(Before the Right Hon. Sir J. P. Wilde and a Common Jury.) WHITMORE T. WHITMORE AND EIRETTELL. The further hearing of this case was resumed this morn. ing. Mr. Coleridge proposed to call Wylie, the keeper of an alleged brothel at Wolverhampton, but the learned judge considered that as the witness Hall had not denied the statement she had made to Wylie, he thought it would be superfluous and a waste of the public time to call him. The Queen's Advocate then addressed the jury on the part of the respondent. He said that they were now coming to the Conclusion of this lengthy, he "might term it, most disreputable case. Ho was satisfied that that letter, written by old Mrs. Whittaker, in which sho frames an indict ment of cruelty as gently as her maternal feelings would allow against her son, would induce the jury to return a verdict in favour of his client. The learned counsel then reviewed the whole of the evidence. The jury had not returned a verdict when we wen press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBORO UGH-S TREE T. THE REGENT-STREET NUISANCE.—AN IMPROVED STATE OF AFFAIRS.—Emma Steward, a young woman, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with loitering in Regent-street for the purposes of prostitution, to the annoyance of the inhabitants. Mr. Dolby, engineer, of the Regent's-quadrant, proved seeing the prisoner, from nine till ten o'clock last night, parading in the Regent's-quadrant and accosting. gentle men. He wished to state that since tho convictions had taken place there had been a great improvement in the place, and he was most desirous that it should be kept up. Mr. Knox said he was glad to hear what Mr. Dolby had said. Hunter, C division, proved seeing the prisoner accost gentlemen, and said he had seen her every night for the last few weeks at the same place. Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 405., or a month. Mary Shillaleck and Louisa Lawrence were next charged with a similar offence. Mr. Dolby having given evidence, Police-constable Butcher, 137 C, proved being accosted by the prisoners, he being in plain clothes•at the time.

Mr. Knox, after telling the prisoners that they must keep away from the street,' - fined them 405., or a month each. WESTMINSTER. AN UNWELCOME VISITOR, AND "ALL LlES."—Frede rick Knight, a man of very respectable appearance, was charged on a warrant with assaulting his mother Louisa, upwards of 70 years of age, putting her in bodily fear. Ho was apprehended, after great difficulty, this morning by Knowland, 141 B, who had to break open a door to take him. Complainant said that last November her son (the defen dant) forced himself upon her with his wife and two chil dren. She had not room for them, as she had two other lodgers, and repeatedly asked them to go, but they would not. He knocked her about whenever he liked, and threatened to kill her. Last Wednesday he struck her, knocked her down, and her head came in contact with a wall, by which she was injured. He was very violent at all times, but not drunk. She got a peace warrant, for she was afraid of her life. Defendant—l have not forced myself upon my mother at all. She invited mo to come and live with her with my wife and family, and I was to be her agent, to take the care off her hands. She is upwards of 70 years of age, and wanted me to look after her business for her. Mrs. Knight—lt's all lies what ho says, don't listen to him. Ho ran away from his wife, and I had to send the money to Scotland to bring him back again. I want his wife to go as well as him. I can't keep them. He has smashed all my furniture to pieces, and everything else. The plates, cups and saucers, basins, and jugs, he has smashed, and carried off everything. I have not got any thing to eat out of. If they ain't turned out lam afraid they will smash me as well as my things. Defendant—She has behaved herself in a scandalous manner to me. My father left a little property to be divided between my brother and myself at her death, and because she does as she likes with it I don't like it, and threatened to apply to the Court of Chancery, she says all this of me. Mrs. Knight—He tells all lies. Don't believe him. I have taken care of myself for fifteen years, and I can do it now, Defendant—l did not strike her at all. Mr. Selfe said he must turn out at once, and told his wife to go and get the furniture and things away, and when that was done he should let her husband come. lie should order him to find a surety in £2O to keep the peace. THAMES, • • , SCANDALOUS TRICK OF A PAWNBROKER.-A poor woman complained to Mr. Woolrych of a pawnbroker. She had pawned her bed with a Jew pawnbroker, who was lately convicted at 'this- court for taping in unfinished shop work, and when she redeemed it the bed was much lighter than it was when she pawned it. A portion of the feathers had been removed. The bed was in a sheet when she pawned it, and it was returned without the sheet. Mr. Woolrych—Did you weigh your bed before you pawned it? Applicant—No, I did not, sir. Mr. Woolrych—Every person about to pawn a bed should weigh it, and weigh it again when redeemed. Take a summons against the pawnbroker for detaining the sheet, and an inquiry shall bo made about the feathers. A RECEIVER WANTED.---JOhII Levy, a Jew, was brought up on remand charged with receiving, knowing it to be stolen, a large quantity of copper, which had been taken out of a lighter belonging to Mr. Hayes, on the river Thames. Mr. Miller, of Eastcheap, solicitor for the prosecution, said that a man named Robinson, a marine store dealer, in Brook-street, Ratcliff, of whom Levy bought the copper, had absconded, and asked for another remand. Mr. L. Lewis, of Ely-place, solicitor for the prisoner, said there really was no case against him. _ _ Mr. Miller—Really, Mr. Lewis, how can you say that ? Copper worth £64 is stolen, and finds its way to the pri soner's shop on the same day. He buys•it for £4l. There is a case, a good caso against him. The prisoner was remanded on bail for another week STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER, March 10.—The market is de pressed owing to the advices brought from America by the Etna steamship. In shipping yarns the amount of business doing is very small, yet there are some extremely large offers making, which, though made at prices too low to meet the views of spinners, may be taken as an indication that buyers do not anticipate the market will decline much further. In home-trade yarns there has been rather more business in 32's twist, at about 1d per lb. de cline on the prices of Tuesday. In most other counts of yarn the market has been quiet, though it is thought that this branch of our market is scarcely so much depressed by the American news as the cotton-market at Liverpool appears to be. In cloths we had a quiet market on Wednesday and yesterday, with drooping prices. A fair business, however, was done, a good many buyers evidently adopting the rates to which prices had sunk as suffi ciently low to render operations tolerably safe. To day cloths are depressed again by the American advices, like everything else in the market. There is a pretty general inquiry to-day for cloths, but lower prices are offered, and business is in a great measure checked. Generally speaking, prices are sensibly weaker, both in yarns and cloths, since Tuesday, but owing to the great irregularities which prevail in a market like the present, it is difficult to estimate the extent of the decline. NOTTINGHAM, 10th.--There was a limited at tendance of merchants and manufacturers at the Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand for lace yarns was dull. Fine numbers were, however, not much altered, but coarse ditto must be quoted 2d. per lb. lower. Hosiery yarns had also a declining tendency. Silks as before. The demand for brown nets was dull, and prices had a declining tendency. AERIAL LOCOMOTION.—A prize of 5,000 f. has been placed at the disposal of the French Society for the Encouragement of Aerial Locomotion, by means of ap paratuses heavier than air. This was announced at a late meeting of the society by M. Landelle, vice-president, in his report on the operations of 1864. Several experi mental apparatuses have already been constructed, among which we may mention that of M. do Groof, but, owing to the defective execution of some of its parts, is not yet in working order. An interesting experiment was made at Gravelles the oth . 9r day. The members of the Society who undertook it obtained some good results from a rudi mentary apparatus consisting of wings made of feathers, according to M. Menuisier's method. By striking the air with these wings, the experimentalists succeeded in raising themselves a few inches from the ground, a fact which partly confirms the story about the Viennese watchmaker Deghen, and also tho theory of those who maintain that demonstrative results may be obtained by the direct appli cation of human strength alone. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT, IN PRlSONS.—According to an official return published yesterday 1,138 prisoners have been punished by the whip in gaols in England and Wales since April 24, 1863. THE IRNY. By the death of the Duke de Morny, President of the Corps Legislatif of France, the intelli gence of whose decease has been received by telegraph, the Emperor Napoleon has lost another of his most valued advisers, and one who had taken an exceedingly active and important part in , the establishment of the Empire. The duke expired yesterday morning at Paris. For some time past his state of health has been very unsatisfactory ; and although it has been announced that he continued to improve, his friends feared that a fatal termination of his malady was but too imminent. The doctors but four days since promised that if their patient were allowed rest there was hope that he would soon recover, though there was no probability that he would be enabled to be present in the Chambers during the discussion on the address which has been delayed for some time in consequence of the illness of the president. The Emperor passed the evening of Tuesday last with the duke, and the Empress has visited the Duchess de Morny within the last few days. The duke was born in Paris in October, 1811, and was educated by the Countess de Souza (Madame de Flahault), who filled a high position in the Court of the first Emperor Napoleon, and who achieved much success in literature. He afterwards (as we learn from M. Vapereau's valuable biographical work) entered a scholastic institution con ducted by M. Muron, and here he made the acquaintance of Edgar Ney, in com pany of whom, and under the special direc tion of M. Casimir Bonjour, he gained many prizes, and evinced great aptitude for study. Brought under the notice of Talleyrand, that saga cious statesman discerned the talent which the young student possessed, and in allusion to bis vivacity of mind uttered a prophecy which was more than ful filled. " This little man will be Minister one day," said.Nalleyrand, and events proved the truth of the prediction. Even as a young t man the Duke de Morn) , was ylistinguished for the grace and 'efeganCe of his manners,, which perhaps in some measure assured his success in life during later years. After having passed some time in the Staff School, M. de Morny left that institution in 1832 with the rank of sous-lieutenant in a Lancer regiment, and at the commencement of his military career was quartered at Fontainebleau. The tedium of his barrack life was relieved by the study of metaphysics and theology, in which he took great interest ; but the quietud6 of his studies was soon inter rupted by an order to proceed to Africa, where he served with distinction under the Duke d'Orleans when that unfortunate prince held command in the French colony. His royal highness entertained a high opinion of the sous-lieutenant, and, under the orders of M. de Changarnier, he made the campaign of Mascara, and also the first campaign of Constan tine, in which he was wounded. .He had the honour to be repeatedly mentioned in the orders of the day, and was decorated for saving the life of General Trezel, who was in military command of the pro vince of 'Oran during the war against Abd-el-Fader. Aftersome six years of a soldier's life M. de Morny retired from the military service, and being possessed of a considerable private fortune—Queen Hortense bequeathed to him a considerable annuity—he turned his situation to commercial pursuits, and purchased a large establishment near Clermont, where he car ried on the manufacture of beet-root sugar to a great extent. During this period he published a work on the " sugar question," which was so highly approved of, and displayed so much commer cial knowledge that, although only 27 years of age, he was elected president of the committee appointed to investigate the subject. His success in his first speculation caused some capitalists to place him at the head of more important undertakings, which he conducted with great ability. In 1842 began his political life by his election as deputy from the de partment of Puy-de-Dome, which he represented, in conjunction with M. JouVet, the eminent French lawyer, and displayed much talent in the elucida tion of several commercial questions. He urged the Chambers to adopt certain financial improvements, and especially in relation to the question of bank notes. In respect of the conversion of rentes he brought forward a project whi c h f orme d th e basis of the system afterwards adopted. Constitutional questions of a high order also engaged his attention ; and although, while in the ranks of the Centre, he supported the Guizot Cabinet by votes which were not always popular, he belonged t o th a t frac- tion of progressist Conservatives of whom the jour nal conducted by Emile de Girardin had become the organ. The Revue des Deux Mondes of Jan., 1848, contained a remarkable article from the pen of M. de Morny, entitled " Some Reflections on Current Politics." The social question and the dangers in herent in it were clearly set out in this article. When the revolution of 1848 broke out M. de Morny held aloof from politics for some time ; but, aided by the assistance of the National Discount Society (Comptoir National), he was enabled to re sume his commercial and financial operations, which, aided by events, opened to him all the sources of fortune, and he acquired great wealth by specu lations of a multifarious nature. Under the auspices of the electoral committee of the Rue de Poitiers he also again entered on public life about this time, and was once more elected to represent the Puy-de- Dome. Up to the occurrence of the division be . tween the Parliamentary Right and the politics of the Elysee, he voted with the monarchical majority. The great feature in his political career was the share he took in the coup d'etat of December 2, to a previous knowledge and preparation of which he was admitted by the Emperor, in consequence of marked devotion to his cause. In carrying out this measure the Duke de Morny displayed great bold ness and coolness. The evening of the Ist of De cember he passed at the Opera-Comique ; and dur ing the performance, in reply to a lady who asked him what he should do if the Assembly were swept away, he replied--" I should try to keep by the side of the- broom." On that same day also he gave to some of his friends tickets of admission for the sit ting of the Chambers, which was destined never to , take place and it is said that in eulogising the character of M. de Thorigny, the Minister of the Interior, whom he was to replace in a few hours, he let slip the expression, 4 , He was a good Minister." The morning after the arrest of the chiefs of the Democratic party the Duke de Morny undertook the post of Minister of the Interior, and alone among the new Ministers signed the first proclama- tions issued under the new state of affairs, and also countersigned all the acts and decrees emanating from his department. The most important of the decrees then hsued was that by which the Presi dent announced to the people and the army that the National Assembly was dissolved, that the law of May 31 was abrogated, that universal suffrage was re-established, and that the French people were called upon to pronounce as to the basis of a constitution modelled on that of the First Consul. M. de Morny became a second Cromwell at this juncture, for when more than 200 representatives assembled under the _ _ _ presidency of M. Benoit-d'Azy to protest and organise legal resistance, he undertook the respon sibility of ordering their dispersal or arrest, saying that he wished to save them from the effects of their own courage. Among other remarkable documents which M. de Morny issued at this time must be men- loncd that dated Dec. 4, in which he called upon he prefects to require from public functionaries heir adhesion in writing to the gfeat measure which the Government had just accomplished; also a circu lar dated a few days afterwards announcing to the extraordinary commissioners that their mission was at an end; and finally, one dated Dec. 19, 1852, fully explaining the plan to be adopted at the elec tions, and the ideas of the Government on the subject. M. de Morny's stay in the Ministry was but brief, as in conjunction with Messrs. Fould, Magne, and Rouher he retired on Jan. 23, 1852, in consequence of the decree respecting the Orleans property in France, but his three colleagues soon returned to office. He, however, presented himself to the notice of the electors as a Government candidate, and was returned for both Ambert and Clermont, as the de- puty of which latter place he chose to sit. He suc ceeded M. Billault as president of the Assembly in 1854, and continued to hold that distinguished post till his death. The late duke proceeded to Russia in 1856 as French Ambassador, and in that capacity was pre- sent at the coronation of the present Emperor. He represented the Napoleonic dynasty with much dis tinction, being treated at St. Petersburg more as the private friend of the Emperor Napoleon than as his Ambassador; and the results of his mission were the re-establishment of cordial relations between the two powers, and a treaty of ,commerce most advan tageous to the interests of his own country. In St. Petersburg also he made the acquaintance of the young and wealthy daughter of a Russian noble, the Princess Troubeskoi, who had been edu cated at the Institution of the Imperial Maids of Honour. The late Dowager Empress wished to place the princess in the household of the reigning Em- press, but her services were declined for a reason which must have been sufficiently consolatory. Her Majesty frankly stated that she considered the prin cess to be " too beautiful." As a wedding present to the bride, the Empress sent her portrait set in diamonds, and the duke is stated to have presented his newly married wife with diamonds valued at 2,000,000 f., besides which he purchased in her name the estate of the Sevlosky family, situated a few miles from the Russian capital. During late years the name of the Duke de Horny has been associated with many vast undertakings, including railways, canals, mines, credit societies, and other enterprises of a similar nature ; but while engaged in pursuits of this kind, and while holding his high political position, he cultivated his taste for literature and the fine arts ; and the acquisition of chefs d'oeuvre was one of his private pursuits the most ardently cherished, as witnessed by his gallery of paintings, which ranks as one of the best private collections. In addition to possessing the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour the late count was a member of various other orders. Metropolitan Board of Woras. The weekly meeting of the members of the Board of Works was held yesterday, at .their. offices, Spring-gardens ; Mr. Thvs;aites in the chair. The financial statement showed the current ac counts to be £976,397 Os. Id. ; deposit accounts, £350,000 ; and government securities, £51,371 10s. Upon the assembling of the board, Mr. TAYLOR rose, and in appropriate language presented, in the names of his colleagues, to Mr. Thwaites, the chairman, a testimonial as a mark of their respect and appreciation of the uniform and courteous .manner in which he had fulfilled and continues to fulfil the office of chairman. The testimonial consisted of a portrait of Mr. Thwaites-,' painted by Mr. Alexander Melville, and bore the following inscription :—" Presented to John P. Thwaites, Esq., J.P., ThL., Middlesex, Chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works, by his colleagues, March 10, 1865." Mr. TITE spoke in complimentary terms of the unform good temper and firmness with which Mr. Thwaites had all along fulfilled the office of chair man of their board. Mr. THWAITES acknowledged the compliment his colleagues had paid him in the presentation of the testimonial, which he said was the more enhanced from the fact of its bearing the signatures of all his colleagues, and he thanked them from the bot tom of his heart for their unanimous expression of kindly feelings towards himself. The business of the day was then proceeded with. The main feature discussed was a report from Mr. Coode and Mr. Rawlinson as to the material used for filling-in behind the Thames Embankment. Mr. CARPMAEL said the sum and substance of the report which had been read was that if the ballast taken out of the bed of the Thames were used for the filling-in in its wet condition it would not be go effectual as it would be if it were allowed to dry first. He did not agree with the statement, and he begged therefore to move that it be printed, circulated, and referred to the Thames Embankment Committee for their report. Mr. SAMUDA thought the gravel taken out of the River Thames was the best material that could be used. The CHAIRmAN—The question was considerably narrowed becausing dredging was then going on at the particular spot, and he believed the material was all that could be desired. Mr. TAYLOR was sure that the material woul( answer admirably—the thing was to ensure its con tinued supply. Some further discussion ensued, and the question was ultimately referred to the Thames Embank ment committee for consideration. Some routine business was then gone through, and she board adjourned.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. DAT CHE T S TEEPEECHASES, —FRIDAY. A continuance of the fine weather which attended the Liverpool Spring Meeting promised to favour during the morning this home gathering, but unfortunately rain set in soon after noon. Notwithstanding these disagremens a tolerably strong muster of the usual varied company were present. The list of sport, which commenced at two o'clock, comprised four items, which wore run off by half-past four o'clock. An excellent country had been selected mid way between Datchet and Windsor, the entry to the course—by payment of the now usual gate-money levy of one shilling each—by singular ingenuity being arranged at a bridge across an arm of the Thames. The sport, which requires little comment, is fully described below. The Trial Steeplechase of 5 sovs each, with 30 added,•for horses which have.never won a steeeplechase or flat race value 100 sovs ; weight for age, with certain penalties and allowances. About three miles. Mr. J. G. G. Shaw's Merrimac, aged, 12st 121 b ...(Page) 1 Mr. Burlington's Old Windsor 5 yrs, list 7th (Mr. Clare) 0 Mr. Harford's Ace of Trumps, '6 yrs, 12st (H. States) 0 Betting-9 to 2on Merrimac. Merrimac cut out the work, followed by Old Windsor and Ace of Trumps, who both refused at the first fence, and allowed the favourite to go on with a commanding lead ; the pair being got over, went on in pursuit, but Ace of Trumps again refused at the next fence, and States being unable to get him over, walked him back to the Stand. After going about a mile and a quarter, Old Wind sor took the lead, and Merrimac, pulling hard, waited until within a quarter of a mile from home, when he rushed to the front, and cantered in some 300 yards in front of Old Windsor, who, dead beat, could not be got over the last fence. A Selling Steeplechase of 5 sovs each, with 30 added ; four-yr-olds, 10st 71b ; five, list 101 b ; six and aged' 12st : selling allowances. About two miles. Mr. Elphick's Foreteller, 4 yrs (X3O), lOst (Pickett) 1 Mr. Gilko's Moscow, 6 yrs (1-30), list 71b ...(Mr. Barry) 2 Mr. Clark's Mystery, 6 yrs (.£5O) 12st (Owner) 3 The following also ran.:—Lisbon, Advent, and The Don. Betting-2 to 1 agst The Don. Moscow may play, closely attended by Advent and Fore teller: the others, well up, were got over the first fence safely with the exception of The Don, who, despite Ben Land's most vigorous efforts, could not be got well over. After going about half a mile Advent took the command, but soon refusing, gave way to Mystery, who was closely followed by Moscow, Foreteller, and Lisbon. Half a mile from home Mystery gavg way to Moscow and Fore teller, and the latter deprived Moscow of the lead two distances from home, and won a good race by three quarters of a length ; a length divided the second and third. The winner was sold to Mr. Hart for 100 guineas. The Windsor Plate of 50 sovs, for all ages ; winners after the publication of the weights 51b extra. About two miles. Mr. C. Thumwood's Sinito (ped. unkn.) 6 yrs, lOst 71b (Mr. , Harford) 1 Mr. Evan's Goldfinder, 6 yrs, lOst 71b (Monahan) 2 Mr. Burlington's Sir Bobby, aged, list 121 b - (Mr. Barry) 3 The following also ran :—Antelope, Eheu, and Specula ion (late Blair Athol). Betting-2 to 1 agst Antelope, 3to 1 each agst Gold finder and Sinite, 10 to 1 (at first 2 to 1), agst Sir Bobby. Antelope made play with a slight advantage, the oth ers , _ _ lying well up, being headed by Goldfinder and Sinite, Eheu bringing up the rear. The lot ran in tolerably close order for a mile and a half, when Antelope gave way to Goldfinder, at whose girths lay Sinite. At the last fence but one the two leaders closed, and running head and head, topped the last fence into the winning field at the same moment, from which point an exciting race ensued, which ended in favour of Sinite by a neck; Si Bobby was a bad third ; Speculation trotted in fourth, and Eheu was fifth. The Hunters' Stakes of 5 sous each, with 25 added, for horses thathave beenregularlyhunted ; 12st ; with ponal- ties and allowances. About three miles. Mr. Elphick's Laurie Martin (£100), 12st (B. Land) 1 Mr. Stollery's Concave (X5O), list 21b (Mr. Shirley) 2 The following also ran :—Dispute (late Anchorite), Brick, and Perfect Cure. Betting-5 to 4 agst Dispute, 2to 1 agst Laurie Martin, 4 to 1 agst Concave. Mick cut out the work for the first mile, after which Concave took up the running, and three-quarters of a mile from home he was many lengths in advance of Brick ; next to whom, at a wide interval, followed Laurie Martin. Three fences from home Brick came down from sheer distress, and Laurie Martin, overhauling Concave at every stride, headed him after clearing the last hurdle, and won easily at the finish by two lengths. Nothing else passed the post. The winner was bought by Mr. Hart for 107 guineas. STAG HUNTING IN YOIIKSHIRE.—For some time a magnificent red deer (a stranger) has afforded a moved ex citement to the sporting gentry of the three ridings. A fortnight ago the Easing-weld staghounds had a splendid run after him from Newburgh Park to the Derwent, some miles below Malton, where the stag took the water and gave his pursuers the slip. Since then ho has been about the Castle Howard Woods and neighbourhoods, and at length seemed to have finally fixed on a sojourn in Bossal Wood, on the Derwont. Hero the hounds, with a large field, reappeared on Wednesday, when thoy were soon in full cry, the stag taking a way for the wolds over a most difficult country. After a tremendous run, the stag crossed the Driffield Railway some 15 to 20 minutes ahead of the field, and with only a single hound up with him. At Burdall he would have taken a shed, but there chanced to be two young foxhounds in it, and they caused the chase to be re-commenced. Away all went again towards the sea, but eventually the stag turned for the Holdemess country, and skirting Wartre, was at length pulled down at Nun burnholme, near Market Weighton, after a splendid run of nearly 50 miles ; time, sh. sm. After this tremendous run, there were few that had not had " quite . enough of it." Next day the stag was coveyed by train to Easing wold, where he is now an occupant of the deer-yard, and seems little the worse for his exertions, and is secured un hurt, for a run on a future day. He is a genuine red deer; and, it is alleged by some, is the veritable erratic stag hunted by Sir Clifford Constable last season, and which took the sea on the Holderness coast, and was suppoted to have been drowned. If this be really so, his life has been one of extraordinary adventure, he having been fished out of salt water three or four times. GREAT FIRE IN lICNTINGDONSHIIRE.—IMMENSE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY.—A fire, originating with an agricultural steam-engine, broko out on the pre mises of Mr. Fortescue, in, the village of Winwick, Hunt ingdonshire, on Wednesday night. The wind being high the flames spread rapidly from one farm to another, the last farm which caught being nearly half a mile from where the fire originated. On Mr. Fortescue's farm a large quantity of corn, 13 beasts, 1 horse, &c., were consumed, besides outbuildings. On the farm of Mr. Jellis a large quantity of corn and the buildings were consumed, and 78 ewes in lamb, were burnt alive. A considerable portion of the remaining flock also presented a dreadful appearance, some having been partially roasted. The eyes were burnt in their sockets, the wool off their backs, and their heads were fearfnlly swollen, being objects of terrible misery. On the farm of Miss Ashwell nothing was saved, she hav ing but just time to put her clothes on. The damage done on Mr. Gifford's farm, which was only partially consumed, is estimated at about £5OO. The total damage dono, in cluding two cottages, may be estimated at between £3,000 and £4,000. The loss chiefly falls on the Suffolk, Alliance, and Norwich, Fire Offices.

At the same meeting of the Council Mr. Edward J. A. Trimmer, M.A., Cantab, was elected secre tary of the College in the vacancy occasioned by the decease of Mr. E. Belfour, who held the office for upwards of half a century. HIBERNATION OF INSECTS.—On this subject M. Githin-Meneville communicated a very interesting paper last week to the Academy of Sciences. About the middle of Oct., 1863, happening to put his hand into a basket where he kept some cocoons of the silkworms he rears at the Imperial farm of Vincennes, he felt a painful sting,which he soon discovered to have been inflicted by a large female wasp which had got into the basket, it seems, to pass the winter there. This wasp appeared motionless, and presented an aspect very different from that which pertains to the per fect insect. Examining it with attention, he perceived that its wings, longitudinally folded, like those of all dip loptera, were bent under the body, being kept in that posi tion by the legs. Ile touched and turned the insect about in various ways without succeeding in awakening it, but per ceived that when he disturbed it too much it would dart out its poisonous weapon as if to defend itself, and that it could oven move its paws sufficiently to cling to the thing which lay in its way. This wasp awoke from its trance been in April, 1864, in consequence of its kept in a warm room, and it ultimately,di2lie4datvhionfgohfusnegpe_r in the glass where it was kept. On the must have entered and d place o n N for ov 27 f oun d asleep and s t i tember last, M. Guerin-Menev ille found another wasp in the same laboratory, wh ere it with the intention of see kin g long winter siesta. It w as p ut following it was into a convenient box, clinging to the lid, with its antenna), legs, and wings folded up under the head and body, and in a complete stato of immobility. From that time M. Meneville has kept this box in-a room which is never heated ; though he sometimes opens the box in a warm room to show the insect in that state. On the 22d of February last, he took it to the Soci6t6 Entomo logique, and on the 27th following ho produced it at the sitting of the Academy of Sciences, In this entranced state the insect has quite the appearance of a chrysalis, and in the case of the wasps it enjoys the partial use of some of its members. It can defend itself against an enemy with its sting, but it cannot get out of the way of danger either by crawling or flying. The Lock-out in the Iron Trade. NEWCASTLE-ON -TYNE, Friday. The determination come to by the North of England Ironmasters' Association to lock-out the mills and forges in the Cleveland districts to-morrow is causing great animosity among the working classes, as the National Association of Ironworkers connected with the Gateshead district has done everything in its power to put a stop to the strike in North Stafford shire, and has refused to give men their aid. Meet ings of the men will be held in different places throughout the district to-morrow to determine upon measures to meet the lock-out. The meeting of the Masters' Association, which was strictly private, was held here yesterday, in the office of Messrs. Lock, Wilson, and Bell. There are several repre sentatives from North and South Staffordshire. The following circular has been issued : " Newcastle, March 9. " At a meeting of the North of England Ironmasters' Association Field here to-day, at which deputations were present from North and South Staffordshire, report is made that tho North Staffordshire men did not resume work on the 4th inst., and that the lock-out has conse quently. taken place in Staffordshire: " Resolved, —That, in accordance with the notices given, the mills and forges of this district be closed on Saturday next, the 11th inst., and that no member of this association re-open his works till that course be approved by this asso ciation as a body. " It was further resolved that this association, desiring to facilitate in every way the settlement of the difficulty which has arisen, appoints Messrs. C. M. Palmer, T. Bell, George Dyson, and D. Dale, in conjunction with the hon. secretary, a standing committee to entertain any overtures tending thereto, preliminary to submitting them to this association." The local papers of this morning state that all the large ironworks in the district will not close, not withstanding this meeting. It is said that the ex tensive firm of Messrs. Hawks, Crawshay, and Co., of Gateshead, is one of those which still continue at work. If the lock-out should still continue long it will have a serious effect upon the prosperity of Middlesborough, Consett, and other districts which depend upon the iron trade, and a number of pit men and others will be knocked off work in the county of Durham. In London a meeting of delegates from the whole of the metropolitan trade societies has been called for next week, at which a deputation from the Ex ecutive Council of the National Association of Iron workers will attend for the purpose of affording the fullest information as to the cause, present posi tion, and probable success of the struggle.

STEEPLE JACK AT OXFORD.—During the last few days public curiosity has been excited at Ox ford by the feats of Mr. John Burns (alias Steeple Jack), who had undertaken to reach the vane that surmounts the tapering and elegant spire of Exeter College Chapel, which had become corroded in its own socket, and render it Lovable. The ascent was accomplished without a scaf- fold, by a series of ladders ; and the coolness and song froid exhibited by Mr. Burns throughout the operation were astonishing. The finial and weather cock were re moved by him, and after being refitted with a copper socket, and subjected to the process of regilding, wore safely fixed in their place by Mr. Burns. Notwithstand ing the hazardous character of the work and the. high winds that prevailed, not the slightest accident occurred, and the job has been finished to the satisfaction of the Rev. the Vice Chancellor and the members of the college.
