The remains of the water inhabitants are, as I said before, more numerous than those of the land. Tho chief interest in these shells and fishes arises from the question, Did they inhabit fresh or salt water ? or, in other words, did my ancestors flourish by land or the sea ? as from the great frequency of a shell Unio, which bore a resemblance to the fresh -water mussel, they were thought to be necessarily of fresh -water origin. —Once a Week.

Viscount Amberley at Leeds• (From the Leeds Mercury) Last night Lord Amberley addressed a portion of the electors of Leeds in the Music Hall, at the invi tation of the Leeds Registration Society ; Mr. Andrew Fairbairn in the chair. The admission was by circular, addressed only to the electors in certain districts of Leeds, it having been arranged that the electors in the remaining districts should be addressed to-night. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the meeting, said it must be distinctly understood that Lord Amberley did not come forward as a candidate, but simply to explain his views, with a view to his becoming a can didate if his views were approved of. Viscount AMBERLEY said that on the former occa sion he had spoken on one particular topic, but it was now his duty to address them on the various ques tions of interest of the day. The first question to be considered by members of Parliament to be elected at next election would be whether the present Go vernment deserved, by their management of affairs, especially foreign affairs, to be continued in office. He said foreign affairs because, perhaps, it is in this that there is the greatest difference of opinion be tween the two parties. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord then expressed his approvalof the conduct of the Go vernment in reference to the revolution. in Italy, allud ing to the attack upon Mr. Stansfeld last session as a very curious outbreak of the old hatred of the Con servative party to anything lire enthusiasm in the Italian cause. He approved of the Government's policy with reference to Poland. As they were, in fact, almost bound by treaty to see that the Govern ment of Poland was properly conducted, at least that it was governed by a constitution, " we were absolutely called upon to represent to Russia our opinion of her conduct. And although the represen tations of the English Government may not have produced any important palpable effect, I believe they will be gratefully remembered by the Poles in after times." (Applause). He also approved of the Government policy in regard to the Dano-German dispute, expressing the opinion that Denmark had received much of the sympathy bestowed upon it as the weaker party in the dispute. As to non-inter vention he supported what he understood to be the Government's principle—not to interfere in the internal affairs of other nations, disapprov ing, however, of the departure from it in the case of the Oriental nations. But he said, " I am very far from blaming the present Government, because I believe the policy they have pursued in China and Japan has been entailed upon them by the policy of preceding administrations." He con cluded by saying—" I will only touch for one minute upon domestic affairs, wishing rather to leave to you to put such questions as may suggest themselves to you, being very willing to give you my answers as far as I am able to do. (Hear.) You are all aware that I am in favour of what are called liberal measures; that I would welcome some change in the system of representation—(applause) —but I may also add that there are various other reforms I should be extremely glad to see effected. There is the whole question of the Poor Law to be considered, the question of the punishment of crime the question of education. All those things need much conside ration, and it would be my earnest endeavour if I should ever be in Parliament—(hear, hear, and cheers)—to support any measures that might bear beneficially on the people in these respects. (Ap plause.) I will, however, not enter at length upon those matters how, but will sit down and expose myself to that process of examination which I have no doubt you understand how to conduct with sufficient vigour." (Laughter and cheers.) Several questions were put to the noble lord by various electors, in reply to which he said he was in favour of the abolition of the punishment of death. He declined to promise to support the ballot, on the ground that the advocates of the measure had failed to prove their case, and he should like further proof. He would vote for the abolition of church rates. He was asked if he would vote for the repeal of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, but said that though he would not object to such measure he did not think there was any urgent necessity for the pro posal. Mr. WEATHERLEY—HOW far could you go in re gard to the extension of the franchise ? (Cheers.) Lord AMBERLEY—That is scarcely a question which I should be able to answer in a few words. My own view is, that some extension of the suffrage is required, but in what way the suffrage ought to be fixed lam not exactly prepared to say. I shall take another opportunity before I leave Leeds of saying a few words upon this question. (Hear.) You are already aware, from what I said before, that I should be very g l a d to see some further re presentation of the labouring classes, and of all classes that I wish to see represented. (Hear, hear.) There are various considerations with regard to the extension of the suffrage which it would take me too long to enter into at present. lam inclined to think that if we had some test by which we could obtain the most intelligent voters, that is the thing which ought to be aimed at. (Hear, hear.) Ido not altogether like the present suffrage, and I should be very glad to see it altered. (Cheers.) An ELECTOR inquir e d his lordship's opinion as to the Irish State Chur c h ? Lord AMBERLEY-I consider the State Church of Ireland a very great anomaly. (Cheers.) So far as the endowments of the Irish Church are concerned, I should very much wish to see them applied entirely to secular purposes, to the promotion of education, and of other measures of public utility. (Applause.) Mr. DENTON-Will Lord Amberley vote for the repeal or amendment of the present law relating to masters and workmen ? Lord AMBERLEY promised to acquaint himself with the provisions of the act, and give his opinion. He was sorry he could not give a more definite re ply, ,at present. _ _ _ DIr.DENTON said he could explain in a few words, upon which The CHAIRMAN observed that it was undesirable that every gentleman should go into a treatise on all the questions introduced. If Lord Amberley could not answer the question, of course he could not. (Loud laughter.) As Lord Amberley has i\lr nOt C ;i u v n en cill a ° po r S si l t i i E v P e ll a E n ß s p w — e r to the question re specting the suffrage, I should like to ask a more definite question. If returned to Parliament, would he vote for the extension of the franchise to £6 occupiers ? (Hear, hear.) Lord AMBERLEY.—I certainly am inclined to think that an extension of the suffrage to £6 might be a good measure, but I am not prepared to say quite positively that I should vote in favour of it. I will give that my best consideration. (Slight dissatis faction.) An ELECTOR inquired whether Lord Amberley would vote for manhood suffrage —a question which was received with loud hisses, and cries of " Don't answer." was not better to reserve questions affecting the Mr. D. LUPTON put it to the meeting whether it suf frage until Lord Amberley had had an opportunity to give a full explanation of his views as he had promised. A VOICE—Would Lord Amberley vote for na tional education ? Lord AMBERLEY—I should wish to understand whether the gentleman means free education— education gratis. There ought to be some means the reach of every ne ple if that is w hat is one, but placing education a general within pricin meant I should not be disposed to adopt national education. (Hear.) On the contrary, I think it is very desirable that all who can pay should pay. (Cheers.) Lord AMBERLEY also said, in reply to another question, he would vote for Sir J. Trelawny's Affir mation Bill. Mr. FINNIE said he regretted that he was under the necessity of putting a question on a subject which had already been more than once referred to, that of the suffrage.. It should be remembered that Lord Amberley had been brought to the town mainly through the instrumentality of an association formed for the express object of securing an extension of the franchise. (Hear, hear.) He was sorry to dis agree with Mr. Lupton in the remark that as his lordship had intimated his intention on a future oc casion of stating more definitely his views on the franchise, it was unnecessary to do so now. It should be borne in mind that those who were present to night would have no business to be present to-mor row night, and that the meeting on Friday night was for the non-electors. It was absolutely necessary therefore, he submitted, that if possible, without pressing unnecessarily on Lord Amberley, he should express more definitely than he had done his views upon this subject. (Cheers.) The question he would wish to put to Lord Amberley, and press for an answer, if he could possibly give one, was—Would his lordship, if he were in the present House of Commons, vote in favour of Mr. Baines's Borough Franchise Bill ? (Prolonged cheering.) The CHAIRMAN said he could quite understand the desire of the meeting to have a more definite answer, and he would therefore ask Lord Amberley to go a little more minutely into the subject. (Cheers.) Lord AMBERLEY—I think the gentleman is quite right to press the question upon me. (Cheers.) The meeting is entirely right to wish for some definite answer, and I heartily wish myself that I were able to give it. Up to a very recent period I certainly should have said I was in favour of Mr. Baines's bill; it is impossible, however, for any one not living himself among the working classes, not being in fami liar relations with them, and not actually knowing personally the £6 householders, to say whether they are persons who ought to be admitted to the suffrage. I am not one of those who would say that every man ought to have the suffrage as a matter of right. There are some I know who, though per haps they would in many respects agree with me, hold that everybody has a right to the suffrage. Now I am very sorry that I cannot altogether agree in that opinion. A man's right to the suffrage, so far as he has any, appears to me entirely to depend upon his fitness for it. Ido not deviate or go back from my former speech. On the contrary, I have se veral times thought on what I then said, and still think that the opinions I then expressed were per fectly right. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The wish which I then gave utterance to was that every in telligent and honest man might be admitted to the suffrage. I entirely adhere to that opinion, but at the same time it is not altogether in my power to say whether the £6 householders, whether all of them, at any rate, have those qualifications. Many of them no doubt have, and I should be exceed ingly glad if all who are so qualified for the suffrage should be admitted to it. I have been told upon good authority that there are many living in £6 houses who might if they chose live in £lO houses. If that is really the case, if those who could per fectly well afford to live in £lO houses still prefer to live in £6 houses, I cannot think that they are persons who are entitled to be admitted :to the suffrage. (Cries of " Oh, oh.") That is the reason why I hesitate, much to my re gret, to give a definite answer to the meeting. I shall be exceedingly sorry if this meeting should consider, as it has a perfect right to do, that this question is one of such importance that unless I give a definite answer upon it, they will be unable to ap prove of me at all. (Hear, hear, and a voice— " That's a fact.") If in the minds of the Liberals of Leeds this question is of that importance, I hope they will not for a moment allow the question to stand in abeyance ; it is quite right they should in sist upon it ; but I hesitate to give a positive promise upon this point, because I feel that at a future time I might see reason to change my opinion ; and then I could not _very well come to this constituency and be fettered by that pledge, still less could I go to the House of Commons under that pledge, and be driven to one of two courses, either of which would be dishonest. In the one case I should have to vote in favour of a bill of which I could not entirely approve in the other case I should have to break a pledge given to this constituency. Either of these events would place me in a most difficult position, and that is, there fore, why I hesitate to give a positive promise, although I am inclined to regard Mr. Baines's bill with great favour, and it is very probable that I might vote for it. (Hear, hear.) The £6 suffrage is not precisely the kind of suffrage I should like my • self. However, as you are aware, lam very much in favour of extending the franchise to the working classes, and of giving them a proper representation; and if I find that the object cannot be accomplished in the way I myself should wish, I should in all probability vote for Mr. Baines's bill. At the same time I do not find myself in a position to give a positive promise on this matter. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Councillor GAUNT said the rule laid down at this meeting was merely to ask questions, but he thought that was hardly fair. If he had to confine himself to a question, he must say that as the matter at present stood he should vote against Lord Amber ley. (Hear, hear.) He came to the meeting with the very best desire to support Lord Amberley, but at the same time the candidate whom he supported must be one who had made up his mind on the suf frage question—(applause)—he did not say to the extent of £5 or£4, or manhood or universal suffrage, but one whose mind was made up ; and in these cir cumstances he could not support Lord Amberley. (Hear, and applause.) He trusted that before the meeting on Friday night Lord Amberley would be able to state distinctly whether he would go into the lobby with Mr. Beecroft against Mr. Baines, or into the lobby with Mr. Baines. (Applause.) He did not wish Leeds to be stultified by sending to Parliament a seemingly Liberal member who would go into a different lobby from Mr. Baines on the question of reform ; but if Lord Amberley was not prepared to go to the extent of the £6 franchise, he would not walk two yards to support him. (Hear, and cheers.) The CHAIRMAN said he was very sorry Mr. Gaunt had not kept faith with them, and he only hoped that any other gentleman who made speeches would wind up by asking questions. (Laughter.) Other questions were put to Lord Amberley, in reply to which he said he would not wish the Go vernment under present circumstances to recognise the Confederate States ; he would not vote for com pulsory education as in Prussia, for though he had no objection to it on the ground of principle, he thought it would not work here ; and it was possible, on further consideration, he might be in favour of Mr. Lawson's Permissive Bill. An ELECTOR—WouId Lord Amberley vote for the abolition of the income tax ? (Loud and pro longed laughter.) A VOICE—And all other taxes? (Renewed laughter.) Another VOICE—The poor rates as well ? (Con tinued laughter.) The CHAIRMAN—I am sure that each of us would vote against the income tax if we could ; but how, without it, is the Government of the country to be carried on ? A VOICE—By national subscription. (Loud laughter.) Lord AMBERLEY—I suppose we should all of us be glad to get rid of all taxes if we could. At the Lame time I am afraid, in the present circumstances, thy are one of those unfortunate necessities to which we must submit. (Hear, hear, and applause.) And it is thought by the Government that the income tax is one of the best means of raising the taxation required, then I should certainly not vote in favour of its repeal. If the gentleman who pro poses to carry on the Government by voluntary subscription—(loudjaugh ter)— A VoicE—He does not give much. (Laughter.) I Lord Axsauzr—lf that gentleman can get up a PRICE 4d., STAMPED 5d.- -sufficient subscription list then I shall vote in favour of repeal. (Laughter and applause.) An ELECTOR said that looking at Lord Amberley's answer in reference to the Irish Church, he wished to ask whether he was prepared to carry out his principle to its conclusion by adopting it in Eng land ? Was he in favour of appropriating the re venues of the Church for education and certain other secular purposes. Lord AmniaEr—There is of course a wide dif ference between the circumstances of Ireland and England—(hear, hear)—which the gentleman who put the question can scarcely have overlooked. In Ireland the vast majority of the population are Roman Catholics, and a Church is established there holding the creed of the small minority. That is entirely different from the case of the Church of England. (Iliar, hear.) Certainly lam not pre npexiaredontobevtowtheeinn C fa b v u o r ur eb o a f n t d he st a a b t o e lit in ion E o n f g th la e nd co , if that is meant. (Hear, hear.) The principle of State Churches appears to me to be a doubtful one —but as we have the State Church in England, and as I am not able to see that it is here the serious anomaly it is in Ireland, I am in favour of main taining the connexion in this country. (Applause.) No further questions being asked, Mr. J. LUPTON said he rose under the most pecu liar circumstances, and in a very different spirit to that in which he had entered the room ; for he was but little prepared to hear what had been said since they had met. He had come there with the greatest confidence, intending to propose a resolution which he could not now put to the meeting. With regard to the greater number of the questions which had been addressed to Lord Amberley, he had felt that his fellow-townsmen would be able to say " Amen" to what his lordship would utter. But when he came to that question which was dear to his heart, and if he might judge from the spirit of the meeting, was dear to the hearts of all of them—(cheers)—he re ferred to the extension of the franchise--he felt, if he might say so, the breath taken out of him by What Lord Amberley had said. (Hear, hear.) He had felt, from his slight acquaintance with his lordship, that if there was one man in the country who was sound on that question, and agreed on it with his friend Mr. Baines, it was Lord Am berley. He had listened to the speech his lordship delivered to the large meeting a few weeks ago in the Victoria Hall with the greatest pleasure. From that speech he had felt certain of his lordship's views on the subject, and he could not conceive how the change had come over him. Lord Amberley must excuse his being so plain with him, for he could not help it. He must move the following resolution : " That this meeting expresses its thanks to Lord Amberley for his kindness in so fully and frankly expressing his views on the various political ques tions of the day, but at the same time records its opinion that no candidate will satisfy the Liberal electors of this borough whose opinions do not go at least so far as to support the £6 borough franchise." As he had said, he had felt fully satisfied that Lord Amberley would have been quite prepared to have told them that he would vote for such a franchise, and would, without the slightest hesitation, walk into the same lobby with Mr. Baines on the question. Some change had apparently come over his lordship. Per haps he (Mr. Lupton) respected him the more for so frankly and kindly giving them his opinions. (Cheers.) He was young as yet, and he trusted the day was not far distant when he would feel it his bounden duty to support such a franchise. At the ' same time he could not do otherwise than move the resolution. Mr. T. MARSHALL seconded the resolution, but warmly commended Lord Amberley for his openness and boldness. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meeting, when a vast number of hands were held up in its favour, and 30 or 40 against it. Lord AMBERLEY, on rising to return thanks, was received with enthusiastic cheers. He said— I heartily thank the meeting for the resolution they have passed. It is a very frank and proper resolu tion. I also thank them for the kind attention with which they have heard whatever I have had to say, and I regret that what I have said upon this ques tion of the suffrage has not been satisfactory to the majority of the meeting. At the same time, I felt bound not to commit myself more than I have done, because I felt that it was much better that I should frankly state the doubt in my own mind than that I should give a pledge now which I might perhaps have afterwards to retract. (Applause.) There fore, I felt it was my plain duty to give utterance to my opinions now, whatever they might be, even though they might be unpopular with you, and I rejoice that in this way I have ascertained the feel ing of the meeting. (Applause.) It is of the utmost importance to me to know the manner in which this question is regarded here, and although I am very sorry we cannot agree, I thank you for your kind ness, and for the frankness with which you have expressed your views. On the motion of Mr. F. BAINES, seconded by Lord AMBERLEY, a cordial vote of thanks was given to Mr. Fairbairn for presiding. Mr. DARNTON LUPTON stated that Lord Amberley would give a full expose of his views on the franchise to the meeting to-night. The meeting then separated. LEEDS, Thursday Evening, 10 o'Clock. Lord Amberley has just addressed a second meet ing of the Liberal electors of this borough. The meeting, which was very crowded, was held in the Music-hall. Mr. Frederick Baines was in the chair. Lord Amberley confined his remarks to an expression of his views on the elective franchise. The most distinct point in his lordship's speech was that he would, if a member of the House of Com mons, support Mr. Baines's Borough Franchise Bill, the principal of which is a £6 rental franchise in boroughs. This declaration was received with great cheering, and the disunion which his lordship's speech of the previous evening had almost produced among the Liberal electors was avoided, and a resolution of thanks to his lordship for his exposition, coupled with a request that he would allow himself to be put in nomination along with Mr. Baines at the next election, was all but unanimously passed. Lord AMBERLEY said that should he find it con sistent with his duty, and he was sure that two Liberal members would be returned instead of one, he would come forward as a candidate. A large committee was formed to promote the election of Mr. Baines and Lord Amberley, and the meeting closed with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. Admirals Sir Frederick Grey and with other members of the Board of AdiAi al , arel 4 expected to arirve at Portsmouth this morning and visit that portion of our ironclad fleet now lying at Spithead and in Portsmouth harbour, and a few hours cruise may possibly be taken by them off the Isle of Wight. The ships now lying at Spithead comprise the iron frigate Achilles, 20 guns, 1,250-horse power, Capt. E. W. Vansittart ; the Black Prince, 40, 1,250-horse power, Capt. Lord Frederick Kerr; the Royal Sovereign, 5, iron-cased turret-ship, Capt. A. C. Key, C. 8., temporary (of her Majesty's ship E xcellent) ; the ',Liverpool, 34, wooden frigate, 600- horse power, Capt. R. Lambert ;and the Niger, 10, screw corvette, 400-horse power, Capt. Byng. The Royal Sovereign steamed out of Portsmouth har bour to Spithead yesterday morning, where she an chored near the othervessels lying there. The Edgar, a wooden screw liner, is in Portsmouth harbour Bfit ting for her Lisbon voyage ; and the Hector, iron frigate, Capt. G. W. Preedy, is also there. The iron frigate Achilles, 20, 1,250 -horse power, t o r f ial enogivnert,hCeampte.asEur. measures knot Vansittart,knotcourse in Stokes ad near Portsmouth, on Tuesday, with her new four bladed p ro p e ll er , w hi c h h as recen tly been supplied to her at D evonpor t . Th e s hip d rew 25ft. llin. for wardmSte her es finalay, and 26ft. llin. - aft. She was supplied with " Royal Yacht" coal for the trial. This is of the kind known asNixon's Aberdare, from the 4ft. lower seam, and from its superior quality was supplied to the Warrior on the day of her trial. The Achilles' new screw was of the same diameter and pitch as the one she broke during her last trial over the course in Stokes Bay. Plenty of steam was gene rated, and the results of the trial may be stated to be as follows :—Mean speed of the ship in six runs over the mile with full boiler power, 14.322 knots ; mean speed in four runs with half boiler power, 12.049 knots ; indicated horse power of the en gines, as developed on the indicator diagrams, 5,724 ; pressure of steam in boilers, 26.161 b. ; pressure of steam in cylinders, 25.341 b. The speed of our three largest ironclads that have yet been placed under trial is relatively thus :—Warrior, full power, 14.354 knots ; Achilles, ditto, 14.322 ; Black Prince, ditto, 13.584. According to these figures, therefore, the Warrior still maintains her position as the fastest ship in her Majesty's navy by about 32 thousandths of a knot in excess of the Achilles' speed. The hull of the Achilles has a mean immer sion of about 3in. in excess of the hull of the War rior, and this excess will fully account for the slight difference in speed between the two ships. Both vessels have engines made from the same patterns by Messrs. John Penn and Sons, and the detailed working out of the trials gives an astonishing simi larity in the results attained by the power exerted by the engines in comparison with the area of each ship's midship section. The transport Memerby, Capt. John Marley, from Bombay, the 28th Nov., which put into Brest dis abled on the 7th inst., was taken in tow by a steamer at 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning, and arrived in Plymouth Sound yesterday morning at 6 o'clock. She has on board the right wing of the 28th Regi ment, under command of Lieut. Col. Roberts, con sisting in all of 356 rank and file. The officers are Capts. Morgan, Hutton, M'Kenzie, and Angelo ; Lieuts. Brodigen, Thackeray, Horniblow, Auch muty, and Singer ; Adjut. Ranche, Quartermaster Lumsden, and Assist. Surg. Down, M.D. There are also on board Mrs. Roberts and two children, Mrs. Auchmuty, and Mrs. Ranche and two children, and 14 wives of soldiers and 23 children. There has been one death, a private of the 28th, and one birth, during the voyage. In consequence of heavy weather on the 7th inst. the Memerby lost, off Ushant, her bowsprit, jibboom, foremast head, and all above, main topgallant and royal masts, &c. She was compelled to go into Brest for shelter. The transport Tiverton, of Liverpool, 1,174 tons, Capt. I. Smith, which left Bombay on the 6th of November with the left wing of the 28th Regiment, seven officers and five companies, under command of Capt. Hackett, touched at St. Helena on the 18th January, and left on the 19th for Plymouth. The screw steam troopship Urgent, Commander Henderson, from Ireland, arrived at Plymouth on Wednesday, ana is appointed to embark on Monday Major Simpson's Company, No. 1, and Captain Wilson's Company, No. 3, sth Brigade Royal Ar tillery, for conveyance to Shoeburyness. The iron screw steamship Defence, 16, Captain Augustus Phillimore, having received some tempo rary repairs, has been removed from liamoaze into Plymouth Sound, where she shipped her powder. On Wednesday afternoon she left for Spithead. The screw steam Coastguard ship Frederick William, 74, has left Plymouth for her destination, Queenstown. Yesterday the depot companies of the 52d (Light Infantry) Regiment, consisting of two companies, marched out of Chatham garrison to the Strood station of the North Kent Railway, proceeding by special train to Portsmouth, there to await the arrival of the head-quarters of the regiment from India. The 52d left Chatham yesterday 210 strong, including men of all ranks, with 18 women and 20 children, together with the following officers, viz. :—Capts. T. A. Julian, R. W. Ellis, and T. Simpson ; Lieuts. H. L. Powys, E. B. Phillips, and H. J. L. Bruce ; Ensigns R. W. Blackwood, H. G. Fane, M. S. Brownrigge, C. E. Whinyates, and J. Halford.

Matthew Atkinson was this day executed for the murder of his wife at a place called Winlaton, in the county of Durham, on the 18th September last. At the trial on the 14th inst. he was found guilty, and when asked what he had to urge why sentence should not be passed, said that he had led a most unhappy life, and that during the past year he had fetched his wife no less than seven times from another man's house. He was drunk at the time of the occurrence, and although several of the neighbours knew he was beating her, and heard her screams of " murder" continue for upwards of an hour, they did not attempt to interfere, from his known character for brutality and ruffianism. Some hours after he called some neighbours into the room and said, " I have done for her now." After sentence he said, addressing the judge, " Th an k you, my lord, I am prepared to die at any time." His conduct since his condemnation has been orderly and quiet. Ile appeared resigned to his fate, and felt remorse for the deed he had per petrated. At precisely five minutes past eight this morning the prisoner, accompanied by the usual officials, ap.. peared upon the scaffold, Askern being the execu tioner. When all the paraphernalia which is ne cessary for carrying out thedexaercouution had been adjusted, the bolt was withdrawn, thew n h d en ar osse sound. t ro u z .

At 25 m i nutes past 8 o ,e o m k a \ : ern again app eare d upon the scaffold t u ropec ,nok with a fresh rope, and on facing the multitude be neath was greeted with a perfect storm of hisses. A few moments after the chaplain, followed by Atkinson, again mounted the scaffold. The latter stepped on the drop firm and collected, although a blood-red mark round the neck testified to the severity of the terrible tug which it had experienced by the breaking of the rope. Askern, who seemed determined that no new mishap should occur, spent a great deal of time in adjusting the new rope and pulling the noose tight, an operation which drew forth from the mob fresh hisses. Th e dying struggles of the unfortunate man were horrible, to to twihetnthiesscimaensds o t f he th y e la n s e t w ed r s o o p T . e mi and frig l h v t in fu g l nutes, o During the whole of this shocking spectacle the efforts of the police were almost entirely powerless to restrain the popular indignation.
