A few days since two men were sinking a well at Pradelles (Tarn), when they came upon a current of carbonic acid gas, and after some hours' attempts to burn it out, they thought they had succeeded when one of them descended, and the other, not hearing him, followed, and he also was overcome by the noxious gas. A littlo boy who was on the spot gave the alarm, and successively three other m en d escended, but wore raised almost insen sible, without being able to succour the first two. At last a fourth, named Joan Laprado, wont down, and sent up the two insensible men before he re-ascended. Unhappily one of them was dead. afar iesday.

Margaretta Stevenson. The splice took about two hours to make on board the Medway, and at 3 p.m. (ship's time) she had ar rived in the harbour, and anchored opposite the Telegraph-house. The shore end was now passed to the boats of the Terrible, under the immediate superintendence of Mr. Canning, chief engineer, Mr. Clifford, and Messrs. Temple and Loudons. Shortly after four o'clock it was landed amidst the enthusiastic cheers of those who were gathered about the beach, a royal salute being fired by the Terrible, Lily, and Great Eastern. Passed up from the shore in the trench leading to the Tele graph house, the end was speedily handed into the instrument room and the connexions made. The cable crew -were loud in their congratulations to their chief, Mr. Canning, and he and his able assistant, Mr. Clifford, had to submit to the process of being chaired around the large space adjoining the Telegraph-house, where the end was coiled. Mr. Field received a similar honour. The Governor, the Lord Bishop of Newfoundland, Mr. Gooch, Capt. Hamilton, Mr. Field, and Mr. Deane were in the operator's room, and the first message having been sent, and an answer received from Valentia, a loud cheer was given by those assembled there, his Ex cellency and the Bishop saying a few words appro priate to the occasion. An address of congratula tion from the Commercial Society of St. John's was presented to Capt. Anderson, Mr. Canning, Mr. Gooch, Mr. Field, and the principal executive officers engaged in the cable expedition, to which:a suitable reply was given, and a large party of ladies and gentlemen were entertained on board the ship. All night Mr. Laws, of Mr. Latimer Clark's electrical staff, was engaged in testing the cable, Mr. Latimer Clark himself being similarly occupied at the Irish end. 'Mr. Gooch sent the following message to Lord Stanley :—" Mr. Gooch has the* pleasure to inform Lord Stanley that the cable of 1865 was recovered from the bottom of the Atlantic on the second of this month, and has been safely landed to-day in Heart's Content, the recovered cable being in the most perfect condition. He also takes this opportunity of saying bow much all men engaged on the undertaking were gratified on re ceiving a newspaper to-day to see the kind reference made to their efforts in her Majesty's speech on the closing of Parliament." Sunday, September 9.- --Shortly after breakfast this morning, Mr. Gooch and Captain Hamilton went ashore to the Telegraph-hope, and the test messages required by the contract between the Anglo-American Telegraph Company and the Atlantic Telegraph Company were sent. This official act being completed, the line was formally handed over to the Anglo-American Telegraph Company. The " Blue Peter" was now sent up to the fore of the Great Eastern, and everything being in readiness, Mr. Halpin was again seen on the bow superintending the weighing of the anchor. But this time he was doomed to disappointment of a very peculiar kind. When the anchor stock came up to the surface of the water, it was found to be minus the anchor itself. So the big ship had lain quietly all night in the harbour, where it blew half a gale of wind, and upon looking at her position, she did not appear to have shifted a yard. The anchor was one of Trotman's. At 3 p.m. we were under weigh amidst the cheers of the Terrible and Medway re peated over and over again. Mr. Cyrus Yield, on leaving the ship for the latter vessel, in which he goes to lay the cable from Cape Ray to Cape North, was heartily cheered by the whole crew. There is every probability of the weather being fine. All on board are looking forward with happiness and plea sure to meet their friends in England, and feel proud in having been identified with an enterprise which will be ever memorable in the history of the world. te—(This Day), This morning Dr. Lankester resumed the inquiry at the Angel Inn, Highgate, into the circumstances relating to the death of Mr. Richard Golding, aged 80, whose death, it was alleged, took place under such circumstances that it has led to the exhumation of the body, in order that a post mortem examination might be made. Francis Julia Southgate was recalled--She said deceased told her that before he went to bed, on the evening pre vious to his death, that he should take two pills. She saw a box - containing four pills that evening, and the next morning on looking at the box it only contained two. She did not know what became of the box containing the two remaining pills. The pills came from Dr. Part's. There was also some medicine sent, but the deceased only took ono dose of it after. Cross-examined by Mr. Beard—Sho considered that the pills came from Mr. Part, as he was the medical man in attendance, and also because Mr. Golding told her Dr. Part had sent his medicines and his pills. She looked into the box by direction of the deceased. After the deceased took tho medicine he became drowsy, ;and he only took one dose of it. She did not tell Dr. Part or Mrs. Part of the effect of the medicine. She never told Mrs. Part that the deceased was better after taking the medicine. She told her that the deceased was better that day than he had been. She should not have left Mr. Golding had she not believed he was much better. An angry discussion here took place by Mr. Board and the witness, which ended in a number of letters being read from witness to Dr. Part, and the doctor replying thereto, in both of which the most serious charges were made one against the other. By a Juror—Dr. Part only know the deceased for about 48 hours before his death. The deceased had told her that he had seen Dr. Part but once before he attended him, and that was about 20 years ago, at the house of a friend. By a Juror—Previous to the death of the deceased ho never expressed a wish to be buried in his trowsers. He always wished to be buried in a Christian-like way. Mr. Beard—Then you didn't know that Prince Albert was buried in his trousers ? Witness—No, I did not. Mrs. Todd, the landlady of the house in which the de ceased died, recalled—She said he appeared much better the morning ho died. Ile tried to speak to her, but he could not do so. She gave deceased some cocoa, but he had great difficulty in swallowing it. He did not then appear to be drowsy. Professor Julian Edward Disbrowe Rodgers said--I have made an examination of the stoillach, spleen, liver, and other portions of the intestines of the deceased. I first made a search for alkaloids, and I found a mere trace of morphia. I have made a special search for strychnine, and anything that would produce convulsions, without discover- ing any trace. I have also made an examination for metallic poison ; and here I would say, as I am bound to speak the truth, that in the stomach I found a small quantity o arsenic. In the intestines 1 did not find a sufficient quan-f tity to say it was arsenic, and in the liver none. I need not say that the greatest care had been taken in preparing for the examination. I discovered the arsenic by Reinch's test. I made a special examination of the liver, and from finding arsenic absent 1 came to the conclusion that no quantity of it had been swallowed that could destroy life or shorten it for any length of time, for had that boon the case I must have found it in the liver. Coroner--You are quite sure you found arsouic in the stomach ? Witness—Yes, quite sure. Coroner—Did you look for other poisons? Witness—Yes, and found none. Coroner—dlave you formed an opinion as to the cause of death ? Witness —Yes. There is nothing inconsistent in a man scl afflicted as deceased was with bronchitis. Convulsions sometimes precede death from bronchitis. The throwing up of the arms would be an effect to get air. Coroner—Where do you think the arsenic came from ? Witness—My impression is that there must have been an error in making of the medicine. Coroner—Yon don't think it was natural arsenic that was introduced after death? Witness—No, or I should have discovered more of it. Coroner—Have you over found any natural arsenic in a body ? Witness—No, never. Coroner—Do you kaow of any case of death from arsenic without vomiting ? Witness—Yes; but then very large quantities had been .a►gen. Coroner—Do you think that the arsenic could have been introduced as adulteration of food or medicine ? Witness—No. Coroner—How much morphia did you discover ? Witness —A very small quantity—very much less than the arsenic. It was merely a trace. Coroner--There could have been no dose. Witness—Had there been deceased would have remained drowsy to the end of life. A Juror—Do you think the arsenic you discovered could have been contained in the cocoa the deceased took a short time before his death. Witness—No. Had it boon made in an enamelled sauce pan, that might possibly account for it. Mrs. Todd was here again recalled, and in answer to the coroner, said she did not boil the cocoa in a saucepan. She made it first into a paste in a teacup, and then poured boil ing water upon it. A Juror—Are thero not evaporative poisons ? Witness —Yes ; but from my examination I have seen nothing that could lead me to infer that poison of any kind had beon taken. Mr. Beard—You are quite sure the copper you used in your experiments was pure. Witness—Yes, quite. Dr. Part, at the termination of the evidence of Professor Rodgers, was examined, and said that his great endeavour was to alleviate the sufferings of Mr. Golding, who had been during his illness very much neglected. Ile denied ever using any persuasion to induce the deceased to make a will in his favour. The Coroner having summed up the evidence, the jury returned the following verdict : That on the 28th day of December, in the year 1865 Richard Goldin g was f ound dying, and did die, at 17,, Stebbington-street, in the parish of St. Pancras, from the mortal effects of bronchitis, and the said jurors further say that although a small quantity of arsenic and morphia were found in the stomach of the deceased, the said death arose from natural causes. The proceedings then closed. Bank of England — lteturns e —This Evening. An Account, pursuant to t] cap. 32, for the week ending 1 he Act 7th and Bth Victoria, Wednesday, Sept. 19, 1866. PARTMENT.

WRECK OF A FRENCH VESSEL—A fearful gale raged on the coast of Jersey on Sunday, being at its height in the afternoon. Between four and five o'clock a French vessel, the Mario et Berthe, of Croisic, laden with wheat, from St. Malo for Havre, was caught in the fury of the gale when off the Corbiero Rock. The captain, being un acquainted with the locality, attempted to pass between the Pignonnot Rock and Nein:tient Point, a dangerous passage, and ran the vessel on to the rocks. She soon came off, however, and sank in deep water. The crew took to their boat, and fortunately succeeded in effecting a safe landing at St. Aubites. THE ATL E of 1835. The following is the continuation and conclusion of the diary published in The Sun of September 10 : Monday, Sept. 3.—At 9.15 a.m. yesterday, the splice having been made between the picked up and that in our main tank, the critical operation of slipping from the bow to the paying-out machinery aft was completed. It was an anxious time. As the first bight was let go eyes were strained to see the next drop clear, and so rapidly was the cable passed along the starboard side that one was obliged to run at a fast pace to see it go to the stern, and on to the paying out wheel. At 9.22 the paddles were started ahead, and we commenced to pay out in 1,900 fathoms. By noon we had paid out 28.96 miles, and were in lat. 51.56.20 N., long. 36.42 W., having given for slack 25.91 per cent. On receiving the Greenwich time direct—through the recovered cable —as formerly, Staff-CommanderMoriarty found that the mean accumulated error (in 25 days) of the re ' maining four chronometers, by Mr. Barraud, of Cornhill, required a correction of six-tenths of a second only. All went on well during the day, several messages were sent from the ship to Eng land and Newfoundland, and we got the current news from home. We learned after dinner that Captain Commerell had arrived in the Terrible at St. John's, at noon, and we were also informed by Mr. Kerr, commanding the Lily, that he and the Margaretta Stevenson would meet us at the ren dezvous at the entrance of Trinity Bay. Orders were sent to the agents, Brooking and Co., of St. John's, to bring stores for the Great Eastern to Heart's Content, and Mr. Wyatt, of that house, replies that he will be there on Saturday morning ! And so, being in the, middle of the Atlantic ocean, we talked to Valentia, Valentia to Newfoundland, Newfoundland to Valentia, and Valentia, back to us, a distance of nearly 5,500 miles. Captain Anderson wants to know what sort of weather there is in Newfound land, and while sitting with Mr. Willoughby Smith, in the electrician's room, I saw the message sent to Heart's Content, via Valentia, and in less than 10 minutes the answer comes back, " Wind north, light breeze !" What will Lieutenant Maury say to all this ? For we hear that he has told the public that it is an impossibility to pick up the cable of 1865. What will Professor This and Dr. That and Philo sopher the Other say who have been shaking their wise heads for the last year ? Where are the ab struse calculations about the forces engaged in lift ing the cable? Where the theories about volcanic action in certain places well known to them at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean ? What about the cer tainty of the failure of gutta percha as an insulator ? Why, simply and practically this, th e Atl an ti c Tele graph cable of 1865 has been pi c k e d up a ft er a fortnight's hard work, and we aro sending and re ceiving messages through it. But now we have to try and finish the work by landing it at Heart's Con tent, and have to encounter all the difficulties inse parable from ocean cable laying. It was only this morning at 3 o'clock that we were reminded of our old enemy " Foulflake." A part in the coil brought away the next. turn with it, but before it could get up in the " eye" it was held back by the watch in the tank. The order was given to stop the engines; but it was all right before the paddles and screw ceased to revolve. It is a curious coincidence that this occurred almost at the precise spot where the cable was lost last year. It is blowing very strong from the E.N.E. with a heavy sea. Towards noon the glass was going up, and there is evidence that the wind is about to moderate. At noon to-day we were in lat. 51.34 N., long. 39.35 W., DR., having run up to the present time 117 miles from the splice, and paid out 134 miles of cable. Distance from Heart's Content 586 miles. Tuesday, Sept. 4.—ln the afternoon of yesterday the wind moderated. The ship has evidently been much affected by a strong current, carrying her to the N.E. The large percentage of slack can only be accounted for by the ship not having gone her course. Taking Capt. Auderson's observations we had paid out 32 per cent, of slack at 8 a.m. yesterday. The night passed very quietly, the wind having gone down completely. Our progress since noon yesterday to noon to-day, Capt. Moriarty having obtained sights, has been 109 miles. Course, N. 73 W., lat. 51. 2.26 N., long. 4F53 W.; 226 miles from splice, and 494.6 from Heart's Content. Depth, 2,424 fathoms. Friday, Sept. 7, Noon.—The progress of the ship and the paying out of the cable since Tuesday last have been in every way satisfactory. Last night a congratulatory telegram came to Mr. Cyrus Field from Mr. Low, president of the New York Chamber of Commerce, requesting him to send a message to be read at a meeting of that body held to-day. It was thought right to send a reply in the names of the directors on board who have accompanied the expe dition. It was in the following words : "The under signed directors on board the Great Eastern send their greetings to the New York Chamber of Com merce, and take advantage of the success which has crowned the efforts of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company to recover the cable temporarily lost last year, to convey to them through it and. the cable laid in Julylast the hope generally entertained throughout the United Kingdom that the telegraphic c ommunication now established be that country and the United States will tend to promotepeace and ha rmony between t h em. (Signed) —Danl. Gooch, ch a i rman of Great Ship Company, and of Anglo-Am er i can Company ; Aug. T. Munn ton, Cyrus W. Field, directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company and Anglo-American Tele graph Company." The Medway has just been despatched to look for the Terrible whom we expect in a few hours, as s h e l eft St. John ' s last night. The weather is very fi ne, and the sea quite smooth. We hope to be well u p th e bay by 12 o'clock to-morro w . Saturday, Sept. was not till 5 p.m. yester day that the signalman made out the smoke of the Terrible on the horizon, and on coming on deck after dinner we saw her plain enough, and close near her the Margaretta Stevenson. At 8 o'clock a boat was sent from the latter vessel with Mr. Kerr, R.N., who was to pilot us up the bay, and the Terrible sent a boat with our letters which had arrived by the last mail. By 10 p.m we saw the lights of Catalina and Bonavista, on the northern shore of the entrance to Trinity Bay, and Bacalieu on its southern side. It continued calm all night. This morning a glorious sunrise welcomed us into Trinity Bay, whose broad waters were as still and placid as a lake ; and as the morning light became more distinct the whole cable squadron was well together. Her Ma jesty's ship Terrible, her Majesty's ship Lily, with his Excellency the Governor of Newfoundland on board, the Medway, and the Ma rgaretta Stevenson, and the Hawk, formerly her Maj es t y ' s s hi p Pl over, from St. John's, with a large party on board, joined the rru fleet, pted i and we proceeded on until 6 o'clock unin. te At that hour the wh ee l s of the Grea . y. Eastern were suddeniy stopped, the alarm of a fault in the cable having been made from the electrician's room. While a message from Valentia was being received, the spot of light scale of the galvanometer, indicatin g 44 dead earth." disappe are d from the Instructions were speedily given,aPpeared and the cable was cut immediately forward of the paying -out ma chinery, and tested through a wire leading to the testing-room ; the result of which was a declaration on Mr. Smith's part that the fault was not far off. Ile next tested the sea end, and very much to his own gratification, as well as to the joy of every one on board ship, it was re ported to be perfect. Valentia, upon being called, gave an immediate reply. Communication was now stopped, in order to make a spli ce w i th another length of cable in the after-tank, a n d i n a b out half an hour it was completed, and the ship on her way up Trinity Bay, Heart's Content being distant 13 miles. The discovery of this fault was instantane ous, and showed the great practical utility of Mr. Willoughby Smith's new testing arrangement, which has already been described. We went on paying out until 2.20 Greenwich time, or 1045 ship's time, and shortly afterwards the Terrible's paddle-box boats, under the command of Lieu tenant Curtis, First Lieutenant, and Lieutenant Arundel], were under 'the stern of the Great Eastern. The cable was then cut and handed into his charge to pass to the Medway, on board of which was coiled the shore end. The big ship, hav ing now completed her work, steamed slowly into the harbour of Heart's Content, followed by the The Atlantic Telegraph Expedition. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Night. The Atlantic Telegraph expedition is a thing of the past. The good it has accomplished lives after it; but its existence as a separate entity is at an end, and its chief actors are already distributed over the country. Capt. Anderson brought the Great Eastern from Crookhaven "by the lead," and timed her arri val off Holyhead to a couple of minutes of her sight ing its light. She reached her mooring -ground be tween 9 and 10 this morning, and in less than an hour afterwards parted company with some of her chief guests. Departures have continued rapidly through the day, and at this time Mr. Gooch is in Berkshire, Professor Thomson in Scotland, Mr. Can ning and Mr. Willoughby Smith in London, and Mr. J. Deane and Capt. Hamilton on their way thither. Mr. Clifford remains at Liverpool until to-morrow, and Captain Anderson is expected on shore this evening. To-morrow the cable hands and a great portion of the crew are to be paid off, from £B,OOO to £9,000 being disbursed in theprocess ; after which the Great Eastern will be probably handed over to the painters and cleaners, while the several directors settle upon her future use. The Chamber of Com merce here had determined to invite the chiefs of the enterprise to a banquet, and a deputation was, it was said, to have waited on them to-day ; but a strong posse of custom-house officers, who rigidly examined all luggage about to leave the ship, was the only visitation made before the party broke up, and however full of. hospitable, good intentions Liverpool may have been, it is certain the Great Eastern has been allowed to glide quietly up the Mersey to her resting-place without the slightest demonstration in her favour. This morning at 5 a.m. a small party consisting of Mr. Barber, one of the principal proprietors of the greatship ; Mr. Yates, her secretary; Mr. Shuter, the Telegraph Construction secretary ; the bearer of a special despatch from Mr. Glass, and half a dozen other gentlemen left in the steam tug Victoria to meet the Great Eastern. By half-past seven they were on board exchanging congratulations and hear ing the news. So quietly was this done, that Mr. Canning and others were still in their cabins, and unaware that a tug was in sight, when the sounds of hearty congratulation told them of the arrival of their friends. Mr. Glass's letter was addressed to the practical scientific men on board, and the follow ing reply was sent : Groat Eastern, Liverpool, Sept. 19. Dear Sir,—ln acknowledging your kind congratulations we must ask you to share our gratification at the success we have accomplished. The electric communication between Europe and Ame rica, now happily secured, is the ripened fruit of years of costly experimentalising, during which your special know ledge, wide experience, and unflinching confidence, have largely contributed to the perfection of the work ; and the expeditions both of this year and last have been greatly indebted to your encouragement and care. We heartily reciprocate your good wishes, and fervently hope your health may be speedily restored, and that you may enjoy with us for many years the honours legitimately pertaining to this gratifying success.—We are, dear sir, yours faithfully, SAMUEL CANNING, WILLOUGHBY SMITH, JAMES ANDERSON, W1T.T.701 THOMSON. HENRY CLIFFORD, R. A. Glass, Esq. It will be seen from Mr. Deane's diary that a fault was discovered in the cable of 1865 when the ship was some dozen miles from Heart's Content at termination of the second laying. The rapid detec tion and remedy of this fault proved Mr. Willoughby Smith's invention to possess all the merits claimed for it while the character of the injury, and the shape of the bit of broken wire inflicting it, were precisely similar to those of last year. The outside of the cable had nothing to betray the existence of the fault. It was smooth to the touch and uniform to the eye ; even where the peccant piece of wire lurked, and the coil containing it has lain untouched in the Great Eastern tank ever since it was placed there last year. Repeated electrical tests have proved the cable to be absolutely perfect during this time ; and the broken wire only became an active instead of a passive instrument of evil within a few minutes of its discovery. The explanation of this apparent anomaly is, that the wire, which is sharp as a needle at one end,lad notpierced through the gutta percha coating to the copper conductor, and was so laid that its head did not penetrate the manilla-twist outer covering. So long as the thinnest stratum of gutta percha remains intact between the assailing iron and the all-important copper-wire, insulation is preserved ; but when by the footsteps of the cable-men, or in the shifting the cable, the gutta percha was pierced, an electrical "fault" was the instantaneous consequence. The result satisfac torily proved the exquisite sensitiveness of the electri cal instruments, and Mr. Canning retains the ble mished part of the cable, with the wire still sticking in it, for comparison with the " faults" cut out last year. Whether these injuries have been malicious, or whether the cable of 1865 was less carefully watched than its successor, and more prone to acci dents, is a point which it would be unprofitable to discuss. The staff themselves are divided in opinion, and this morning, a few minutes after I had,learnt from one eminent man on board that " the last fault set at rest the question of malice, and proved the in juries to have been accidental." I was told by an other, and even more eminent man, that the shape of the wire and its position proved beyond a doubt that the flaw made by it, as well, as those of last year, were the base handiwork of some cable assassin. Another point eagerly discussed on board is the piece of granite brought up by the grapnel from the Atlantic's bottom. It if quite clear that this was not broken by a larger mass by the irons, - but was lying loosely, and was so caught in the interstices of the claws. For it was not brought up by what we may call the grip of the grapnel, but was jammed between two of its claws, much as a grapestone oc casionally sticks in the teeth. It is, moreover, com paratively smooth and polished, as if by the action of the sea, and in no one part shows such a surface as might be looked for in a recently fractured rock. One authority pronounces it to be Labrador granite, and Mr. Clifford, who was in command during the watch in which it was brought to the surface, and who retains possession of the stone, proposes to sub mit it to the Geological Society for a trustworthy opinion as to its character. That such a stone should come from what is officially certified as a sand and ooze bottom suggests doubts as to the present method of sounding being well adapted to its purpose. Those interested in submarine telegraphy maintain that it should be literally more sweeping than at present, and be made to test a larger surface than is ever done now. There is no sort of doubt that the Great Eastern, when picking up the broken cable of last year, encountered rough and broken ground, where the chart had led her to expect sand and ooze, and this fact alone, now that cable-laying in ocean depths promises to become an every-day matter, seriously impairs the value of the Government soundings. One suggestion, jestingly made, is that the bit of granite is, after all, part of the spare bal last of some ship ; and that its appearance in the grapnel is no proof of similar stones being plentiful at the bottom. ft is interesting to know that a couple of hours after the splice of the picked-up cable was effected the weather became unfavourable, and that its recovery might have been indefinitely delayed had it not taken place when it did. The Great Eastern came back with some two thousand tons of coal on board, so that the search might have continued some time longer ; but all agree that both in weather, in the change from one part of the line :o another eighty miles from it, and in the fina] triumph, the soundest skill and judgment waited upon good fortune. One day during the search Mr. Canning was startled by Captain Moriarty quietly whispering, " I'm sorry to disappoint - you ; but what you're doing now's no use.'.' A strong current had set in, and the buoys placed to mark the cable for grappling had drifted 17 miles, and on observa tions being taken the Great Eastern was shown to be this distance from what she was vaguely seeking. The announcement of this mishap was of course fol lowed by an instant change of spot, and added one more illustration of the extreme delicacy of the work. When all was successfully accomplished, and the great ship was homeward bound, the prevalent light-hearteduess found vent in private theatricals, and a pointed burlesque by Mr. J. C. Deane and Mr. Poore was written, lithographed, and acted on board. " Coutentina " was the title of this produc tion, and the whole strength of the company was en listed to insure its success. The jokes and skits at the peculiarities of the leading people on board were plentiful and humorous, and the following extracts show the character of the songs : Air—" Let the toast pass." Here's to the Cable of dear fifty-eight, Hero's to the one sixty-five, sir, That we left in the sea in a critical state, For which we intend to go dive, sir. Chorus—Let the toast pass, Long life to our Glass, His cables are good, be they hemp, wire, or grass. The picking up itself was complimented thus : Air, 95. The grappling rope at length has come, Winding slowly round the drum ; And on its end as I'm alive, Hangs the rope of '65. For Anderson who guides the ship, Let's shout and cheor with a hip, hip, hip. Moriarty, too, who straight did dive, At the dear old rope of '65. Experience has done the trick, And solved the question double quick. What pleasure Canning must derive, From a sight of the rope of '65. The Bishop of Newfoundland joined the party at Newfoundland, and arrived here in the Great Eastern. SIR S. BAKER ON MR. EYRE.—Sit Samuel B aker, the well-known traveller, writes to the Times in de 'once of Mr. Eyre. He says :—" In times of great danger and excitement, not only in the instance of Jamaica, but on all occasions where brute force is resorted to, acts are committed that will not bear the calm scrutiny of those who judge the events far from the actual scene and in perfoot safety; but such events are seldom or never paraded before the public for the purpose of defaming a man who has conscientiously acted for the best under the most trying circumstances, and who is considered by those most capable of judging (the English in habitants of Jamaica) to have saved the colony. From my experience of negroes, I believe that Mr. Eyre did undoubtedly save the white inhabitants of Jamaica by a stern exercise of force that cowed those who would have excited the population, as Gordon, and which prevented the general organisation of the negroes throughout the island It was necessary to paralyse the outbreak at one blow. Legal or illegal, it was life or death. A severity that would have been ridiculous towards a white population was the only course to crush a rising of the blacks. This many people in England will not understand ; it is the popular belief that the negro differs from us only in the colour of the skin ; the tiger and the horse are not more widely different in their natures. I do not pretend to assume that the execution of Gordon was legal, neither do I attempt to justify certain acts com mitted in great excitement during the operation of martial law ; but I contend that during a struggle for life and death the acts of individuals should not be scrutinised with undue severity, still less should the Governor of the colony, who has established martial law aso.the law,' be held responsible for the verdicts of courts-martial, or for the individual acts of the military. The removal of Mr. Eyre is a hard example; let us hope it is simplyproA' 7 to uphold th e a c t ua l l e tt er o f t h e l aw, an d that his e prospect may be less dark than the governmdenctoonfuacb futuret thehtck population ; but it is hardly possible ntsoult is to the whole dismissal of Governor Eyro from an i of f ell h io e n a r, s every Majesty's act forcesecomplained m t p h l a a t i newered of was engagedn omdzitntegdtlutendreer bthe operation of military law.

I am not a subscriber to the Eyre Defence and Aid Fuud,' as I cannot believe that any class of Englishmen will commit themselves to an attack so degrading and contemptible as the criminal prosecution threatened against Mr. Eyre ; but should such a vindictive course cf persecution bo possible, I shall immediately, with doubtless many thousand others, add my name to the list of his supporters." In another part of his letter, Sir Samuel says :—" I believe the negro to have little in common with the white man beyond the simple instincts of human nature. There is a limit to his intellectual capacity, so rapidly attained that at the age of 14 the mind has reached the maximum of its power. As the intelligence of animals is developed at an earlier age, than that of a human being, but quickly reaches its limit, beyond which it cannot proceed, so is the mind of the negro inferior to that of the white man. Indolence is a vice inherited by the entire negro race. Unless subjected to conditions that necessitate labour they will avoid work and if left to themselves they will relapse into the natural savagedom of Africa, no matter in what country they may be placed."

(Before Mr. Justice Willes.) THE ST. GILES'S MURDER. John Richard Jeffery, 31, tailor, was indicted for the wilful murder of his son, Richard Arthur Jeffery, on the 30th of July, in the parish of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields. Mr. Poland and Air. Besley prosecuted; and Mr. Daly and Mr. Straight defended the prisoner. Mr. Poland opened the case, and detailed the circum stances of the alleged murder. Winesses were then examined, whose evidence was nearly identical with that given recently at Bow-street Police-court, on the occasion of the prisoner being com mitted for trial. The circumstances then deposed to will . be so fresh in the recollection of our readers that no reca pitulation of them is needed now.
