One of the most enthusiastic and crowded citi zens' meetings held in Manchester for some years was held yesterday, in compliance with a requisition presented to the Mayor, " to consider the most ap propriate mode of conveying to the authorities of the United States our deep sympathies with them on the occasion of the diabolical assassination of their late President, Mr. Lincoln, and also to express our respectful condolence with Mrs. Lincoln." The chair was taken by the Mayor (Mr. J. M. Bennett), and upon the platform and in the body of the room were members of all political parties and various re ligious denominations. The MAYOR said he could not hesitate, in com pliance with a requisition so numerously and respect ably signed, to call the meeting. Whatever might have been their feelings and sympathies with respect to the American struggle, he was sure they would be unanimous in passing resolutions of sympathy with the United States on the great loss they had sustained during the past few weeks. He hoped that gentlemen speaking to the resolutions to be brought for Ward would not enter into those debatable subjects which agitated the community at the pre sent time. This was a meeting of the citizens of Manchester, not of any particular party ; not of these who sympathised with the South, or held strong opinions of the conduct of the North. (Applause.) Mr. W. R. WOOD said they had assembled to ex press their grief and indignation at the crime recently perpetrated on the other side of the Atlantic—the greatest crime which had been committed since the assassination of Julius Ccesar. They wished to ex press their sympathy with the Americans, between whom and ourselves, notwithstanding occasional dif ficulties, there existed a great bond of a common ori gin and common language. We might draw from the scene which had just taken place the moral lesson of the great value, in all disputes between nations, parts of nations, or individuals, of moderation, con ciliation, and courtesy. This great crime was a strik ing instance of the evils of civil war. It was a rebound of the violent passions which that war in some small sections of the communityhad most unhappily excited which had led to this dreadful crime. No body would be prepared to think that if there had not been civil war the President would have been assas sinated. Let us hope, then, that the lesson to be de rived from this event might ac e lnintdhgast Christian a f o ll o d t i s he p r u isn t e aos s d we a r n eail d . difficulties should be, if possible, arranged i n th e e t s i p o i n ri , t w o i f th c oduu?rseyg,afrr( t i i en o d t s h h ip, refer ence to uroe either w it lT o h f is th h e e said without ipa th rt e ie s s lig in ht t e h s e t refer Ame rican struggle.

(Applause.) He did not, of course, mean to say that the leaders of the Southern party had any hand in the crime. But it was much to be feared that the Southern party in general er. might suffer from the exasperated feelings of the N or th. it would be most creditable to the 44...i_can people " That the citizens of Manchester now assembled desire to express their horror and detestation of the deplorable crime which has resulted in the violent death of the chief magistrate of the American Re public, Abraham Lincoln, and of the attempt to mur der Mr. Seward and some members of his family ; and they desire most earnestly and respectfully to convey to the authorities of the United States their deep sympathies with them on the sad loss they have sustained." Mr. Alderman CURTIS seconded the resolution, which, he said, required no eloquence to commend it. If there was one crime more than another which was alien and detestable to. English feeling it was that of assassination. He was glad to see that the Confederateprisoners and others repudiated and abhorred the act that had taken place. Men like those who had engaged in the great struggle could not for a moment be suspected of sanctioning such a horrible crime. (Hear, hear.) The Rey. D. E. FORD said there could hardly be more than one shade of opinion upon the general question—all hated the detestable act. The resolution was unanimously carried. Mr. OLIVER HEYW oownoved • - " That this meeting desires most respectfully to present to Mrs. Lincoln its sincere sympathy and condolence on the melancholy loss she has sustained in the death' of her husband." Tim last time the Mayor called a similar meeting was to enable the citizens of Manchester to express their deep sorrow and regret at the loss of a great and distinguished citizen of their own (Mr. Cobden) a distinguished man, who had peacefully and quietly passed to his rest, after a life spent in pro moting the blessings of peace. Our American neighbours were beginning to sympathise with us in our great sorrow when the occasion arose demand ing our sympathy in theirs ; and it seemed that the coincidence of the two events would draw us more closely to one another. (Applause.) Almost precisely at the period when our own distinguished man of peace had passed away, another had been removed by a cowardly and cruel crime from a scene in which during the midst of warfare, struggle, difficulty, and contest, he had performed his life's duty and work. (Applause.) A man of peace in many respects not less was he than the man who had been taken from our midst--(applause)—taken as Mr. Lincoln was in the critical, if not crowniug, moment of his life. In some lines written several years ago respecting the battle of the Alma the words occurred, " What will they say in England ?" and then after describ ing the struggle which took place, the gallantry dis played, and the lives lost, the lines concluded thus— " They will say in Christian England God's holy will be done.' " (Applause.) This terrible calamity had fallen so suddenly upon the Americans that they had no time to ask what would be said in England, and all the more beautiful would it be that before the question was asked there camb back to them what England had to say. (Applause.) And what we had to say in a few words was this :—To express our sincere sympathy with the great loss of the American people ; to say how tenderly and affectionately— for, as Mr. Disraeli said, the event appealed to our domestic feelings—we sympathised with Mrs. Lin coln ; and we had also to say that we hoped it would be God's will that out of this great calamity should come forth universal good, and speedy peace throughout the great empire of America ; that out of it might come a united people—(applause)—that out of it might come freedom to those who had hitherto been kept in bondage—(applause) —that out of it might *come - Wh - at we all so much desired— a cessation of bickerings and unkindliness between them and us, and a mutual understanding that our interests, hopes, and purposes were, and should be, the same. (Loud cheers.) Mr. W. M'CLuitE seconded the motion, which was unanimously carried. The Mayor of SALFORD (Mr. Wright Turner) moved that the Mayor of Manchester should be re quested to transmit the above resolutions to Mr. Adams, the American Minister. (Applause.) Mr. M. Ross, President of the Chamber of Com merce, seconded the resolution. He said he had never in the Manchester Town-hall heard the ex pression of stronger or more unanimous feeling, nor witnessed a greater demonstration of respectful sympathy than the present, when they were met to testify their real regret at the loss of an amiable man in the very fulness of his career. For a man, resting for an hour from the fatigues and anxieties of the day, to be thus stabbed and struck down from behind by a cowardly assassin in cold blood was ono of the most detestable of crimes. (Applause.) The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. Alderman HEYWOOD moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding. lie said that great ho nour was due to the Mayor for calling the meeting, so that the people of Manchester might thoroughly express their indignation at the dastardly act, their sympathy with the American nation, and their hopes that what had taken place would be the means of uniting more strongly than ever the peoples of Eng land and America. [Mr. J. BANNERIAN seconded the resolution. Mr. W. PICKSTONE said he happened to be present in the United States when the assassination of the President took place, having been on a six months' visit to the United States to study the people and the country, and he could not allow this, the first meeting he had attended since his arrival, to pass by without expressing his concurrence in the pro ceedings. America would be as deeply moved by this expression of opinion, so general throughout the country, as it had been moved by the death of the President itself. America wished to be friendly with England, and he (Mr. Pickstone) had said that if the two countries went to war he would turn Turk and deny his race. (Laughter.) But two days be fore his death Mr. Lincoln said to one of his Mi nisters, " Of all things I desire that Mr. Davis may escape the boundary of the United States of Ame rica. Ido not desire that my hands may be imbrued with blood." (Cheers. He wished to tell the meet ing that Mr. Johnson was not a drunkard. (Cheers and cry of " Question ! " at the back of the hall, speedily drowned in renewed applause.) All he wished to say was that England needed only to have the same confidence in Mr. Johnson now that it took the Americans four years to have in. Mr. Lincoln, and then England would be just to the United States, which 24 hours after the assassination of Mr. Lincoln believed in Mr. Johnson. (Applause.) The resolution was enthusiastically carried, the Mayor acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting closed. _ _ _ Meetings of the Manchester City Council, the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and the Sal ford Town Council have passed resolutions to a similar purport to the above. THE LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. At a special meeting of the members of the Liver pool Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday, it was resolved : " That in special mee ti ng as sembled, this Chambe r, hereby recordthe profound sorrow and in dignation with which they have heard of the assas sination of the Hon.

A Series of Papers relative to Quacks, which appeared in the " aledical Circular," with the signature of "Detector," has been republished in the form of a short pamphlet. The reader of " Punch" should read this pamphlet also. He has often read, in the pages of "Punch," of certain Quacks, frau dulent and noisome, who obtain money by false pretences, and more money by menaces and extortion, from green young men. For their names, which "Punch" would not advertise, he has referred his readers to the lower corner of the advertising columns of low newspapers, amongst which too many of Mr. " Punch's" contemporat les, especially in the country, may still be enumerated. But now he begs to pub lish the information that a nominal list of these ri,ircreants, with copies of their puffs and other particulars concerning them, needful too be known, will be found in thetpamphl t above referred to, which is entitled "Revelations of Quacks an i Quackery," ar.d is to be had at the " Medic al Circular" Office, 20, King William-street, Strand, W.C. .r The vile practices, the monstrous impudence, the cruel rapacity, and the enormous gins of the obscsne tribe of Quacks, the mischief they do, the ruin they work, even to the causation. of suicide, are fully set forth in " Revelations of Quacks and Qackery." And mark especially that, as aforesaid, the flamer of the Quacks are publishe 1. The pamphlet in question thus constitutes a regular Quack Di rectory. by con-ulting which every young man may know where he may go if he wtrhes to get plundered and destroyed. Buy, therefore, reader, by all means buy " Revelations of Quacks and Quackery." its contents will astonish and amuse you, whi e they invoke your indignation and disgust. Of coarse you do not want it on account of its warnings for your own sake, but you doubtless do for that of the many simple tons with whom you must be acquainted, if your acquaint ance is large.

"That a committee be appointed to prepare for presentation to Mr. Adams, the American Minister in this country, an address from the corporation of Blackburn, expressive of our views of the assassina tion of the late President Lincoln and the attempt upon the life of Mr. Seward, and of the deep sym pathy and feeling for Mrs. Lincoln and her family and the American people." Alderman CUNNINGHAM seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. A sub-committee was then appointed to draw up the address at once, and the Mayor was requested to present it personally to Mr. Adams,with a request that he forward it in due course. COVENTRY. In compliance with a numerously-signed requisi tion, the Mayor (Mr. R. H. Minster) convened a meeting of the citizens at St. Mary's Hall, Coventry, on Thursday, for the purpose of passing a resolution of sympathy with the American Government and people under the great national calamity which has just befallen them in the assassination of President Lincoln. There was a large attendance of the clergy and laity of the city. The Rev. T. SHEEPSHANKS, rector of St. John's, moved the following resolution : " That the citizens of Coventry, in public meeting assembled, do hereby wish to convey to the Ameri can people their grief and horror at the atrocious and cowardly assassination of President Lincoln, their single-minded, kind-hearted, and noble Presi dent; and their deepsympathy with the Government under the loss of one whose firm, mild, and conci liatory character had won the respect and admira tion of both friends and enemies." The resolution was seconded by. Mr. J. Pears, J.P., supported by the Rev. E. H. Deli, Dissenting minister, and carried unanimously. HUDDERSFIELD. At a general meeting of the Improvement Com missioners (the chief local representative bndy) held on Wednesday, the Chairman (Mr. J. Turner) an ticipated the ordinary business by suggesting that they should show their sympathy with the American people on this melancholy occasion. Although the commissioners had declined to take any official notice of the death of Mr. Cobden, from a belief that they best served the interests of the town by confining them solely to the duties they were especially appointed to fulfil, the Chairman's suggestion was at once acted upon. Mr. JOSHUA HOBSON moved : " That the Huddersfield Improvement Commis sioners, in monthly meeting assembled, feel that they cannot but give expression to their feelings of horror and indignation at the atrocious acts by which the United States of America have been sud denly deprived of their late President, and by which the lives of Mr. Secretary Seward and his two sons have been endangered ; and the Commissioners would also show their deep sympathy with the people of the United States and with the widow of the late President Lincoln in the irreparable loss which they have sustained by his death." Mr. COCKING seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. It was also resolved " That copies of the resolu tion be forwarded to Mr. Stephenson, the consular agent at Huddersfield, for transmission to President Johnson and Mr. Lincoln," which was seconded by Mr. DENTON and carried. HALIFAX. At one of the annual meetings of the Halifax Town Council, held on Wednesday evening, the MAvon, before proceeding with the business of which notice had been given, invited the Council to pass a resolution expressive of their sympathy with the American people at the present crisis, and indigna tion at the horrible assassination of President Lincoln. (Hear, hear.) He was sure that every right-minded man would agree with him that assas sination was a dark deed, unworthy of any man possessing a human heart, and only the last resort of rabid or discomfited politicians. He was strongly of opinion that every governing body in England would neglect its duty if it did not pass such a reso lution as that suggested, and he was convinced that if President Lincoln's life had been spared he would have succeeded in completely carrying out that po licy with which his name was identified. He then moved :--. "That we, the Mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Halifax, in council assembled, de sire to give expression to the feeling of horror and regret with which we have heard of the assassina tion of President Lincoln, and beg to convey to Mrs. Lincoln and the United States Government and people an expression of our sincere and profound sympathy and heartfelt condolence at the sad event." The resolution was seconded by Mr. Alderman RAMSDEN, and unanimously adopted. On Thursday night a large meeting of the inhabi tants was held in the Odd Fellows' Hall, presided over by the Mayor. Resolutions were unanimously adopted containing sentiments similar to those embodied in the resolution of the Town Council. NEW CASTLE-ON -TYNE. On Thursday evening a largely -attended public meeting of the inhabitants of Newcastle-on-Tyne, convened by the Mayor, was held in the Town-hall, with reference to the murder of President Lincoln. In the absence of the Mayor, through indisposition, the chair was occupied by the Sheriff, Mr. W. L. Harle. The speakers were the Rev. W. Walters, Mr. Councillor Mawson, Mr. Councillor Benson, Mr. Councillor J. Cowen, the Rev. S. C. Street, Mr. Councillor Harford, Mr. Ralph Currie, and Mr. G. Charlton. The following resolution was agreed to unanimously : That this meeting desires to give utterance to the feelings of grief and horror with which it has heard of the assassination of President Lincoln and the murderous attack upon Mr. Seward, and to con vey to Mrs. Lincoln, to President Johnson and his colleagues, and to the people of the United States, its profound sympathy and heartfelt condolence." Crowded meetings, convened by the Mayors, have beekheld in North Shields, Sunderland, Har tlepool, and Gateshead, at which similar resolutions were passed. • EDINBURGH. At a special meeting of the Chamber of Com merce of Edinburgh, held on Thursday evening, Mr. JAS. RICHARDSON moved : " That this Chamber have learnt with the deepest grief and indignation of the assassination of Presi dent Lincoln, and of the infamous attempt on the life of Secretary Seward ; and desire to record their admiration of the ability, integrity, and patriotism of the late President, and their warmest sympathy with the G9vernment and people of the United States under the severe affliction which has just be fallen them." Mr. HARRISON seconded the resolution, which was unanimously carried. At the same meeting it was resolved to record the regret of the Chamber at the death of Richard Cob den, and their sense of the great services he ha d rendered to his country. THE SIMULTANEOUS RIFLE MATCH.—The third stage of this contest between riflemen in all parts of Britaidwas finished last week, when the large number of 82 squads fired at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards, 10 shots at each range. The weather was tine, and the shooting was.better than has ever been known before, nearly all the best shots in the country having entered. Forty-six men made at least 90 marks, an average of " centres," or, in other words, a score which would be made if every shot fired at these long ranges were to hit an object six feet square. NORTH WILTS. The retirement of Mr. Walter Long has brought into the field two Conservative candidates for North Wilts—Sir George Jenkinson and Mr. R. P. Long, M.P. for Chippenham, son of the sitting member. Sir George Jenkinson, in his address expresses him self as willing to " support any measure for the ex tension of the franchise—not the lowering of it, but the extension of it in the direction of property and education"—the principles which, he says, was em bodied in Mr. Disraeli's Reform Bill. He would settle the church-rate question if it could be done without the spoliation of the Church. It is doubt ful whether the Conservative party is strong enough to return two members for the division. • Mr. R. P. Long on Thursday afternoon attended a meeting of Conservatives at the Town-hall, De vizes. He said he had. been brought up in a Church and State school, and he attributed the large amount of well-ordered liberty which prevails in the country to our sound constitutional form of government. He expressed himself as decidedly opposed to the continuance of the malt-tax, and also to the pro posed system of union rating.% If any -change were made, there ought to be a uniform system of rating throughout the country. LINCOLN. Mr. E. Heneage has issued an address as a Liberal candidate for Lincoln, in opposition to Mr. J. Bramley-Moore. Mr. Heneage avows himself a supporter of Lord Palmerston's Government, a just and liberal measure to settle the question of church rates, and an extension of the franchise. NORTH RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. There is likely to be a smart contest for this divi sion of the county of York at the ensuing general election. The present members, the Hon. W. E. Duncombe and Mr. W. Morritt, are Conservatives. Mr. Morritt was elected two years ago, on the death of Mr. S. Caley, when he beat his Liberal opponent, Mr. F. A. Milbank, by about 500 votes. Since then the Liberals, it is said, have greatly improved their relative position on the register, and they are san guine of being able to return Mr. Milbank, who has consented to become a candidate at the next general election. In addition to the improvement on the register of voters, it is believed that the change of some large ducal estates in the Riding which has taken place since the last contest will be of advan tage to the Liberal candidate. The Conservatives, it is but fair to observe, say that they have every reason to believe that they will be able to again elect Mr. Duncombe and Mr. Morritt. CHIPPENHAM. Mr. W. J. Lysley, the Liberal member for Chip penham, has issued an address to the electors, stating that he intends to seek re-election. Sir John Neeld will be brought forward by the Conservatives, but it is not yet known whether that party will bring for ward another candidate in place of Mr. R. P. Long. Capture of Salisbury and Mobile. Gen. Stoneman reports that at Salisbury he found about 3,000 troops, under the command of Major- Gen. Gardiner, and 14 pieces of artillery, under command of Col. (late Lieut.-Gen.) Pemberton, the whole formed behind Grant's Creek, about 10i miles from Salisbury. As soon as a proper disposi tion could be made Stoneman ordered a charge on the entire line, and the result was the capture of the whole 14 pieces of artillery, 1,364 prisoners, includ ing 55 officers. The remainder of the force was I chased through and several miles beyond the town, but scattered and escaped into the woods. He sends the following partial list of the public property cap tured north of Salisbury and destroyed—Four large cotton factories and 7,000 bales of cotton; four large magazines, containing 10,000 stand of small arms and accoutrements; 1,000,000 rounds of small arm ammunition, 1,600 rounds of fixed artillery ammunition and 7,0001 b. of powder, 35,000 bushels of corn, 50,000 bushels of .wheat, 160,0001 b. of cured bacon, 100,000 suits of grey uniforms and clothing, and 250,000 army blankets, 20,0001 b. of harness leather, 10,000 lb. of saltpetre, also a large amount of sugar, salt, rice, and other stores, and medical sup plies, valued by the rebel medical directors at $lOO,OOO in gold.- In addition to the arsenals at Salisbury the military was being fitted up, and was filled with machinery sent from Raleigh and Rich mond, all of which was destroyed. Gen. Stoneman adds—" The depots along the route traversed by our various parties have furnished us with abund ance. The number of horses and mules captured and taken along the road I have no means of esti mating. I can say, however, that we are much better mounted than when we left Knoxville. We have a surplus of led animals, and sufficient besides to haul off all our captives, mount a portion of the prisoners, and about a thousand contrabands, and this after crossing Stone Mountains once, and the Blue Ridge three times, and a march made by headquarters since the 20th of last month of 500 miles, and much more by portions of the , command. The rapidity of our movements in almost every instance caused our advanced guard to herald our approach, and make the surprise com plete." At Mobile the chief fighting was in the capture of the forts. The New York Times corre spondent writes :—" On Saturday, the Bth inst., all day great preparations were made to get every piece of ordnance in position, which was accom plised about five o'clock p.m. Twenty-two heavy Parrots were got within half a mile of Spanish Fort, and half as many mortars, while the 12th Indiana, 7th Massachusetts, and 21st New York batteries were advanced to within one-third of a mile of the enemy's works. At a given time, our entire artil lery, assisted by two of our gunboats, blazed away with great fury and alacrity, and at the same time our sappers and skirmishers advanced and killed every rebel artillerist who showed his head. For several hours the roar of artillery was one of the most awful I have ever heard, with the additional vociferations of 20,000 men. As night progressed there was no abatement of the thunder of our artil lery and the racket of our musketry, while the faint ' ness of the enemy's response grew more and more visible, until shortly after midnight, when the firing from Spanish Fort almost entirely ceased. In an hour after the fort surrendered , and at a q uarter to two on the morning of April 9 our troops were in possession of Spanish Fort and Fort Alexandria, and all they contained, including 20 odd pieces of ar tillery, a vast amount of ammunition, one general officer, and nearly 1,000 prisoners. The guns of both forts were immediately turned on Forts Tracy and Huger in the harbour, at the mouth of the Blakely and Apalachee Rivers, but failed to elicit a reply. It was subsequently ascertained both works were a b an doned by the enemy, after spiking eight heavy guns: Our monitors and gunboats now went to work, assisted by some prisoners, and in a short time succeeded in removing between 30 and 40 tor pedoes, and running up almost within shelling dis tance of Mobile. The gunboat Cherokee moved up at night close enough to throw several shells at the enemy's water batteries, but without getting a re turn fire. Shortly after the capture of Spanish Fort, intelligence of the capture and the fall of Richmond was read to the troops, in connexion with orders to attack Fort Blakely. Acclamations rent the air, and immediately almost the entire force moved on the enemy's works. The fire from the rebel bat- - ',7 - 'NgAl.r ) .'V'' ' - etl;--?, terieS was most terrible for a short *6k—but-j ai - * ',, ', •y i ? et t , x i: 4 - 1.47,,i to check the advance of our intrepiu-.4roops, whs..4i,V v under a murderous fire of grape and canksier c k ik x - s head, and torpedoes under foot, tore away the elaborately constructed abbatis and chevaux de ft-4w, swept over the ditches, and at the point of the bayonet carried the whole line of works. The suc cess of the assault was manifested by the vociferous shouts of the troops, and for many minutes their demonstrations of joy exhibited no signs of relaxa tion or discontinuance. Quiet at last prevailed, but was again disturbed when the announcement was made that the result of the assault was the cap ture of several batteries of artillery, large quantities of ammunition, Generals Gibson and Tiddell, and nearly 4,000 prisoners. Our loss in the whole affair is much less than 2,000 killed and wounded, and . none missing. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded will amount to about 1,500. A division of coloured troops under General Hawkins, on our extreme right, behaved handsomely, and, like their white comrades, exhibited unmistakabl e pl uc k an d intrepidity. The enemy's works were very strong, and during the assault our lines were enfiladed by 124-pounder shells from the rebel ironclads Nash ville and Huntsville. During the whole siege our troops exhibited the most remarkable valour and endurance. For two weeks the enemy's forts on shore and in the bay and four gunboats kept up an unceasing fire day and night." The Alleged Murder of a Young Woman by a Soldier. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. C. St. Clair Bedford held an investigation at the Westminster Hospital into the circum stances attending the death of Margaret Sheridan, aged 33 years, who was burnt to death, it was alleged, by the act of a private of the Grenadier Guards, named Thomas Har rington. Inspector Humphreys had the management of the case for the police authorities. The man Harrington was brought up before the court by an escort, under the orders of the military authorities. Catherine Sheridan, 31, Golden-lane, Barbican, said that the deceased was her daughter. Sho had been a servant, but she was latterly out of a situation, witness believed. George Graham, 186 B, said that he was called in to the deceased on Sunday morning and found her dreadfully burning. He tore all the elethet .. off her, and as she was r naked, and then out in the yard Tie pat her into the water-- closet while he went and got a sheet to put over her. Witness asked how it had occurred. She answered that the soldier had set her on fire, and that she rolledon to the bed to try and get the flames out, and that thereby she set fire to the bed. Witness then went into the parlour and saw the bed all burnt. He saw no candle. He met the soldier in the passage. Ho seemed to be sober. The deceased did not then seem to be the worse for drink. Witness heard Ser geant Mason, a quarter of an hour afterwards, ask the sol dier how it occurred. The soldier said, " I know nothing about it." The sergeant said, " You must kno w something about it, for you were in the room." To which the other replied, " I only that moment entered the room. She was on fire then, and I pulled her off the bed." He said he wont there to pass the night with her. The sergeant said, "Why did you not say at first that she was on fire when youwent in." The soldier then replied, " Well, I was there a little time before." That is a curious sort of yarn, said the ser geant, " and I shall take your name. George Humphreys, inspector of police, said that at eight o'clock on Sunday evening he went to the hospital and saw the deceased. She said that she believed she was dying. She was quite collected. Witness asked her to tell him the exact truth with regard to what had happened. She then said—" On Saturday night a girl called Staffordshire Liz let in a soldier and a civilian. Liz and the civilian went out, leaving me with the soldier. About twelve o'clock the soldier tried to get the upper hand of me. When he found I would not let him he set fire to the back of my dress with a match, and threw two lighted matches in my lap. Liz had taken the candle away. She came back and got into the bed with the soldier. I threw myself on the bed to put the fire out, and neither of them would assist me in putting it out. I then ran into the passage. I recollect nothing more. I was not sober, nor was Liz or the soldier. I think the soldier goes by the name of 'Jack Roberts, Grenadier Guards.' " Witness caused inquiries to be made, but there was nothing ascertained to strengthen her state ment. She made a similar deposition in presence of the soldier on the Monday, before the magistrate. John Coulson, 17, St. Ann-street, labourer, said that when he went into the room, after the alarm of fire, he saw a, candle, not alight, on the floor. There was a pipe on the table. It was daylight at . the time. The candle was in a, candlestick, and had "guttered" much; the tallow had melted down from the wick. The pipe was deceased's pipe, and she was in the habit of smoking. Thos. Minchington, 64, Orchard-street, a shopkeeper, said that he ran into the yard, where ho found deceased burnt and groaning. She said that the candle had set her on fire. She also explained to witness that she leant against the candle and caught fire, and that she rolled on the bed to put out the flames. The bed was fiercely burning in the parlour, and witness put the window shutters on it to keep down the flames. The candlestick was four feet away; but was quite hot. There were matches lying about. Inspector Humphreys said that the statement of the wit ness was quite new to him. The witness said that some of the police must have known of that statement. He had repeated to several persons what deceased had told him. Witness's son, also knowing the deceased, put the same question to her, and she said that 'the candle had set her on fire. In answer to the Coroner, Inspector Humphreys said that the soldier, Harrington, was under remand, and was out upon recognisances. Thomas Harrington was then cautioned in the usual manner, and having expressed a wish to be examined, he said that about a quarter-past one o'clock last Stul -1 day morning he went to 17, St. Ann-street, and having knocked he was admitted. There were three young women there, the deceased being one. He was in chink at the time, and he took off his tunic and boots. He laid on the bed and fell asleep. He did not know exactly when ho awoke, but it appeared to be night and the candle was alight. Deceased was sitting down. Witness went out to the closet, and there fell asleep. When he awoke it was daylight, and he heard screams. He went into the back parlour, and there saw the deceased in flames and reclining towards the bed. There was no candle alight then. He began pulling the " fire " off her. A policeman came. Witness got part of his clothes and his boots the fireman gave him when the fire was over. He gave his name to the police, and went straight to the barracks, where he was confined for being out without leave. He had nothing more to say.

On being boarded the next morning the first mate stated that on the 19th, at 9 45 p.m., hearing a groan in the cabin, ho went down and found the second mate on the floor, covered with blood, and the left side of his face broken by a hatchet stroke. On questioning him the wounded man said he was awakened from his sleep by the blow, and could not identify the assassin. _The first mate then ran to the captain's cabin and shouted to him that there was mutiny on board, but not being able to rouse him he pro , cured a light, and then discovered the captain dead, and with his throat and head cut in various parts with a hatchet.
