Upon the former examination of the prisoners it was proved that the boy Duncan was junior cleok to Mr. Conty, n ccrk manufacturer, in Jewry-street, and that he availed bim self of the absence of his master from the counting-house to abstract various cheques from his cheque-book. These were afterwards filled up by some person or other for different amounts, to the sum of £2lO, and the signature of Mr. Conty was so well counterfeited that no suspicion was entertained, and the whole of the cheques were paid. The moment the forgeries were discovered Duncan ab sconded, 'end it was ascertained that he had become linked with the other prisoners, and from correspondence that passed between them it was inferred that they had incited him to commit the forgeries upon the bank Duncan had bought watches and other things and given them to the so ldi ers, and ho had advanced about £BO out of the money o bt a i ned by means of the forged cheques to buy two of them out of the regiment.—Duncan was COM plated for trial, and the others were remanded. ITIJS. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1865. LAW INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. SHERIFFS' COURT, (Boforo Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) BETTING ADVERTISEMENTS.-EXTRAORDLNARY CASE AND IMPORTANT DECISION. RICHARDSON AND ANOTIIIIR V. READ. This was an action to recover a sum of money for ad vertisements in the Court Circular, Mr. F. H. Lewis being counsel for the plaintiff, Mr. Montague Williams repre senting the defendant, who had pleaded a set-off for £24 for reports of sporting matters. Mr. Lewis said ho should prove that dofendent had given the order for the advertisements, which had been duly inserted in the Court Circular. His Honour—ls there anything in the set-off, Mr. Vv'il lisms ? Mr. Williams—Certainly; but when the proper time comes I shall be prepared to meet the plaintiff's case upon a point of law. His Honour—What is it ? Mr. Williams—l wish to call your Honour's attention to the character of the defendant's advertisement, and then I refer you to the Act of Parliament. It is quite clear that the advertisement was one relating to betting. I beg to bring it under your notice. The newspaper was handed up to the court, and the ad vertisement ran as follows :—" Mr. John Read, of London (Member of Tattersall's), the most experienced and largest backer of horses, executes commissions on all the principal races throughout the year, but does not issue price lists, as from the repeated fluctuations in the market it only en genders discontent and confusion." Mr. Williams—Now, your Honour will just look at the Act of Parliament, the 16th and 17th Victoria, cap. 119, sec. 7, and you will find the following words:— " Any person exhibiting or publishing, or causing to be exhibited or published, any placard, handbill, card, writing, sign, or advertisement, whereby it shall be made to appear that any house, office, room, or place is opened, kept, or used for the purpose of making bets or wagers in manner aforesaid, or for the purpose of exhibiting lists for betting, or with intent to induce any person to resort to such house, room, or place for the purpose of making bets or wagers in manner aforesaid, &c., shall be liable to con viction, &c." Now, defendant's advertisement clearly came within the provisions of the act, and, as such, was illegal. There could be no doubt that defendant kept a betting-office, and advertised it in the columns of the Court Circular contrary to the law. Mr. Lewis called his Honour's attention to the wording of defendant's advertisement, and did not think it came within the provisions of the act. His Honour—l have seen it, and lam of opinion that it is. It is quite clear that this is a betting advertisement. Mr. Williams—And the words of the act are quite plain. Mr. Lewis—The act may be plain, but I do not see how the advertisement is touched by it. His Honour—Suppose that the advertisement had run as follows :—‘ Mr. Read is not a member of Tattersall's, is not the most experienced and largest backer of horses, and does not execute commissions on all the principal races," would that have been within the provisions of the 7th section of the act ? Mr. Lewis—l should say not. His Honour I should say it did, as it would be clear that the intention was to evade the act. Looking, how ever, at the defendant's advertisement as it stands, it is to me quite clear that it is a betting advertisement, and I think that the proprietor of the Court Circular ought to be indicted for inserting it. I know that the fluctuations of the market not only lead to confusion and discontent, but also to the appearance of many young men at the bar of the Old Bailey. Mr. Lewis—That is between Mr. Richardson and the public. - His Honour —lt may be so, but plaintiff cannot recover this money. Mr. Lewis—Can we appeal ? His Honour—No ; the amount is under £2O, and I have no doubt upon tho point. You will be nonsuited. Plaintiff nonsuited, with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SKELETON' KEY ROBBERY.—James Watson, address and occupation refused, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a counterpane and other articles, the property of Mr. John Whitcombe, 4, Bateman's-buildings, Soho. Police-constable Francis Moss, 63 0, said that between 5 and 6 yesterday evening he saw the prisoner and another man in Bateman's- buildings, apparently trying the diffe rent doors with keys. He stood in a doorway a short time, and then walked down the buildings, when the other man went away and the prisoner came out of a house with a bundle. He stopped the prisoner, and asked him if he lived in the house, and ho said he did. He then told the prisoner that ho was not quite satisfied with his statement, and he would take him back to the house to see whether he had told the truth. On the way back the prisoner dropped the bundle and made off and tried to escape, but he secured him and took him to tho station. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the enti stable had acted very well in ;he matter. The constable said that on the way to the station the prisoner becamo very violent, and tried to throw him. Mrs.Whitcoinbe identified a counterpane and;two sheets produced as the property of her husband, and said they were taken off a bed in a room on the second floor. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness stated that she was not aware the house had been entered till she was in formed by the police. She thought the prisoner might have entered the house at the same time that some children entered. The constoble saw no children near the place, and it is the belief of the police that the houso was entered by means of a skeleton key. Inspector Harrison asked for a remand, as there was some reason to believe the prisoner was known. The prisoner said the articles were given to him by a man standing at tho door, who told him to wait till he came back. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. he waited for her, and when she came home, at 3 o'clock, he gave her into custody. Nothing relating to the charge was found, and prisoner did not say one word ono way or the other with reference to the charge. A witness was called, who said that on the way to the station a man told him he had got the right party, and that tho property was fenced ; also, that the prisoner and her husband meant to leave the house by stealth that night. A constable was called, but did not further carry the case. Mr. Arnold said there was not the slightest possible tittle of evidence against the woman, and ordered her to be immediately discharged.

Dr. Man ning, Archbishop of Westminster, laid the corner stone of a new Catholic institute and school in course of erection near St. John's Cathedral, Sal ford. The erection of this building has been con templated for years, and it is upon the urgent re commendation of one of her Majesty's school inspec tors that active efforts have been made to meet the want of additional school accommodation, and an institution for the instruction of young men in science and religion. The teachers of St. John's school were among the first young men to point out the necessity and desirableness of erecting the In stitute. The clergy of St. John's, to whom the question was submitted, gave to it considerate at tention, and eventually decided to second the efforts of the school teachers. The receipts of subscrip tions warranted the commencement of the work. In the Gothic style, the structure will be of the best brick, with stone facings. It will have a play ground for children on the first floor ; an infants' schoolroom, reading and class rooms will occupy the second story ; and a lecture hall, 86ft. long by 40ft. wide, will occupy the whole of the third floor. Ornamental tiles will cover a pointed roof. The whole building is estimated to cost about £2,000. Mr. J. Finnigan, Queen's Park, Manchester, is the builder, and he, with the Rev. Canon Benoit, has drawn the designs. The ceremony on Saturday was witnessed by a number of ladies and gentlemen, who occupied seats in front of the platform which was erected near the corner of the building on the second floor. The band of the 56th Lancashire Rifle Volunteers was present. On the arrival of the Archbishop, with Bishop Turner, of Salford, the Mayor of Salford (W. Turner, Esq.), and clergy, Mr. J. Stores Smith, chairman of the committee with whom ori ginated the scheme for the erection of the Institute, explained the object of it. The germ of the under taking, he said, was necessity. Some time ago the schoolrooms connected with the cathedral were found to be inadequate to the increasing number of scholars, and extended accommodation could not be provided in consequence of a lack of funds. A few months ago one of her Majesty's inspectors of schools suggested the provision of increased school room, and as the suggestion was accompanied by an intimation that if more accommodation were not obtained, sooner or later he would have to recom mend the withdrawal of a considerable Govern ment grant, the suggestiop partook somewhat of the character of a command. The clergy thought of building an infants' schoolroom only, until they were seen by several young men, members of the congregation, some of them Sunday school teachers, and all of them desirous to spend their evenings in rational, social, and intellectual re creation, and to spread education among the Catho lies of Salford. These young men had long fel certain objections to the secular instruction deny able from existing mechanics' institutions, and they suggested to the clergy that a Catholic institution, with the proposed infants' school, might occupy one building, the erection of which would cost two- thirds, or only one-half, of two separate structures. This recommendation was adopted. The large hall occupying the third story of the building would be devoted to public meetings, concerts, social gather ings, and to any purpose that was not anti-Catholic in its nature or subversive of social order. The hall would exceed the size of the large room at the Town Hall. The twofold character of the institute, science and religion, would afford to Catholic young men an increased knowledge of science, without weaken ing their attachment to the faith of the Catholic Church. (Applause.) To those who had con tributed towards the cost of the institute and school building, he was bound, on behalf of the Committee, to tender many thanks. It was a very great thing to give money, but, after all, it was far greater to give personal service. To the Archbishop of West minster the Catholics of Salford were indebted for his personal attendance on that occasion. Archbishop MANNING received from Mr. Smith a trowel, and with it prepared for the reception of the corner stone. The ceremony concluded, he delivered an address. lle said for the invitation, and, he might say also, the permission, to lay the corner stone of a Catholic Institute in Salford, he thanked he gentlemen who composed the committee. The act he had just performed was one in which all his sympathies concurred. The objects for which the structure was to be built—the education of children and the sanctification of the intellect of adult per sons—commanded not only his sympathy, but his most heartfelt interest. A few words of the address by the chairman of the committee had supplied him (Dr. Manning) with a stronger motive for being present on that occasion. Mr. Smith had said it was an easy thing to make an offer of money, but a much more valuable thing to offer personal service. That principle, being of great value, would apply to Mr. Smith, to the committee of which he was chairman, and to that body of young men in accordance with whose petition the en largement of the institution had been undertaken. (Cheers.) These young men, 30 in number, devoted their time on Sundays to the instruction of scholars, an humble work, which men engaged in worldly affairs might perhaps count to be a very heavy and uninteresting occupation, .but a work which he be lieved to be one of the noblest occupations in which a man could spend his time. (Hear.) He believed that if the young Catholics of Salford, Manchester, and London would spend the spare hours of their Sundays in seeking out poor children, and in in structing them when they were gathered together, they would be exercising the faculties and the affec tions which God had given them upon the highest objects they could find. (Cheers.) He hoped the ex ample would tend to increase their number of 30 to 3,000 in Salford and Manchester. But in saying that his sympathies were with an institution of that char acter he meant this—we lived in a century when there was an inverted process of instruction in which the young taught the old—(a laugh)—in defiance of the traditions of consanguinity, those who were entering into life conceived themselves to be the instructors of their elders ; in the nine teenth century, the chief virtue of children was to bring up their parents in the way they should go. (Laughter.) This inverted process of instruction was verified in the most superlative form—the in tellectual 19th century was teaching the Catholic Church how to think. (Applause.) This inverted order of consanguinity and instruction - could not be exemplified in a more superlative form than that. He believed that truth to be in these three short propositions—That reason rightly cultivated leads to faith ; that reason, illuminated by faith, is deve loped, elevated, and perfected in its highest degree, and can only so be made perfect ; and that reason, whensoever it leads away from faith, is enfeebled. Without giving lengthened proof of these proposi tions, he would say, in confirmation of what he had affirmed, that the greatest intellects the heathen world ever knew, the one in speculation and the other in practice, were Plato and Aristotle ; and he would call any scholar to answer hun whether in the whole history of the human intellect, before the illu mination of faith, there could be found any two who approached more nearly to a pure knowledge of the Divine nature. (Applause.) Of the second proposi tion, he affirmed that the scholastic philosophy an d scholastic theology which were eminently and in tensely Catholic were denouncedin this age, because they were identical with Romanism ; and he asked whether there was to be found an exhibition of the human intellect more enlarged, subtle, and mature than was seen in the scholastic philosophy and theo logy of the Catholic Church ? (Applause.) As to the third proposition, he would affirm this—We had entered into that age when reason and faith were no longer united, but parting asunder. In speaking of reason, he meant reason under its modern cultivation. But was it not a violation of our reason, with the external world about us and the dictates of reason and conscience within, not to believe in the existence of God ? Would any man say that his reason was elevated and perfected by his becoming an atheist ? Was his reason not in its normal state by believing in his Maker, in whose image he had been created, in the likeness of whom, and in virtue of which likeness, he possessed that very rea son ? (Applause.) God had made us in His own likeness, bestowed upon us intelligence and will, made us capable of loving him, and made our hap piness dependent upon the knowledge and love of Himself. Then, was it not a violation of moral rea son, of the conscience, of the greatest gifts of God to the human soul, to believe that God should not have given us the means whereby to know this— that He should have created us with a capacity of knowing him, and have placed us in a state where we could not know him ? This privation of the means of knowing God would be a privation of the end for which he made us. What were the means of knowing God ? his own revelation. There fore it was a violation of moral reason to believe that God had not made Ilimself known to man sufficiently for his perfection and happiness. In the third place, if there was a revelation of God in the world, he would ask where, in the whole history of mankind, was to be found a pure doctrine respecting the being and perfections of God, except in the Christian religion? Was there to be found a pure doctrine or delineation of the nature of a man, except in the incarnation ? Was there to be found a pure morality anywhere, except in the Gospels? Therefore he was bound to affirm, as dictated by reason acting upon the evidence which human his tory afforded him, that if there was a revelation of God in the world that revelation was Christianity ; that, if Christianity was a revelation of God, that Christianity was Catholicism ; and that every other form of the Christian religion, was fragmentary. (Applause.) Ile did not say this controversially, though as had been said with great prudence and moderation by Mr. Smith, who bad preceded him, their adhering to a Catholic form of science and literature was not controversy, but the simple dic tate of their reason and faith. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Smith had also said that the mind of a man who was educated in science or literature, apart from his faith, was so far fragmentarily and not perfectly developed ; and it was absolutely true for this rea son—Almighty God in the revelation of His truth, by the laws of nature or by the laws of revelation, properly so-called, had built a whole system of truth which was perfect, uniform, and symmetrical from its foundation to its completion. But the laws of nature passed into the laws of revelation ; the foundation which God laid in the intellect of man in ancient days was the basis upon which the truths of this revelation were placed afterwards. We could not take human science, human history, or human philosophy apart from the revelation of God in his truth. (Hear, hear.) It was one structure, . one perfect tower, rising a pyramid from its foundation to its apex ; and, therefore, it was in the name of reason that the Catholics refused to be made frag mentary either in science or in literature, and that they believed all must be studied in the light of the revelation of God, and in union with him. There fore, he said, that these four great truths, which he might call the four corners of that pyramid—the existence of God, the revelation of God, the revela tion of Christianity, and the identity of Christianity with Catholicism—were the dictates of reason. He believed the more reason was cultivated, the more would those truths prevail. He had no fear in the world of the cultivation of reason. He was not one of those who believed that religion was promoted by darkness. (Hear, hear.) The Germans had divided the Catholics of the present day •into the friends of darkness and the friends of twilight. The friends of twilight were those who believed and did not believe —a certain mixture of rationalism and faith ; the friends of midnight were those who believed in the whole revelation of God and the whole light of the Day of Pentecost. He (Dr. Manning) professed himself to be a friend of midnight in the profoundest sense of that definition; and he believed the more reason was cultivated, the more certainly would a man believe in the revelation of God. Why ? Al mighty God was not a bad logician. We were bad logicians, intolerably bad reasoners, in the 19th cen tury. This was shown perpetually by the newspapers that touched upon the Catholic Church and Catholic preachers. The writers also of this century were all intolerably bad logicians, but there was one who was not a bad logician. He was the eternal truth. He (Dr. Manning) was perfectly convinced that if any man in the cultivation of his reason fell from the path of faith, it was because he had fallen from the true line of the cultivation of z eason itself. On;this ground alone he (Dr. Manning) felt that to the young Ca tholics of Salford and Manchester should be given the means of studying science and literature, which would enable them to comprehend more largely and adequately the truths of revelation, and thereby the truths of their faith. Everybody who became more illuminated and penetrated with the light of his faith would become more capable intellectually to comprehend both science and literature. And he must say that, in all the sys tem of instruction, from the lowest elemen tary infants' school to the highest form of intellec tual cultivation, he saw great reason why the Catho lics of England should not beg or borrow from any existing institution any participation in the crumbs or fragments of science or literature possessed by others, broken to them, and cast as it were from the table ; and he saw great reason why the Catholics should form for themselves from a foundation, sym metrically, solidly, and without compromise, a sys- tem of true Catholic education for the infant of the poor and the son of the highest and the richest in the land. (Applause.) This principle was at the root of the work which had been commenced that day--an infants' school in Salford. He hoped it was but the prelude of the day when the corner stone would be laid of a Catholic University of England. (Continued applause.)_ On the motion of Mr. D. LEE, seconded by Mr. G. RICHARDSON, thanks were passed with acclama don't° the Archbishop ; and this concluded the pro ceedings. On Sunday morning Archbishop Manning preached at the Cathedral in behalf of the funds of Mount St. Bernard's Reformatory. IMPUDENT SWINDLE.—The police authorities at Burton-on-Trent have recently come in poss ession of the particulars of a most impudent and clever swindle, which was perpetrated at the late cattle and cheese fair at Burton-on-Trent. The unfortunate dupe was a farmer residing at Fisherwick-grove, of the name of Woolley. It appears that Woolley, who had brought two horses to the Barton fair, and disposed of one of them for £25, was met in the fair about half-past one o'clock by two respectably attired persons, one apparently the master and the other a servant or judge. They saluted him, and the elder sharper asked the fanner how much ho wanted for the mare his servant had in the fair. Woolley, who gave them to understand that he knew nothing of them, asked whore they came from, and they replied Rugeley. Upon this ho told them that he had a brother residing at Old Wood Farm, Rugeley, and with whom the sharpers declared themselves to be on most in timate and friendly terms. They then adjourned to the Talbot Inn and bargained for the mare. The elder swindler and pretended purchaser handed to the farmer a document a u y l d 42 r return u r fi fer herto the on e t ff h e e c T t t h h u a r t s d i a f y t ho followingm s u ; i t t e u d t h i f e n l o v t o h u e l d w p o her on the said Thursday, with £1 as expenses. The docu ment was signed " Thomas Robinson," with which the farmer expressed his approval. After some further conver sation the farmer left his fresh acquaintances at the inn, and went to cash a cheque for £25 which he receiv e d as p a y men t for the horse h e h a d sold in the morning. Soon after wards he returned to the inn, and again joined the sharpers having drawn at th e b an k three £5-notes and twelve s sove reigns.r An accomplice put in an appearance in the room e about this time, an d, i n a very politmanner begged to be excused if he was intruding upon private company. He was frankly asked to join them, and did so. Knowing that Woolley had been to the bank, he asked him if he had got his money all right., as he had had some money left him, and on going to the bank to draw it had some trouble in getting it correct. Woolley then counted his money, and found it to be right, whereupon the accomplice very kindly presented tho farmer and his companions with a purse each, stating that persons could not be too careful with their money now-a-days. His kindness was gratefully ac cepted, and each one proceeded to put his money into the purse which had been so very kindly given to him. One of the sharpers then artfully passed his own bag, and "lung changes" with the farmer, which was not perceived by him. Some two hours passed away after this in conver sation, and the sharpers finally accompanied their foolish dupe to the railway station, and bid him adieu as he left by the 5.20 p.m. train for Lichfield. On the following morning the farmer looked into his purse, and lo ! t 5 his great surprise and grief, ho found a piece of the Gardener's Chronicle, of October last, and twelve flash sovereigns, instead of three five-pound notes and twelve good gold coins. He reported the circumstance to Mr. Superintehdent Keith and Sergeant Kelly, having by hi s own folly and stupidity lost his mare, £25, the value of the other horse, and £2 which he had in his pocket pre viously. A description of two of the swindlers and the mare has been issued ; and a reward of £5 will be giv en to any person who shall give such information to any police authority in Staffordshire as shall l ea d to the recovery of the mare and apprehension of the offenders.— Western Press. THAMES. GREASE AND BUTTER.—John Nilewold, a Dutchman, aged 41, of No. 4, Elphick-terrace, Devon's-road, Bromley, a commission agent, was brought before Mr. Paget on a warrant, charged with obtaining money by false pretences. Mr. Robert Harris, a grocer and cheesemonger, of No. 52, Sussex-street, Poplar, said that on the 29th of September last the prisoner and another man came into his shop with a tub of butter, which they offered to sell. The prisoner, who carried the keg, said the butter was first class. He tried it with a taster about six inches down. The butter was very nice on the top, and he agreed to purchase it for £1 17s. 3d. He was indebted to the other man, Mr. Cooper, 3s. 9d., and he paid the prisoner £2 ls. He afterwards found the keg of butter with the exception of six or seven inches at the top to be nothing but cart grease. Mr. Paget asked the witness if ho was brought up to the trade of a cheesemongor and buttorman. Mr. Harris said ho was not, he was by trade a shipwright. Mr. shouldhavetes s eltwedtl.he butter hro ugh ou the Yu F wa Paget—You bulk, o and tasted it as The prisoner, in broken English, said that the butter was adulterated in Holland, and that when the fraud was discovered, "Mr. Harris makos up von row about the grease and the butter, which he offered to change for Mynheor." The prosecutor said the stuff had been made up here; more than two-thirds of the cask was stinking grease—it was veneered butter, a little good butter at the top, and grease under it. A sample of the grease was produced. The odour was very offensive, and Mr. Paget wisely motioned with his hand to keep it away from the bench. The prosecutor was recalled, and said the prisoner agreed to take back the butter and grease and give him other butter, but, as ho had not kept his word, he obtained a warrant against him. Mr. Paget said the prosecutor treated the matter as a civil contract, nothing more, until he found he could not obtain payment for the rubbish, and then asked for a war rant. He could not treat this as a criminal offence. He discharged the prisoner. ____ CHARGE OF 31ANSLAtiGHTER. — Thomas Ford, jun., pipe - maker, White Horse-street, Stepney, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with killing a boy named Noah Wye, aged 13 years, in Ferry-road, Isle of Dogs, Poplar. George Pullen, a police sergeant, 10 K, stated that yes terday afternoon the prisoner came to him and said he had unfortunately run down a boy with his horse and cut in the Westferry-road, Millwall, and that he wished to sur render himself and have a proper inquiry made. He asked the prisoner how the affair happened, and he said he was driving his horse and cart along the Westferry-road at a moderate pace, and the boy came into the road, walking backwards with his hands extended like a man rowing a boat, and he fell under the cart-wheel on his back. H e believed the occurrence was purely accidental, and that the prisoner was driving carefully and at a moderate pace. Mr. Paget asked if information had bean forwarded to the coroner of the district ? Pullen said that had been done. Mr. Paget said ho would tako bail for the prisoner's appearance a week hence. Bail was immediately tendered for the prisoner, whose family are highly respectable. Tho bail was accepted and he was liberated. WESTMINSTER. UNSUPPORTED CHARGE OF FELONY.—Charlotte Breeze, a decently dressed woman, was charged with stealing £l5 in gold and silver, and a box, from Keppel-street, Chelsea. Joseph Butt, proprietor of the beer-house, 17, Keppel street, Chelsea, said that the prisoner and her husband lodged in his house for eight months. On Monday after noon his brewer came with some beer at two o'clock. At half-past one o'clock the money in question was safe in a box in his bedroom, and the door of the room was locked. At a little before two the prisoner left the house, and in half an hour prosecutor went up stairs to look for his brewer's book, and found the door broken open ; the box and all the money was gone. From in formation he received from his son, who saw prisoner leave the house with a large box under her arm, A.glicultural Prospects. This week opened with a fine bright day, sunny, with splendid white clouds, wind N.W., very un like the sth of November. This would be very serviceable in drying the land and making it fit for the reception of seed, as a continuance of such weather would soon enable farmers to make a good finish at last with their wheat sowing, while all those who like to go into moist ground will this season have their wishes gratified. Monday was a fair day, but not so bright as the previous one, as at times it was dull and threatening ; slight rain falling in the evening, but with the night fine ; wind N.W., thermometer 46 degrees, barometer 3010 inches. Fair progress was made with field work, particularly in the lighter soils. On Tuesday the morning was cold, but the day held up fair, but not fine, a slight drizzling rain coming occasionally in the afternoon, as at 5 p.m. more rain fell, and this was not so favourable for the continuance of out-door work; wind N.N.W., barometer 30.05, and falling. Our advices from Northumberland on that day stated;: —" The weather since our last report has been unsettled, wind N. to N.W." In Kent, it was re marked on the same day :—" The change in the weather, which has again become close, with a steady downfall of rain, has affected the condition of the samples brought out, checking the wheat sowing in this country particularly, and this is so far unfortu nate for the farmers. On Wednesday it was appa rent that a good deal of rain had fallen in the past night, but the day proved fine, and some progress was again made in field work. Wind was round to the N.N.E., drying the land serviceably. In Scot land the weather had turned frosty, more accep table still for drying the land. On Thursday morn ing the weather was fine, with slight rain at 1 p.m., and again at 5 p.m., but nothing to stop the pro gress of autumnal tillage ; wind remaining in a cold quarter ; thermometer, 46 deg. ; barometer down to 29.85 in. From Surrey on that day our advices state :—" Farmers are now sowing wheat broadcast on land too wet to carry the seed drill, and on light and .dry soils wheat sowingis nearly finished." From Warwickshire it was remarked—" The weather dur ing the week has been favourable for autumn sow ing and planting, which operations are now mostly completed." From the interior of Suffolk it was observed :—" The weather during the past week has been generally fine, with some frost at night. On mixed-soil land pretty good progress has been made with planting, and a beginning has been made on stiff heavy lands." From the same county, nearer the coast, it was remarked :—" Wheat sowing pro gresses very slowly in this district, and it will be unusually late ere it be completed." Friday was a fine bright day, and great progress was made in all directions with committing wheat to the ground ; and although many growers consider it late, others appears satisfied that they have had a good oppor tunity of getting on this week. One farmer from Essex writes :—" By to-morrow I shall have com pleted five-sevenths of my wheat sowing, and shall proceed to plough the remaining two-sevenths if the present weather permits, during next week." From Yorkshire, in the West Riding, it was stated : " Weather continues fine, and sowing will now soon be brought to a close with a week more such." From the East Riding accounts represent that the !mners have nearly come to a finish, and in a pretty good state, with their wheat sowing. This work completed, there will be more time for thrashing, and better supplies of wheat may be looked for. Farmers will be anxious to take advantage of the recent improvement in value, and millers will be careful in buying from this time forward up to Christmas, well knowing that that is the most try ing time to make up rents and other heavy out goings of the farm. For the present, then, a calm in the trade may be looked for as regards prices, but ultimately a return to activity may be expe rienced from the result of the past harvest, and the moderate imports of foreign grain anticipated.— rlc-lane Express.

The fact was at once reported to the governor, and on an exa mination of the ward being made, it was found that the men, who were the only occupants of this ward, had cut through the floor, and gained access to the messengers' room, where it appeared there wore two uniform-coats, which the convicts took with them. From the messengers' room they passed into the stewards' quarters, and after wards scaled a wall, dropped into the street, and got clear away. Throughout the whole of yesterday the neigh bourhood was scoured by the police and the officers of the prison, and placards offering a reward for the appre hension of the convicts was issued, but up to the time our pncel was despatched, only one of the men (Thomp son) had been apprehended. It appeared that about two o'clock in the afternoon the man was observed by a country policeman in the neighbourhood of Havant, about nine miles from Portsmouth, wearing the coat he had stolen, and with a handkerchief tied round his head. His singular appearance attracted the notice of the policeman, who challenged him, and the fellow at once pulled out a knife, and threatened to murder the constable if he at tempted to arrest him. A struggle at once took place, and at that moment a warder from the convict prison came up and assisted in the man's capture, but during the struggle the warder was wounded in the arm. The prisoner was, however, overpowered and brought back to Portsmouth, where he volunteered the statement that the other convict was, according to his belief, still in the town. A BOY BURNT TO DEATIL—Last evening Mr. w. Payne, City coroner, held an inquiry at St. Bar tholomew's Hospital touching the death by fire of Richard Gay, aged nine years. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was the son of humble parents residing at 4, Trafalgar-buildings, City-road, and on Wednesday morn ing his mother went out to work, leaving him directions to mind his two younger brothers, and to keep the fire in. An hour afterwards he ran into the street shrieking, with his night shirt in a blaze. Some young men tore off the burn aNsvhtaickhenwatos tightly s nn fastened, rs e ne; sannrd continued all t e b h u n t r t n h . e t ocioitlehlt the hospital, geon, and thence hospital, when he said that the fire having gone out he proceeded to relight it, and so set hirhself on fire. He was terribly burnt all over the body, but he only spoke of the thrashing his mother would give him for the destruction of his new shirt. He died on Fri day last from the severity of his injuries. The jury re turned a verdict of ".Accidental death by fire." The planters of Cuba have or y f e theabolition addresseda of memorial slave to the Court in Madrid, asking in the island, ate.—. Shocking Case of Poisoning by Strychnine. The Supreme Court of Otago has sentenced a man, named Jarvey, to death for poisoning his wife. Strychuire was the agent employed. The closing scene of the poor woman's life is thus de scribed in the deposition of the prisoner's daugh ter :—On the evening of the 26th September, by father's orders, I went up stairs to put my brothers to bed. While I was in the room I heard a jing ling sound beneath, as of glasses being stirred ; and I heard my mother say, • Oh, dear, its dread ful bitter ; it's burning my throat." My father said, " You will have to take it twice a week be fore it will have any effect." When I came down stairs my mother was sitting on a chair, with her arm resting on the corner of the table. As I entered she looked up and said, " I feel dreadful giddy. Bother you, dad, for giving me such stuff. If I had known it would leave me in this state I would not have taken it." She tried then to turn round, and she laughed rather wildly, and she said, " Oh, whatever is the matter with me? I feel so funny, and my limbs are all getting stiff. I never felt like this before." She then clenched or grasped nervously at the table and the arms of the chair, and she tried to raise herself up, but could not. My father said she would have to go up to bed. She refused to go, and then he took her forcibly in his arms and carried her along the passage and until they got up a few steps of the stairs. She struggled out of his arms, and tried to catch hold of the stairs on either side. She cried out, " For God's sake, let me go to the air ; I shall suffocate." I asked my father if I should open the door, but he said " No, no." Mother looked at my father very wild, and said, " Oh, da, you have cooked your Cathe rine this time !" I said to my father, " Surely, da, you have not made a mistake •in what you have given mother ?" He said, " Oh, no, nonsense ! How could I make a mistake ?" It's the brandy that's taken effect upon her." Then my father took her again, and carried her until they got to the top of the stairs. She cried out, " Let me go, mur derer ! I shall go into fits." He carried her along the passage into her bedroom, and laid her crosswise on the bed. She straightened herself and went into a fit, working her limbs very hard up and down all the while. My father then began to take off her clothes. I asked him if we should cut or tear them : but he said " No, no, they must come off straight." My mother opened her eyes then, and looking at my father said, " Oh, William Jarvey. You have done it this time. You have poisoned me for the big hat and cloak." [The witness burst into tears, and her evidence was thus interrupted for a minute or two.] My father was standing at the foot of the bed. He said, "Go to sleep, mother ;go to sleep;" She said " Yes, I will soon be in the long sleep, and then the woman with the big hat and cloak will come in my place." I tried to soothe my mother, and she said, " It's no use, Lizzie ; I am poisoned ; your father has poisoned me for another." Mother asked me to wet her lips ; but directly I touched them she seemed to tremble in agony. Father asked her to have a little brandy ; she said, " No, no ; no more brandy for me !" She kept screaming at intervals. " Oh, my God ! oh, my children ! Go for a doctor. Will nobody go for a doctor ?" I asked my father if he would go ; but he only answered she would be better presently—it was the brandy. My mother said, " Oh, William Jarvey, I could call God to curse you ; but no, you are my husband and the father of my children, and may God forgive you. Oh, yes, may God forgive you for your cruelty to me this night." When .1 spoke, mother said, "Where are you, Lizzie ?" I can hear you speak, my child, but I can't see you." Nearly the last words I heard her say were, "Good-bye, my faithful Lizzie; may God bless you, my child. Mind my Katie, and tell everybody your father has poisoned me, for the woman with the big hat and cloak." My mother ceased speaking, and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. Death soon followed.
