The Sheldonian theatre is every successive year becoming more and wore like a bear- garden on the day of the Oxford Commemoration. The under graduates were yesterday so clamorous, however, were so utterly irrepressible in their unrulyness, that the Vice-Chancellor was at length compelled to close the proceedings abruptly, as he had threatened to do in the earlier part of the Encenia. Fun and frolic are all very well, but sheer noiseand senselesstom-foolery, even the crass stupidity of a Dogberry mi. ht recognize. as " very tolerable and not to be endured," VERGES himself might have been goaded into sar casm by the first and last incident of yesterday's FOR THE RACES.

Children under twelve. 64 THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1869 demonstration on the part of Young Oxford. Like the flutter of a scarlet rag before the eyes of a Mad bull was the appearance, first of all, of a green necktie, and, last of all, of a white hat before the outraged tastes and senses of the mob of under graduates. According to the Tiniesreporter, their first furious onslaught was directed against " an unfortunate bachelor who had happened unthinkingly to adorn his neck with a somewhat conspicuous kerchief. Shouts of green tie' arose, and were repeated usque ad nauseam for the space of fully three-quarters of an hour. The person was asked to retire, those in his neighbourhood were invited to ' turn him out,' he was entreated to change his tie or to take it off : one enthusiastic commoner went so far as to tear off one of his leading-strings' and offer it as a substitute for the obnoxious article. All seemed for nearly an hour to be in vain ; but importunity at length pre vailed; the offender, amid volleys of applause, quitted the house, and the academic youth were able to turn their attention to other matters." Now, surely, than this nothing could very well be more utterly nonsensical. Skipping for a momeat the whole of the intervening proceedings, however, we come to the record given by the same inexorably realistic authority, of the preposterous circumstance of these same undergra duates having their attention unfortunately attracted towards a white hat held in the hand, not worn upon the head, of a gentleman standing in the area of the Sheldonian Theatre. Quoth the reporter in record ing this " last scene of all" in this " strange, eventful " charivari " The Undergraduate is affiicted by a disease which, for want of a better name, we may term phobia.' At the sight of a hat of the obnoxious hue, ho foams, he shrieks ; be is no longer master of his actions. The solemn warning bad been given by the Vice-Chancellor ; the warning was understood to imply a probability, at least, of the abolition of Commemoration for all time to come—a terrible consequence this, which those present would, one might have thought, fully appreciate ; but all was in vain. With the hated white hat before their eyes the infuriated mob of Undergraduates could do nothing but rave and hoot ; and the Vice-Chancellor, unable to obtain attention, rose from his seat, and, accompanied by the Doctors, left the building. A volley of groans," adds the saddened recorder of these absurdities, " followed, the exact meaning and object of which appeared uncertain. 'We had thought" he ob serves, "disapproval of the abrupt termination of the proceedings was intended ; but we have since heard that the Procuratorial staff was the special object of the demonstration." Hitherto, it must be said, the undergraduates in past years, whether remote or rec.:llr, have in some measure contrived always to redeem their annual hubbub in the old Sheldonian Theatre from degenerating into an unmitigated nuisance., by inter polated cries, flavoured with wit, or in some way good-humouredly provocative of laughter. This year it has, unhappily, not been so. All the intermedizite portion of the proceedings might have been beforehand accurately enough reported by anticipation. As a matter of course the name of the University Chancellor, Lord DERBY, was cheered heartily and repeatedly ; so also were the names of Mr. GATHORNE HARDY, of Sir ROUNDELL PALMER, of the Lord Bishop of OXFoRD, and of the ex-Premier, Mr. DISRAELI—the last men tioned of whom has always had his hold somehow upon the hearts of Young England. Groans and hisses were the greeting accorded to the once popular name at Oxford, the still and more than ever dominant name in England, of Mr. GLADSTONM. Yells and howlings were the I.e,ponse to the yet more t xecrated name of JonN BRIGHT—so completely on a ?evel with he times are these wonderfully sagacious wiseacres, the younger Oxonians, yesterday crowded into the .c 4.ha theatre in their capacity undergraduates. were rung of c yurse. upon the facetious cheers awarded alternately to the ladies in pink, in blue, in yellow, to the Ladies in Hats, and the Ladies in Spectacles—until Common S.mse was fain to say—Hold ! Enough. Than all this nonsensical kind of thing °miring annually as it does at one of our highest seats of learning, surely there is nothing that could very well be more heart-de pressing or more thoroughly melancholy. Rather than witness the continued repetition of it, one would willingly realise in sober earnest the threat hinted at yesterday afternoon by the Vice-Chancellor, namely, that of putting an end, for once and for all, henceforth and for ever, to the folly, and tumult, and. absurdity of the Oxford Commemoration. A. FEW months ago the Conservatives were for ever taunting the Liberals with their want of dis cipline, with their divisions and dissensions, and they were told to compare their disorganised condition with the splendid organisation of the Conservatives. All is changed now, and the charge of to-day is, that the Liberals are so " subservient to the whip," that they will do anything, for they have passed every clause of the Irish Church Bill without alteration. Lord CLAUD JOHN HAMILTON, referring to this unanimity at a public meeting on Tuesday night, attempted to be very sarcastic about the cheers with which Mr. GLADSTONE was greeted on Monday as he entered the House. The Radicals, said his lordship, in eloquent phraseology, had received the " straight tip ; " the " ovation " was a preconcerted thing. The Whips planned it, and the docile Ministerialists carried it out. Lord CLAUD did not seem to see that this perfect harmony of action between the Whips and the rank and file is the strongest possible proof of Liberal consentaneousness. But nothing will please the Conservative party. If the Liberals quarrel they are overwhelmed with taunts, and their independence is denounced as impotence ; if they co-operate, their unity is stigmatised as base sub serviency. Lord CLAUD made another notable dis covery. The voice of the majority of the electors throughout the kingdom was mere noise and clamour; but the voice of the majority of the electors at Staf ford was a glorious voice, and a proof that the people of England were returning to right reason. A majority is a convincing argument when it is a Conservative majority, but if it is a Liberal majority, it is clamorous noise and brute force. And yet this style of thing was cheered by the people who heard it. WE are not surprised that the Duke of ARGYLL has discovered the Life Peerages Bill to be "not worth the paper on which it is written," so far as the obj ect of bringing the House of Lords into harmony with the nation is concerned. As we pointed out on a former occasion, the supposition that the nomination of two life peers a year would popularise that House is altogether absurd. It is the old story of" a pill f or th e ear th qua k e. " I n f act the " compro mise" by which Lord RUSSELL'S proposed quartett was reduced by Lord CAIRNS to a duett is simply one of the most ludicrously incongruous events that I the country has witnessed for many a year. Here we are on the eve of a great conflict between the House of Lords and the nation, a conflict which, if it be really fought, must work irreparable mischief to the first combatant, and at such a so lemn moment their lordships devote whole evenings to the discussion of such questions as will cause rich city merchants to be offended if they are offered only a life peerage? What will the daughters of life peers say if they are not permitted to call them selves "honourable "? The whole thing is painfully grotesque. The only rational ideas in connection with it were, first, that the Lords are not in harmony with the nation ; second, that the Lords must always be subordinate to the Commons. Yet even this wasques tioned. The Duk e of ARGYLL, indeed, plainlyshewed that power had once belonged to the Sovereign, then descended to the Peers, and now had descended to the Commons ; but so acute a man as the Marquilof SALISBURY denied this last assertion, and - said that the Lords had co-ordinate power with the Commons, and were subordinate only to the nation ; not seeing that the House of Commons is the mouthpiece of the nation. The matter is really hardly worth further discussion. In spite of the compromise between Lords RUSSELL and CAIRNS, Lord MALMES BURY'S " unerring instinct" sees that the measure is revolutionary, and he means to move its rejection on the third reading. We imagine that the Duke of ARGYLL is not likely to say nay to that proposal, and that in all probability the bill will be withdrawn by its author. It will not be the first time that Lord RUSSELL has had to abandon a scheme of Parliamentary Reform. He acquired so much experience of the kind in the Lower House that he is not likely to shed tears on the present occasion. Even if the bill should pass the ordeal in store for it, we do not imagine that the Commons will care to trouble themselves about anything so insignificant. They have other and more serious work on hand just now. TEE renewal of the electoral contest in France has ended in a victory for the Opposition, but this triumph has been smaller in extent and different in kind from that which was confidently expected. The people of France seem to have taken alarm at the revolutionary choice of the great cities a fortnight ago. Several official candi dates who were supposed to have no chance have defeated their Liberal opponents, and in cases where the choice lay between a moderate Liberal and a Red, the former has been almost invariably successful. The second ballot is an institution peculiar to the electoral system of France. No candidate can be elected at the first voting who does not Secure at least one-half, plus one, of the whole number of votes recorded. Of course when there are but two candidates one must be successful at the first ballot; but it sometimes happens that when three or more compete the greatest number of votes given in favour of one aspirant does not exceed one-half the whole. In such cases the election is indecisive, and a second ballot, which is decided without regard to proportion, becomes necessary. In previous years these double elections have been few. In some town constituencies the Opposition candidates triumphed ; in all others the authorities hopelessly distanced their adversaries. At the general election of 1803 the indecisive contests were not more than half-a-score. But it is one of the peculiarities of the memorable contest just over that the spread of Liberal ideas has been so universal, the struggle everywhere so close, as to produce no fewer than fifty-nine drawn battles. It was calculated with much plausibility that the 'Opposition would gain nearly all these seats. In some cases the Liberal was at the head of the poll, though failing to secure the necessary " half idus one." In others the total number of Liberal votes exceeded the number secured by the Government. For instance, in the Vaucluse the official candidate received 13,200 votes, and two Liberal competitors 10,400 and 4,800 respectively. As one of the Liberals retired in favour of the other, it was concluded that the official candidate would be rejected. But he proved successful, though his single com petitor was a moderate and respectable Liberal, M. TAXILE DELORD. Many other calcula tions of this kind have been falsified by the event. The total result is, that whereas the Opposition thought to lose no more than half-a-dozen of the fifty-nine double contests, the Imperialists have secured no fewer than twenty-four, leaving thirty four to the Liberals, and one yet unknown. This issue proves clearly that the fear of revolu tion has brought about a certain reaction in favour of the Empire. It is true that the authorities have exerted themselves to the uttermost, have employed all fair means, and some that cannot be esteemed fair, to prevent an utter defeat in these fifty-nine circumscriptions. All over France, in the rural districts, might be seen notifications that, owing to the prayer of M. This, ~.. 13- u, me official can di (la fp, 44 , 0 EMPEROR had granted a sum of money, a road, a railway, or what not, to the inhabitants. In one case the Prefect proudly announced that a vast dung-pit, which had proved a dreadful nui sance, was to be removed, and that this great blessing had been procured only by the special prayer of the official can didate. It is gratifying to learn that this philanthropic gentleman is at the bottom of the poll. No doubt, however, these bribes did have much effect in many cases ; but the entire reaction is not to be attributed to these causes. The cries for revolution which have gone out from Paris, Lyons, Marseilles, and Nantes have evidently frightened the country voters, and this much congratulation the Government may take to itself. Still, it is but poor satisfac tion to find that, through fear of Socialism, and not through love to the Empire, a few seats have been lost to the Opposition. The triumph is but a comparative one. The evil is just a little less than it might, have been. The absolute and net result of the eleCtions is, beyond all doubt, a decisive triumph for the Liberals, and a clear vote of censure on the Imperial policy. The most dreaded enemies of the Empire are all in the new Corps L6gislatif. Nothing that the Government could do was sufficient to keep out M. THIERS. Though the leader of no party in parti cular, though occupying no definite position in politics, his eloquence and searching criticism are so dreaded that no man in France is more personally obnoxious to the EMPEROR and the EMPRESS. But Paris has chosen him by a triumphant majority, actually, for the purpose, denying itself the luxury of electing a Red. M. HENRI ROCHEFORT, the lampooner of the Lenterne, has been rejected, but this has been effected only by the return of a far more formidable man—M. JULES FAVRE. In another Paris circumscription the electors have rejected M. ItASPAIL, one of the Socialists. But this is to be attributed to the fact that M. RASPAIL was already elected for Lyons, whilst his opponent—M. GARNIER - PAGES—is an advanced Republican, and scarcely less dear to the Parisians than the Socialist himself. In short, not one enemy of Imperialism whom the Govern ment had any reason to dread has failed to find a seat. The Opposition will include almost all the genius and ability of the new Chamber. In respect of oratory, it will be, perhaps, the strongest party in Europe. Lastly, it is about three-and-a-half times more numerous than it was in the last Chamber. Then it mustered a miserable band of twenty-three ; now its strength cannot be under fourscore. Add to this the fact that even where the official candidates have triumphed, the struggle has been close beyond example—in several instances the Government nominee has got, in by only two or three hundred in a poll of 20,000 to 30,000—and the serious nature of this blow becomes apparent. The general election of 1869 has proved the greatest disaster of the EMIIEROR'S reign. DREADFUL BOILER EXPLOSION AT BINGLEY. very disastrous boiler 3 xplosion, supposed to have resulted in the death of not fewer than twenty adults and children, occurred yesterday morning at the works of Mersrs.Town and Son, bobbin turners, at Bingley, between Bradforl and Keighley. The dead and injured were removed to the Na tional School, and a number of surgeons from the surrounding district renderel prompt aid to those who were suffering. Some vere removed to their homes, and some to the Bradford Infirmary. The search for missing bodies was being prosecuted yesterday afternoon. The cause of the disaster is not known.

TIE E BISHOP'S AND THE BILL, The Birmingham Daily Post publishes in the corm of a special telegraph from London the infordation follow ng r—" There is good reasan to believe that the Archbishop if Canterbury has advised the bishops of his province ;4:3 abstain from voting for the rejection of the Irish Church Bill. There Is every probability that the Archbishop of York will follow the example, and give similar counsel to his suffragans. All the bishops may not follow their advice, Ind Lichfield, Peterborough, and Rochester are said to be recalcitrant; but the temperate and judicious attitude taken by the heads of the English Church cannot fail to exercise a oowerful influence among the peers. (RISE CHURCH BILL-DEJEUNER AT WILLIS'S ROOMS. On Wednesday a Meiiier was given in Willis's Rooms, to entertain the deputations from the Irish Church Con ference and the Presbyterian Church in Ireland which came over to memorialise the House of Lords on the Irish Church Bill. The attendance was select rather than large, and included a few ladies. The Duke of Rutland presided ; and the company included — the Archbishop of Armagh, Archbishop of Dublin,Duke of Abercorn, Marquis of Hamilton, Lord Redesdale, Earl of Bandon, Earl of Erne, Earl of Courtown, Earl of Enniskillen, Earl of Egmont, Earl of Huntingdon, Earl of Harrowby, Bishop of Tuam, Bishop of Derry, Bishop of Ripon, Viscount Templeton, Lord Castlemaine, Lord O'Neil, Lord Fitzwalter, Lord Colchester, Lord C. J. Hamilton, Lord H. Thynne, Lord J. Manners, Sir J. Pakington, M.P., Major Windsor Parker, M.P., Mr. Corry, M.P., Mr. Whitmore, M.P., Viscount Crichton, M.P., Mr. Vance, M.P., Mr. Arkwright, M.P., Mr. Lefton M.P., Mr. E. K. Hornby, M.P., Mr. Newde gate, M.P., Mr. Verner, M.P., Sir Walter Farquhar, the Hon. E. O'Neil, Captain Archdall, M.P., the Dean of Ripon, Sir W. C. Weldon, Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, Mr. R. Dimsdale, M.P., Mr. Charley, M.P., Colonel the Hon. H. B. Bernard, and Dr. Cumming. Grace before dejeaner was said by the Lord Bishop of Tuam, and after by the Lord Bishop of Derry. The toast of the Queen and that of the Royal Family were drunk amidst prolonged cheering. The Duke of RumatrD then gave the toast of "The Church and State." It was, be said, an old fashioned toast, but was one that ought never to be omitted. It was a toast that meant national feeling and national will to maintain our national Constitu tion. He meant that the State should do nothing that had not the sanction of the Church, and that the Church should receive the help of the State. The Irish Church Bill would destroy the Church in Ireland, and were that done, he believed that the maintenance of the Church in England in its integrity would be impossible. The majority of the House of Lords, he was convinced, believed the bill to be a wrong one. Against the opinion that because the House of Com monshad passed the bill the House of Lords had no right to refuse to sanction it, he desired earnestly to protest. It was the duty of the House of Lords to refuse that sane• Eon, and they would be sustained by large majorities of the people both in this country and in Ireland. (Loud cheers.) The bill, he would remark, would take from the House of Lords four Irish bishops whowere amongst its most useful members, and surely the Peers had a right to raise their voice against so unconstitutional a deprivation. Telegrams and let ters bad been received from Manchester, Wakefield, and Liverpool, stating that large meetings had been, and would be, held to protest against Mr. Gladstone's bill. The toast, he was sure, would be received with united cheers by Eng lishmen and Irishmen as the only security for the supremacy of the Queen and the maintenance of our civil and religious liberty. The toast was drunk with great enthusiasm. In replying, his Grace the Lord Archbishop of ARMAGH said that if the bill were passed, there would still exist in Ireland a union between Church and State, but it would he the union of the Church with a foreign Power. The Lords, he was sure, would quit themselves like men. (Loud cheers.) In Ireland they were convinced that just as the Protestant Church in Ireland receded the Roman Catholic Church would advance. After a speech from the Bishop of Derry, several toasts were proposed and responded to, chief among which were "The House of Lords," proposed by Sir John Pakington •Ind responded to by the Duke of Abercorn ; " The Irish Branch of the United Church, and the deputies of the Irish Church Conference," proposed by the chairman, and responded to by the Earl of Carrick, the Arch• deacon of Ardfert, and Mr. R. Hamilton ; and "The Irish Presbyterian Church, and its deputation from Ireland," proposed by the Earl of Harrowby, and responded to by Mr. Macrorie. Mr. Newdegate, M.P., then pro posed the health of the noble chairman, who returned thanks, and the proceedings terminated. MI?. RIGBY WASON AND A POLICE MAGISTRATE. -4- M r ;. LLu Out.

Mr. Wason read a printed docu ment, setting forth minutely all the circumstances in con nection with his charge against the Lord Chief Baron and what had been done in reference to it, the reading of which occupied nearly an hour and a half. Rule refused. THE ELECTORAL DISTURBANCES AT PARIS. The correspondent of the Standard gives the following account of the serious riots in Paris during the late elections :—" At about half-past eight on Mon day a perfect cloud of policemen, I should say 400 to 500, took up a position along the north side of the Boulevard Mont martre, occupying in great force the corner of the Rue Grange Batelier and the corner of the Rue du Faubourg Montmartre, close to the restaurant formerly known as Vachette's, but now as Brebant's. As a matter of course, a crowd collected to look at the sergents-de.ville, wonder ing what was going to turn up, and another crowd collected to look at the first crowd. The cafés on the Boulevard were instantly filled, and some of them had as many as four rows of tables in front of the shops, all of which were occupied by al fresco consumers. Circulation was difficult, no doubt ; but the large, immovable masses of policemen blocking up the way did not improve it. The weather was most oppressive, not a breath of air stirring, and the atmosphere filled with a kind of minute dust perceptible to the eye. In short, the weather was stormy, and Frenchmen, whether they be lookers on or policemen, are remarkably subject to electric influences. At half-past eight the police pro ceeded in a body to the office of the Rappel to effect its seizure, and arrested a man who persisted in selling it in defiance of the veto. He made a terrible row, , soaped, bolted into a café, whither the police pursued, and finally captured him, dragging him away to the station-house, whilst he shouted 'A Passassm ! A large crowd followed, hooting the police. Meanwhile the crowd increased in numbers, and frequent cries were heard of Viva Rochefort ! ' and ' Des Lanternes ! This went on for some time, when all at once a band of about four or five hundred men, said to be students, debouched from the Rue Vivienne, singing the Marseillaise,' and shouting Vire Rochefort ! ' and I am also told, but did not hear it, 'A bas Jules Favre I' The police then made a charge all along the northern pathway of the boulevard, and the crowd in rushing along overturned the tables outside the cafés, and in many instances the customers too. Several persons came to grief, lam told, during this first charge, and I saw one woman carried off in a state of unconsciousness. A little after the cries of Vive Rochefort !' and the' Marseillaise ' were again attempted, followed by another charge of the police, and that wild sort of indistinct clamour which marks the French crowd in its angry mood. All the cafés on the north side were then entered by policemen, cleared of their customers, and shut up. This, of course, partly increased the numbers outside, and the persons thus disturbed were in no cheerful mood. All of a sudden—how it hap pened I don't know—but the crowd and the police were suddenly transferred to the south side ; there was a wild shout, another charge, and a regular stampede." FACTS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.—The following answers were sent up in a recent examination in a certain public school :—" 1. Give an account of Raleigh.—He was passing throw the forest When Walter Terral seeing a dear pass by he puled his boe, and the arer stuck a tree and glance off and hit Walter Raleigh throw the head and Walter Terral seeing him dead at wonce fell. And a few years afterwards a man was passing by and found the boddy and at once called some people and they took the boddy and buryed him in Winchester Kerfideral." "2. The Policy of Queen Elizabeth.—Queen Elizabeth was very fond of wriding and she did not live long but raind very short time." "3. The Causes that led to Dissatisfaction with Charles the First.—Because they did not like him and he ran aboute when his head was cut off." "4. The Prin cipal Battles of the Civil War.—There was the crimmear and the war of the read roses and the war of the wite roses." "5. Life of Charles the First.—Charles the I was a very good king. He came to the frome 1866 and raind 13 years and he was hated by every one and no one loved him and he was executed and he ran aboute when his head wm.cut off."-_--itugby Meteor. TRADE REPORTS, More reports of trade and commerce in different parts of the world have been received from our consuls abroad. The commerce of the Netherlands has been somewhat depressed from various causes, while the Protectionists of the United States may take a lesson from the manufacturers of Germany. The high duties in America on cottons and woollens have interfered with their trade, and conse quently they are opening up markets in Asia, and en• deavouring to facilitate intercourse with the Levant. The Chamber of Commerce at Leipzig had decided in favour of changing the metallic base in Germany from silver to gold. The great feature of Norway trade is of course the cod fishery, and some idea of its importance may be obtained from the fact that during the brief fishing season at the Loffoden Islands between 20,000,000 and 30,000,000 fish are caught, which are cured for the foreign market. The roes are salted and shipped to France as ground bait for sardines, between 30,000 and 40,000 barrels being annually shipped for this purpose. British shipmasters will read with interest the report of Mr. Consul Vines, of St. Michael's, Portugal, in reference to the imperfect con- struction of the breakwater at Ponta Delgada. Accidents and disasters are frequent, and Mr. Vines declares that he can form no estimate of the annual losses inflicted upon British capital, commerce, and ship ping by this means. The accounts from the southern ports of the United States are very interesting. Georgia, the scene of Sherman's famous march, has in some respects rallied more quickly than her neighbours from the desolation caused by the war. Her people have shewn great energy and perseverance in restoring the means of communication with the adjacent States, and have reaped their reward in the increased trade of her coasts. Savannah, the only shipping port of Georgia, now ranks second in importance to New Orleans alone. But though her export trade is so good, there is little direct trade with Europe, most of the European goods coming by way of New York. The want of labour is the great difficulty of the State, and the Consul has little hope in the improvement of the negro. Eventually, he be believes, the abolition of slavery will be of signal advantage of the State. The Consul at New Orleans believes few planters in the South would wish to return to slave labour, and he is more sanguine of the future efficiency of the negro. MISTAKES WITH MEDICINE. On Tuesday the inquiry into the cause of the deathof a youth named Edward Norton was resumed at Wigan. The deceased went to the Eye and Ear Institution at Liverpoolfor advice, and received two powders and some pills. After taking one of the powders he was seized with convulsions, and he died before a medical man arrived. There were no instructions with the medicine. From the evidence of a " clinical clerk," who dispensed the prescription, and the physician who made it, it ap peared that the powder was intended for a wash, and not to be taken inwardly. The clinical clerk was not cer tain whether the prescription ordered " P," which means poppy heads, or "B," which means belladonna, but he gave belladonna, which is is a deadly poison, and the ieath of the patient was the consequence. The physician rave the clinical clerk a good character for carefulness in the discharge of his duty, but said he wrote " P,"and not "B," in his prescription. Everything will in future be done to prevent mistakes, and the coroner suggested that it would be better to write such prescriptions in full. The clinical clerk said it was an accident that directions were not issued with the powders. An inquest has has just closed at Dublin on the body of Mr. F. Gratton Guinness, who died from accidental poisoning. It appeared from the evidence of a gentle. man who was in the same office that he sent two medicine bottles to be refilled, and said to the witness that one of the bottles was green instead of brown, as at first. The witness advised him not to take It, but he drank some, and about half an hour after was taken ill and died in a short time. The medical evidence shewed that the deceased suf fered from disease of the heart, and, in the ab sence of any direct evidence to the contrary, it was suggested that he might have died from its effects. Messrs. Hamilton, Oldham, and Co., the firm in whose establishment the prescription was made up, however, stated that cyanide of potassium was substituted by mis take for carbonate of ammonia. The error arose from the replenishing of the bottle kept in one of their shops 73T the porter. The jury gave a verdict of Accidental Poisoning, considering that sufficient circumspection had not been used by the firm, which they severely censured. THE USK MURDER. The investigation into the confession of murder mane by a man named Thomas Rosser at Hereford on Saturday ast has resulted in the elicitation of several important Facts tending to confirm the truth of the prisoner's state ment. Th. Thvioas Rosser, who is a puddler 'rom Sydney, in the Forest of Dean, states that being on ramp towards the iron works of South "Wales, he was on he Saturday following Whitsun Monday (the 15th of June) 1867, in the town of Usk, in the county of Monmouth, where he accidentally met a girl, who afterwards told him that her name was Jane Edwards. He went with her to he Bridge Inn, where they had some beer together, and n the course of conversation she asked him if he was foing to Monmouth, and if he intended to ride or walk. Ele replied that he should go to Monmouth on the morrow being Sunday), but that he had no money to pay his rail vay fare. His companion then raid that if he was going .o stay in Usk all night he might as well stay with her. Ile prospect of getting her money then suggested the idea rf murdering the girl, and leaving her in the house. He went to the back door, which looks on to the river. At the •ear of the house was an old iron fire-grate, which had been urned out of one of the rooms, and from this Irate he wrenched an iron 'bar, which he concealed ruder his coat, and re-entered the house and induced he girl to go for a walk with him by the side of the river. When they got below the bridge he took the ron bar from his breast, and struck her on the back of the lead, instantaneously rendering her senseless. He then searched her pockets, from which he took 155. in silver, 'tad then determined to throw her body in the river. Be. 'ore doing so he took her bonnet from her head, and ;earing a ribbon from it he placed it in his pocket. Elm ing thrown the body into the river he left Usk, and !or two years he had been tramping, with the cruel murder he had committed haunting him day and night, luta, at length, he felt impelled to confess his crime. A lumber of circumstances, corroborative of the above statement, have been brought to light, and in a box )elonging to the prisoner the ribbon described by him has )een found. As it is supposed that the skull of the un !ortunate young woman will still shew the fracture inflicted by the iron bar, an order has been issued by the :oroner for its exhumation and examination. STRANGE OUTRAGE IN A CHURCH. -- In the cathedral of St. Julien, at Le Mans, in France, the. e is a ;omb with a group in terracotta of eight persons, life size, representing St. Peter supporting the Saviour, who B lying in his grave clothes ; St. John consoling the Virgin, Joseph of Arimathea at the feet of Christ, Uary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James and John. A. few evenings ago a wooden shoemaker entered the lurch, and with a hammer knocked off all the heads of ;he group. He is supposed to have been either drunk or mad. INTERESTING DISCOVERY.—A remarkable dis mvery has just been made in the old church of St. Gervais, Paris. Some persons who were repairing the woodwork it one of the sides in the left of the nave discovered a secret door, giving access to a small chapel hitherto not known, the walls of which are entirely covered with excellent paint ings in the Renaissance style, in good preservation. The church is extremely rich in artistic relics, possessing, among other things, a fine Albert Durer and a remarkable Perugino, besides some stained glass of Jean Cousin, the father of the French school of the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. THROWING VITRIOL ON A GIRL.—A sad affair has just happened in a worsted mill at Wakefield. A eirl, named Hannah Chadwick, who resides at Eastmoor, and a lad, named George Nottingham, who lives at Bragg end-lane, are both employed at Messrs. Fallon and Shaw's worsted mill, in Back-lane. During dinner-hour a quarrel arose between them, and the girl threw a quantity of water upon the lad. Soon afterwards they recom menced work, but in a short time the engine was stopped for a strap to be put on. During this interval of leisure the lad appears to have been determined to have his revenge on the girl. He went into the dyehouse, and, seizing a quart jug almost filled with vitriol, he went to the girl and threw it over her. She was dreadfully burnt about the breast and neck, and now lies in a dangerous state. The lad was taken into custody. THE NEW METROPOLITAN OF CANADA.—The Rev. Ashton Oxenden has accepted the cffize c f Bishop of Montreal and Metropolitan of Canada, to which he was elected last month by the clergy and laity of the diocese. The Guardian observes on the election :—" The choice of the electors has fallen on a man of moderate principles, of high character, and of good repute for the service he has rendered to the Church by his devotional works. Sec. tional influences have not prevailed ; local partisanship has suffered a defeat. Moreover, the representatives of each view feel that their sentiments have had free expres sion, and that the final choice, whether agreeable to them selves or not, is at all events the deliberate voice of the duly elected representatives of the Church. It would be difficult, as it seems to us, for those who maintain the superiority of our English system, to prove that the whole process of choosing a bishop here is more free from objectionable elements, or more satisfactory in its result.' i L..7-(.lt :!,,,---it#:7?i,4:11.-..
