does in any other war in other parts of the world ; and now let us try to dispel this floating fallacy, which has been spread through the country by interested persons. Your recognition of the South would not give you cotton, but the recognition of the South in the minds of parties who use that term is coupled with something more. Thpr, 2.a idea of going and interfering by force to put an end to that contest, in order that the cotton may be set free. If I were President Lincoln, and found myself rather in a difficulty on account of the pressure of taxation, or on account of a discord of parties in the Federal ranks, and if I wanted to see the whole population united as one man ready to make me a despot, I should wish nothing better than for England and France, or both together, to attempt to interfere by force in the quarrel. The policy to be pur sued by the North will be decided by the elections in the great Western States—l mean the great growing region of the Mississippi valley, the States of Ohio, Michigan, In diana, Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. If they determine to carry on the war, and say we will never make peace while the mouths of the Mississippi, which drain 27,000 miles of navigable water into the ocean, remain in the hands of a foreign Power, we could never expect to put a period to it. You must remember that you have to go one thousand miles up the Mississippi before yonget to that vast region, peopled by eight or ten millions of souls, that will be the future depository of the wealth and numbers of that great continent ; and whatever the will of that people is, New York is but the broker of their opinion, and New York, Pennsylvania, and New England must go with them. It is as idle, then, as the talk of children for France and England to pretend that they can go there and reach that population. There is, perhaps, another good we might do. We have seen a great country, in the very pride of its power, feeling itself exempt from the ordinary calamities of older nations, suddenly prostrated and become a cause of sorrow rather than of envy and of admiration to its friends elsewhere. What should be the monition to us ? We should ask our selves whether there is any kind of injustice unredressed in this country. We should ask if there is any flaw in our institutions, anything requiring adjustment which, if not dealt with in time, may lead to great disaster, like that which has occurred in America. It is not by stroking our beard, or turning up our eyes, like the Pharisee, and thank ing Heaven that we are not like other men, that we can avert calamity, but by protecting ourselves ; by asking our selves if there is anything in our dealings with Ireland, anything in India, anything with regard to the franchise of the people — (cheers)—which requires dealing with ; and if so let us deal with it at once, and not be left to find it out in the hour of our adversity. It is impossible to talk to you to-night without dealing with the subject that is upper most in all our minds, and is bound up with our interests closer than anything else. Before I sit down I will say a word or two in, regard to the resolution. You have been told in that resolution certain things which I am sorry to say I cannot deny, namely that the Government have not kept their promises. That is a very common thing. (Laughter.) You have been told that they ought either to keep their promises or to retire from office. That would be a very uncommon thing. (Renewed laughter.) Certainly they have not kept their promises, if they promised you retrenchment and reform. I was not in England when the new party combinations were made, when there was a compact entered into at Willis's Rooms, but 1 agree with what Mr. Alderman Livesey has said, that the Radicalswere sold on that occasion. Well now, you have had, it is true, a very large addition made to the expenditure of this country. But why has it been made? Why, it has nearly all been made for purposes of warlike defence in a time of peace I That is your great item, and it has been to protect you against some imaginary danger that you have been threatened with ? What has been the increase of which I speak ? In 1835, when Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington were at the head of the Government, our mili tary and naval establishments were under £12,000,000 per annum. Now, including the money voted for fortifications , our expenditure last year was nearly three times that amount, viz., £30,000,000. Why is that ? Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington could not certainly be sense of consi dered rash, unpatriotic men, who had not a full it,e then: responsibility as guardians of this realm. that we require pretty nearly three times aslilnouwch_id,:fGenod. us now as we required in the time of Sir Robertntirely in yernment ? There is no doubt it has been t n e e. ,_ bour a nd con sequence of the alleged designs of our nex t tgn w ho has been there can be no doubt, also, that the party y nd that we w ere promoting all this expenditure, on the g roun d _ the present has been hen 1 met in danger of an attack from F Prime Minister. I said something then just come r . twelve months ago, and h r eunities of knowing you good oppo ies'w hen l e o France, has m France, where I had had as __ een li v ing there for eighteen all about it as anybody. I bed b e a nd my friends. We months ; everything was pe n d and had access to every dockYar ' ere allowed to visit '-^ e c ame here then and told you, public w document and naPsr ,v, that this country had been as and I repeat the wort ed on the subject of the increase of much deluded and. hoaxed the country had been hoaxed since the French narf,:, a s tee . Since then, last winter, not being the time of Titul d , - , net being able to be idle, I employed my. able to sPasks out a detailed account, year by year, of all _w og self i n "iture, and the whole amount of armaments that had ePa 4.~~fL•f z-~-- .7 STAMPED been maintained by France and England in their navies. It was a most elaborate, detailed account, and in it I quoted of ficial authorities at every step; it was not an anonymous publication, but I published it all under my own name. That little work brought a heavy indictment against public men; it charged them with the grossest misrepresentation, and st Ited that the Prime Minister of the country and some others had been grossly deluding the public on the subject of armaments, having first of all, I am willing to admit, deluded themselves upon the subject. lam not going to give you any of the details or statistics which I brought 'together in that fide book, but will give you a sum mary in two lines. I took great pains to take out a tabular statement of the amount of money expended in the French and English dockyards in every year from 1835 to :859; and I took out at the same time a tabular statement of the number of seamen maintained in each year by the two coun tries. The result was that, so far from the present Govern ment of France having increased its naval force as compared with our own, it was proportionately far less year by year than it had been in the time of Louis Philippe, when Sir R. Peel was in office. I will give you a comparison between the first and the last years of these two dates. The ex penditure in wages in the English and French dockyards, and the number of seamen in the respective navies in 1835, when Sir R., Peel and the Duke of Wellington were in power, and in 1859, and the year preceding that in which Lord Palmerston proposed his vast scheme of fortifications ; in 1835 the English expenditure on dockyards amounted to £376,377, the French to £343,032 ; in 1859 the English ex penditure was 51,582,112, and the French £772,931. Mark me, there was £1,205,735 more spent in 1869 by us than in 1835, and the increase in the French dockyards during the same period was only £421,899, so that the increase in the English dockyards of the expenditure for the construction of armaments—which is the real aggressive outlay in 1855 had increased three times as much in England as it had in France, as compared with 1835. I will now give you the number of seamen, if you want to estimate the comparative power of any two countries at sea. The first comparison must be that of the number of seamen, because when you vote a certain number of seamen all the rest of your expen diture for ships' equipments, guns, and stores must bear comparison with the number of men, would be of no use without all the other appurtenances. In 1835 the number of British seamen amounted to 26,041, and of French to 16,628; in 1859 the number of British seamen amounted to 72,400, and of French to 38,470. It follows that the English had increased their number by 46,359 in 1859 as compared with 1835; while France had only increased hers by 21,842 in the same time, being less than one-half of the increase in England. (Hear, hear.) After what I have now told you, I would ask you to consider what has been the opinion of this country upon the subject of the naval preparations of France. The whole cause of the perversion of opinion in England respecting the great increase in the French navy was originated, as I have told him in his presence, by the present Prime Minister. And this brings me to the point referred to in the resolution now before you. There is no doubt that when the present Government came into power .one of their great claims to the confidence of the Liberal party was, that they could keep on friendly terms with France, and the danger was that the Tories would bring us into a war. Bat what has been the course of the Prime Minister? For three years he has hardly attended a public meeting, whether of a social, political, or charitable character without having contrived to insinuate into it an' apprehension of an invasion by France. (Hear, hear.) He promised us peace with France, and he has been calling out invasion ever since. (Cheers.) We want, I think, to ad vertise, " Wanted a Minister, who, whilst professing par excellence to keep the peace with France, shall give to the taxpayers of this country some of the advantages of peace." (Cheers.) 'Why the vulgarest ruffian who ever walked the streets manages to keep himself free from harm by carrying a bludgeon or knife in his pocket, but that is a very vulgar mode of preserving peace. In these enlightened times we want with a good understanding with France, a minister of peace, who shall be able to apply that good understanding to purposes of economy and cordial relationship between the countries, by promoting a diminution instead of force in each. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Cobden went on to declare his belies that the French would never attempt to invade Eng land, and that the proposed fortifications were unnecessary. I had always thought our navy was able to defend us, and I remember an anecdote of Nelson when he had an audience of George the Third, during the great French war. Dnr a ing the time there was a talk of an invasion, the King said, in his curious repetitive manner, " Well, Admiral; well, Admiral—do you think the French will come ?do you think the French will come ?" " Well, your Majesty," was the reply, " I can answer for it they will never come by sea." We seem now to have abandoned that confidence in our navy. Mr. Cobden then proceeded to animadvert on the policy of Lord Palmerston and the position of his Government towards the Tories, which, he con,idered, left the present Adminis tration without due responsibility. There is no remedy for such a state of things, that I am aware of, but in a change that will make the party which really governs us respon sible. Let us suppose that, instead of being, on tho Go vernment side, we were out of office. You may see it is the disposition of the Tory party to spend as much as they can on naval and military services; and that is true, un less they have been maligned all their lives ; but they would sacrifice that to their desire of keeping office, and consent to reform and retrenchment. While in opposition, they are willing to see all this obstruction to reform, because they neither have the responsibility nor the sweets of office ; and the more they can tar us with their own brush before we leave, the less we can say to them in opposition. Ido not argue in favour of bringing that party into power, but I say it is discouraging for us to see everything adminisa tered in opposition to our dearest principles. Can this sys tem go on much longer ? (No, no.) There are two prin ciples at work in the Cabinet—a good and an evil one. During the first two years of the present Government the good one was manifested in the great reform of the tariff carried by Mr. Gladstone, in reference to the French treaty, and also in respect to the paper duty. They were great and comprehensive measures; but during the last session of Parliament the evil principle of the Cabinet was wholly predominant, and gave no compensation whatever in the shape of good measures. Is that to be continued next ses sion ? If it be, then it is quite impossible, if the so-called Liberal party is true to itself, that it can continue to give its support to the Government. (Cheers.) We see, to use the language of pugilists, a cross being fought between the leader of our party and the worst part of the party opposite in which we are victimised, and you are betrayed. We must separate ourselves from that state of things if it is to go on any longer. We cannot expect that our constituents will fight the battle of reform if they see that the chief who represents them in the House of Commons is handing them over to their enemies. How would Gen. M'Clellan's army of the Potomac fight if they knew that M'Clellan had a secret understanding with Jefferson Davis and Gen. Beau regard ? Next session we shall see whether the good or the evil principle is triumphant in the Cabinet. It will be evinced by the measures. I can only say for myself, if it is to be anything like the last, my voice will be raised agains t hat such a state of thin gs. I will do my best to put an end to it, and will not forget the resolution you have passed2 s t it' e they do not carry out their pledges and principle best thing is for them to go into oppositio n. am of opinion that the true solution of our difficulties will only be found i n a re f orm o f P ar li ame nt.

The gunpowder is ignited by electricity by means of two wires, which communicate the fire to the gunpowder in the bottle, On Thursday morning one of these submarine mines was sprung by the engineers of the roads and bridges, in presence of a multitude of spectators.

Second Edition, Revised, now ready, in 2 vols. Bvo., with Portrait, THE LIFE OF EDWARD IRVING, Minister of the National Scotch Church, London. Illustrated by his JOURNAL and CORRESPONDENCE. By Mrs. OLIPHANT. From the Edinburgh Review, October :—" Mrs. Oliphant's ' Lire of Edward Irving' supplies a long felt desideratum. It is copious, earnest, and eloquent. On every page there is the impress of a large and masterly comprehension, and of a bold, fluent, and poetic skill in portraiture. Irving as a man and as a pastor is not only fully sketched, but exhibited with many broad, powerful, and life-like touches, which leave a strong impression."

A pawnbroker at Belturbf't, County Cavan, proved that the prisoner loft the watch with him, and borrowed £6 on it.

Hough, alias O'Leary, a sc:rvant, was in dicted for attempting to Ritader Mary Metcham, also a servant; by cutting her throat wig h a razor, on the 15th of July last. There had beet) some courtship between the parties, but the girl at last, following her mother's advice, refused to marry him. On the morning after she dismissed him he went to a house where she was visiting a sick child, and there made a most murderous attack on her, cutting her throat almost from ear to ear and fright fully mangling her hands. The charge was proved by' the girl herself and other witnesses, and the pri soner was found guilty of an attempt to wound and do grievous bodily harm. Before sentence vas passed he made a rambling statement. He was extremelyzorry that one of the Queen's men (he , hia beet - ,;'. 2 .itildLr) should have committed such a crime,.as he had *been granted a pension when leav ing the service in 1857_ He said, " I place myself in her Majesty's hands, to do what she pleases with me, and I remain her humble and unfortunate sn vent, my Lord." An attempt had been made to show that he was insane; - but the plea was not ad mitted, . and Baron Fitzgerald sentenced him to penal servitude for life. The Rev. J. Jebb Sargent has published a letter in the Cork. CoAtitutton, giving an interesting account of the death of the Rev. Mr. Harman at the reading-desk, while officiating with him in his church on Sunday last. He says:— Mr. Harman came unexpectedly to my vestry room, just; before service to-day, and offered to preach for me,which offer I thankfully accepted. We had proceeded in the service as far as the first lesson, which he was reading. Having made a slight mistake, he corrected himself and appeared to falter, • which made me look up, when I perceived him apparently confused and stooping. I had scarcely time to catch him in my arms and lay him gently down. Though every effort was made to relieve him, and the members of the congregation hastened to his assistance, in less than five minutes he lay a, lifeless corpse, in face of the congregation to which he had been ministering. Calmly his spirit passed away from the midst of the congregation on earth to enter the general assembly and church of the first-born. His lifeless body lay still invested with the garb of the officiating minister while the immortal spirit which lately tenanted it had been wafted by angels into Abraham's bosom. So solemn and impressive a scene it never before was my lot to witness—so awful an illustration of the truth, "in the midst of life we are in death." For that death his whole life was a preparation. Some idea of the state of the County Tipperary may be formed from the fact that during the recent sitting of the Quarter Sessions Court a gentleman who was attending a', a witness was guarded during the day by two polictznen, who sat near him, with their muskets loaded and capped, all day. jlayes is still at large. ACCIDENT IN TOOLEYS7REE7. Last night a loud rumbling noise was heard in Tooley-street proceeding from premises in course of re-construction there which were destroyed by the great fire on the 22d of June, 1861, when Mr. Braid wood, the superintendent of the Fire Brigade, was killed. In the course of a few minutes many of the inhabitants, with a body of the M division of police, under Mr. Inspector Beckerson, hastened to the spot, and upon entering Cotton's depot (Scovell's wharf) they found that three of the arches just com pleted, or nearly so, each 417 ft long, and abutting upon the waterside, had one after the other given way. Three men, who were at work at the- time. nearly under them, were completely buried amid some tons weight of bricks and mortar. Mr. Oliver, who was superintending the erection ,of the works, at once suainaoned all bands to his assistance, and one mau was taken out alive, but so much injured that it became necessary to remove him to Guy's Hospital. His name was James Miall, ofl6, Prince's street, Deptford. Owing, however, to the prompt surgical assistance he received, he was in a condition to be removed to his residence during the evening. Two other unfortunate men, named respectively Robert Hawten, of 36, Snow's-fields, Bermondsey, and Thomas Howard, of the Curtain-road, Shore ditch, were found to be completely imbedded in the ruins, and a considerable time elapsed before they could be got out, and then both were found. to be dead. The appearance of the bodies clearly in dicated that death must have been instantaneous. Several surgeons quickly attended, but, of course, could render no beneficial assistance. The bodies were at once removed to the dead house in Weavers lane, Tooley-street, to await the coroner's inquest. The cause of the accident is not precisely known, but from the examination made by the district sur veyor he ascertained that men had been engaged driving piles into the river during the day, and the inference was that the vibration caused upon the shore of the river had so shaken the foundations of the arches as to make them give way, and in conse quence he gave orders that no more piles were to be driven in last night. MARVELLOUS ESCAPE FR OM A RAIL WAY CATASTROPHE. HEREFORD, WEDNESDAY. Yesterday an excursion train from Merthyr and the hills to London was for a moment placed in the most imminent peril. It appears that between the Crumlin station and the magnificent viaduct that crosses the Western Valleys line from Newport to Ebbw Vale, at a height of nearly 300 feet, an engine was engaged in shunting some trucks on the line, when an excursion train containing about 500 per sons was seen advancing at full speed. A collision, attended with the most fearful consequences, seemed inevitable. To avert what seemed to be an impend ing death of a whole hecatomb of lives (for had they been hurled over the structure every soul must have been dashed to atoms) was a resultalmosttoomgitrhatia fying to be hoped for. Happily, however, emergency, consetan e both os L a m e -- g pr in es e r dr c i e ve o r f s, m w in it d h e a qu u a n l i t te o the d an d n tion, reversed their engines, and although the peril that at one tim e th reatened this mass of d human y beings could no t b e wholly escaped, he speed .thof the contending t ra i ns was so diminishe d that e collision which foll owe d no lives were l ost. Great damage, however, resulted to the engines, and a buffer of that drawing the excursion train was broken short off. The excursionists were generally severely shaken ; some received contusions, and, as maybe well imagined, all were dreadfully frightened —from which they can scarcely have recovered yet. The screams of the females, and of many of the other sex, at the prospect of the death that appeared to await them, were fearfully heartrending. The greatest credit is due to the heroic devotion of the engine -drivers, who, regardless of their own fate, stuck to their breaks, and thus reduced what in the future seemed to promise the catastrophe of the century to a comparatively trifling affair.
