CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.) TIIE WOOD-GREEN MURDER. Frederick Henson, 30, was placed at the bar to take his trial for the wilful murder of William Douglas Boyd and Maria Death, at Wood-green on the 4th of October. Mr. Kenedy applied for the postponement of the trial till next session, on the ground that there had not been sufficient time to prepare the defence. Mr. Justice Keating said the facts of the case ap peared to be very clear and plain, but in so grave a charge he thought that every opportunity ought to be afforded for the defence. He therefore con sidered that he might accede to the application. THE HOUNSLOW MURDER. The trial of William Smith, stone sawyer, for the wilful murder of his wife, Sarah Ann Smith, will take place to-morrow. THROWING A MAN INTO BOILING WATER. John Lister was indicted for manslaughter._ _ It will be recollected that the prisoner had a quarrel with deceased at Hatcham, and throw him into a copper of boiling water. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but sentence was deferred. DESTRUCTION OF A RAILWAY STATION BY FIRE. DEWSBURY, Tuesday Night. At Heckmondwike to-night the railway goods station accidentally caught fire, and was com pletely gutted. The damage is estimated at £20,000. A. high wind prevailed at the time, and nothing could be saved. The east wall fell at 8 o'clock, and severely crushed John Wharton and John Alexander, firemen—the latter is not expected to live. The goods destroyed are cloth, carpets,wool, and grain. PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 15c. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 1 5 s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days sight was 1071 per cent. on the I 9th inst. At this rate there would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United States. We regret to have to announce that Mr. George Peabody is lying very dangerously ill at No. 80, Eaton square. Although Mr. Saxby may have been wrong i n expecting inundations in Great Britain on the 4th and sth inst., he was right with regard to the other side of the Atlantic, as the following report shows:—" On Monday night, Oct. 4, Sackville, New Brunswick, was visited by a tremendous gale and the highest tido ever known. Thou sands of tons of hay wero destroyed, and thousands of cattle and sheep were drowned. The dikes on the marshes aro all gone. The Eastern Extension Railroad track was torn up for eight or ton miles, and the telegraph line con necting with the Cable and Halifax obliterated. The tide rose to a great height, carrying away and destroying an immense amount of property. Wharves were ruined, barns and cattle swept away, bridges destroyed, &c." The new appointed Consul-General for Frank fort-on-the-Maine, the Hon. William Prentiss Webster, entered upon the performance of his official duties some time ago, after an exeguatur had been granted him by the Government of the North Gorman Union. Mr. Webster, of Lowell, Massachusetts, is the brother-in-law of General Benjamin Butler, whose law partner he was up to the time of his appointment as United States Consul- General.

TIIAMES. A NICE ASSISTANT. —ArthinCiook, aged 23 years, a labourer, of 12, Newby-place, Poplar, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing three bundles of cigars, the property of Mr. H. J. Marsh, the proprietor of the Green Dragon public-house, in High-street, Poplar. The prosecutor left his house in charge of the prisoner while he was out for a short time on business, and told him to help himself to as much bread and cheese and beer as he required. The prisoner helped himself to more thou he ought to have done, and when Mr. Marsh returned he was some what inebriated. The prosecutor on looking about him missed three bundles of cigars worth 10s., and at once ac cused the prisoner of taking them, at the same time re marking that he would not say anything about it if he would return them. The prisoner said ho had only one bundle of cigars, and took 50 from his pockets, which he gave up. A police -constable named Haines, No. 330 K, was called in, who went to the dwelling of tho prisoner and found nearly the whole of the remainder of the cigars, which he seized. The prisoher pleaded guilty. Mr. Marsh appealed to magistrate to be merciful to th• prisoner on account of his previous good character and his family. Mr. Paget told the prisoner he had committed a very serious offence in stealing 10s. worth of cigars while he was in charge of the prosecutor's house; but as Mr. Marsh had interoeded very strongly in his favour, he should sentence him to one month's imprisonment with hard labour only, which was a very inadequato punish ment the crime deserved. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MATRIMONIAL SQUABBLES.—Mrs. Sarah Ann Weaver, wife of Mr. Alfred Weaver, carver and gilder, of No. 116, Wardour-street, Soho, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant by Herring, one of the warrant officers, charged with assaulting her husband. The complainant, an elderly man, said that on Monday last, on going to his lodgings in Hollen-street, the pri soner, who was constantly in the habit of knocking him about, set to and struck him several times, and while at tea at a later hour in the day she again knocked him about and yesterday, while passing the Middlesex Hospital, she came up to him and again assaulted him, and he had to take advantage of a large crowd which collected to run away. He had had her imprisoned before for assaulting him. The defendant said her husband was in the habit of striking her, and she was in the habit of striking him. On Monday he knocked her down, and she frequently had black eyes. She would admit she was somewhat in fault, and was sorry for it. A lad in the complainant's employ proved seeing the defendant take up things to throw at the complainant, and a son of the complainant's said that on Monday last he saw the defendant knocking his father about with a pillow. In reply to the Magistrate, the last witness said that the defendant got drunk every day, and that his father took a glass sometimes but did not get drunk. The defendant said that the last witness was the cause of all the unhappiness which occurred between her and her husband, and he had threatened "that when she came out of quod ' he would get her six months." Mr. J. Tyrwhitt ordered the defendant to find bail for tix months.

G. C. EARDLEY, .BART. On Tuesday, at the Guildhall, Sir Eardley Gideon Cullen Eardley, Bart., was brought up on remand, before Aldermann Finnis, charged with obtaining various sums of money under false pretences. Mr. Beard, who prosecuted, now applied for a further remand on the ground that a material witness, the wife of one of the prosecutors, was unable to attend through illness. —Mr. Wea.therhead said he did not oppose the application, but suggestja that it was a case in which bail might be taken.—The clerk asked whether the prisoner had a fixed residence. There being no reply to this question bail was refused, and the prisoner was remanded for a week. THE CHARGE OF EMBEZZLING £24,000. On Tuesday William KLauchlin, a stockbroker, wns again placed before Alderman Sir R. Carden, at the Mansion louse, charged with embezzling securities to the anr,unt of £2.1,000, entrusted to him to invest cn behalf of the trustees of a gentkman named Douglas. The evilence offered was properly explanatory of certain prc- c a.ngs that took place en the Stock Exchange, but the pro ;it:ing alderman said it might tend to shcw the recklessness of certain transactL.ns, but it did not in the slightest drgree go towards invalidating the serious Charge against the prisoner of aprropriating those securi ties to his own use. Major-General Douglas, one of the trustees, gave the particulars of the shares entrusted to the prisoner to realise, which were the same as those spoken to by the witness on Tuesday last. The case was re manded. THE PROSECUTION OF THE REV. W. J. E. BENNETT, OF F.ROME. The Dean of the Court of Arches sat on Tuesday at West minster for the purpose of deciding on the admission of articles in the case of the prosecution of the Rev. W. J. E. Bennett, M.A., of Frome Selwood. Sir Robert Phillimore having taken his seat on the bench, and it having been stated that the rev. defendant did not appear by counsel, an order was given to the usher to call him into court if he was within the building. This was done three several times, but done, as everyone present knew it would be, without producing any effect, there being no intention on the part of Mr. Bennett to appear at this stage of the case. The first proceedings, it may be stated, taken in the matter of the suit were by the Bishop of London, who opened a commission, consisting of Sir Travers Twiss, Archdeacons Jackson and Hale, and Pre bendaries Bloomfield and Kempe, to inquire whether Mr. Bennett had published heretical doctrines in the London diocese. The commissioners reported it as their unani mous opinion that there were sufficient prima facie grounds for instituting further proceedings. Under the provisions of the Church Discipline Act (3 and 4 Vict., c. 86), pro ceedings were then taken, under the authority of the Bishop of Bath and Wells, in whose diocese Frome Selwood is situate, and his lordship, instead of hearing the case in his own court, sent the matter, by letters of request to the Court of Arches. The letters of request accused Mr. Bennett of having committed an offence against the laws ecclesiastical by having caused to be printed and published within the diocese of London certain works in which ho advisedly affirmed and maintained doctrines directly contrary and repugnant to the Articles of the Church of England, the said works being entitled respectively, " Some results of the Tractarian Movement of 1833," forming one of the essays in a volume entitled, " The Church and the World " (edited by the Rev. Orby Shipley), and "A Plea for Toleration in the Church of England," in a letter to the Rev. Dr. Pusey. The letters of request then set out the passages objected to which had reference to these doctrines :-1. The real objective Pre sence of our Blessed Lord in the Eucharist ; 2. The sacrifice offered by the priest ; and 3. The adoration die to the presence of our Blessed Lord therein. The letters of request further stated that the Bishop of Bath and Wells, acting under the provisions of the Church Discipline Act, had thought fit to send the case to the Preivincial Court of Appeal. Sir R. Phillimore, after hearing the case on the 30th April last, decided on refusing the letters of request, for the following reasons That the Court of Arches always had a discretion to accept or refuse, and that dis eretion was not restricted by the Church Discipline Act. 2nd. That the ,Court could exercise its discre tion in favour of a refusal in this case, because no grounds for acceptance were stated in the letters of request, and because they were ten dered "in a matter of alleged heresy connected with some of the most awful mysteries of our religion," a charge which Mr. R. Phillimore thought the Bishop ought to hear in his own court. On an appeal to the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, Sir R. Phillimcre's decision was over-ruled. This brought the matter before his lord ship again to-clay. Mr. Stephens, Q.O , was leading counsel fcr the promotion of the suit. Mr. Sheppard having suggested a few verbal alterations in the construction of the articles, alterations which were sanctioned by the Dean of Arches, proceeded to inquire what in a legal point of view was the office of the Commission issued by the Bishop under the Church Discipline Act; what was the office of the letters of request, of the citation, and of the articles, and then to examine whether the articles charged an offence of a different nature to that named in the letters of request and the citation. The technicality of the argument is divested of everything like popular interest. Dr. Tristram was heard on the same side. His lordship reserved judgment on the points raised. The keeper of the beacon light at Now York was lately placed in a very awkward position. The waves were sweeping with great force over the lighthouse, and he tried to go ashore, but found the tide was too high for the purpose. As the storm increased, the tower was car ried away, and the lower part of the lighthouse was filled with water. He closed the hatchway, that the water might not get down upon him, but the flames of the lamp, which had lost its cover, set the woodwork on fire, and in creased the perils of the scene. He managed to extinguish the fire, and to hold the swinging lantern. In the morning he went on shore, with his faith in wooden lighthouses completely shaken. Wolves have already been seen in the neighbour hood of Ardennes, and the sportsmen are anticipating the pleasures of the chase with great eagerness, as a very cold winter is expected. A strange animal was seen in that part of the country last year, which was larger, stronger, and bolder than the wolf, and was destroyed with great difficulty after killing seven or eight dogs. In the Pyrenees there are also, it is said, an unusual number of wolves. Some of the mountain stations are actually deserted through the fear of these creatures, and the wolves roam unmolested through the streets. The belated traveller in the passes is often startled by the gleaming eyes of the wolves, which watch for his first false step. EAST AFRICAN INDIA, RUBBER.—Dr. Kirk, poli tical agent at Zanzibar, has presented a specimen of East African India Rubber, with the tree from which it was gathered, to the Bombay Museum. Dr. Kirk formerly discovered this tree in the Portuguese possessions on the Zambesi, and has now found it existing in quantities on the African coast of Point Zanzibar. It is a woody climber, with long stems reaching over the bushes and scrambling among the branches of the larger trees. Tho milky juice is obtained frc m slicing off the rough outer bark, which must be done with a very sharp knife. The juice dries as quickly as collodion on the photographer's plate. It is very valuable when carefully collected, and may, in Dr. Kirk's opinion, be obtained to a great extent in this region. SUPPOSED SUICIDE AT PENGE.—A discovery bas been made at Penge which has caused a great deal of excitement in the neighbourhood. The wife of Mr. Fowler, of 30, Weighton-road, near the Anerley Station, was missed on Saturday afternoon, and on Monday morn ing her body was found lying outside her bedroom window ac a balcony which is formed by the roof of a bay that projects from the floors below. The body was first seen by a servant who happened to look out of an upper window in the next house. A phial, which is said to have contained strychnine, was found by the side of the corpse. The window of the bedroom communicating with the balcony was closed and fastened inside, and the blind was drawn. OPENING OF A NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. —Archbishop Manning opened a church on Tuesday at Southend, at which place there has hitherto been Roman Catholic service in a room in the house of the resident priest. There was a large attendance of clergy and laity, including several Protestant friends. A good many of the artillerymen stationed at Shoeburyness were also present. The new church, which presents a very striking appear ance, is situated in Cliff-town. It is a Gothic building in the early English style. The material is brick and stone mixed, and there is some excellent carving in the workman ship. It is eighty-five feet long by about thirty wide, and it is so arranged that the church can, if required, be en larged. The architect is Mr. Goodman, of Southend. The Archbishop preached tho s:•rmon from the text, "For I know whom 'I have believed" (2 Timothy, i. 12), and dwelt upon the subject of confidence in God. He expressed the pleasure which he felt at opening that beautiful church in a place whore hitherto there had been none, and he thanked those who, though not members of his Church,.had kindly and generously assisted the congre gation in the good work. The music was the Mass of Hummel in B, and was well executed by the 'choir of St. Aloysius Church, London, the members of which went down for the occasion. Mr. Barnett conducted. There was a ddjetlner afterwards, at which the Archbishop pre uided. In the aftoraggPt. gamitpaelWatftriiiiition SPORTING INTELLIGENOE. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

PARIS, Oct. 26, 12.30 a.m. A heavy rain has been falling during the whole of the morning, but has now ceased. Up to the present hour no visible measures of precaution have been taken, and there are no symptoms of a mani festation. Everything leads to the belief that the day will pass over peaceably. SPAIN. MADRID, OCt. 26. The sittings of the Committee of Management, appointed yesterday by the majority of the Cortes to settle the basis of a programme of conciliation, lasted ali night, but it was impossible to come to any understanding on the question. The solution of the crisis is postponed to further sittings. Conciliatory efforts continue to be made, although great difficulties are in the way. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 24 (Evening). The Crown Prince of Prussia, Prince Louis of Hesse, Count Eulenburg and suite, arrived in the Bosphorus this morning on board the Sultan's yacht, attended by Raouf Pacha, the Prussian corvette Hertha, and the gunboat Dolphin. The Grand Vizier and the Ottoman Minister at Berlin went on board to compliment the Prince. The Sultan and suite awaited the Princes at the entrance of the palace of Beglerbey, when a cordial greeting took place. Subsequently the Prince of Prussia returned the visit of the Sultan at the palace of Dolmabachtscke. The Duke of Aosta, in an Italian yacht, is now at the Dardanelles on his way up. The weather is splendid. LIST FOR THE USE OF _VISITORS TO THE METROPOLIS. MUSEUMS. Antiquarian—Somerset House.
