Fora brief interval , it seemed to me like the old days, here, iu London. The Royal banner fluttered from the flagstaff of Buckingham Palace. Her Idajesty, not by proxy, but in her own royal person, held a drawing-room in St. James's Palace. Her Majesty with some degree of slate ceremonial opened a public building in the metro- P °l44 . An April shower in May laid the dust upon the occasion, instead of the lumbering old water carts of the ceintnissionere, and therefore everybody, as a matter of course, said to everybody else (quite gravely), "blot Queen's W eather!" in homage to that traditional figment which for Years has implied that the clerk of the weather is t he most obsequious ceurtier in the land. Yellow gravel sprinkled up St. James's-street, the Horse Guards in attend ance, the mounted and unmounted police of Colonel Hen derson marshalling the way, parti-coloured bunting dis played here and there from the windows of Piccadilly, re called for one brief interval the time when her Majesty's lieges in the metropolis were in habit of repeatedly, and not, " "vs, very exceptionally, indeed, the Sovereign herself Passing to and fro in their midst. As it was, the Queen's gracious appearance the other afternoon to inaugurate the new and really noble home at last provided for itself by the Loudon University iu Burlington-gardens, was as rapid, I had al most said as fugitive, as well could be. With a curious Want of pre -arrangement as to whether the leading personages Were to be in full dress (full fig, as it is profanely called), or bl ordinary costume, there was, at least, the added charm of variety_ a Prime Minister in a great coat, an ex-Pre m i er i n the livery-like Windsor uniform, the Lord Chancellor and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, each in his glitter* gorg eous, golden robe of office. The Queen came, looked, listened to a loyal address, blandly intoned by the Colonial DSecretary' who was officially there as Chancellor o f th e . Di versity, the palatial house of which was being inangu rated, replied silently by handing a gracious answer back in ' L S-, by way of acknowledgment, p r o n o unce d th e b u ildi ng 48 opened in those silvery accents of most cl ar and most refine d articulation that we have all heard t oo se ld om h ere i n Lo ndon realised that her Majesty was there when - she was gone. t he Royal F am il y it was a b us y wee s altogether.

Hardly was this littl e c e l e b ra ti on over , with its courtly ceremonials, when the Heir Apparent pre alicled over .. th e Th eatr i ca l F un d di nner i n th e capacity of chair man.

BOW-STREET-SATURDAY. The further examination of the prisoners in this extraor dinary case was resumed this morning before Mr. Flowers The interest in the proceedings, instead of decreasing, seemed to be increasing, as the desire to obtain admission was very great. The Court was crowded to excess. The prisoners Boulton and Park, on being placed in the dock, seemed to be quite indifferent to the serious nature cf the charge that was being made against them. Mr. W. H. Roberts asked the magistrate that he might be allowed to say a word in explanation of the fact of his name being mentioned in the case. He was engaged in Lord Arthur Clinton's bankruptcy, and was at the Guild hall Tavern on the occasion by the purest accident. Mr. Flowers said it would be best, if explanation was required, to make it at the close of the case. He did not see anything that had been said to the prejudice of Mr. Roberts. The first witness examined was William Henry Martin—He said I carry on business at No. 7, Burlington Arcade, and about four years ago I was appointed to look after the affairs of the Arcade. The con, stables were under my control. I have seen the two defen dants in the Arcade dressed as women, walking up and down as common women: I can't say that I ever saw them speak to any one. I had them turned out of the place some time in 1869. They were dressed as women. I have seen them together in that costume several times in the Arcade. It was generally about three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived. I took them to be persons of loose character, hence my instructions to the constable to remove them. I had no idea from their manner or demeanour that they were men. I have never seen any persons in their company. I have also seen them dressed as men in the Arcade, and then they attracted my attention, as they were dressed so fast; their boots were like women's. It was Constable Smith that I ordered to turn the prisoners out of the Arcade. Cross-examined—l might have seen them a hundred times dressed as women. I only once saw them in men's clothes, and only once gave directions for their expulsion from the Arcade. I never had any complaints made to me with respect to Smith the beadle. If loose women mis conduct themselves they are turned out, but it is exceed ingly difficult to say now who is loose and who is not. ( Laughter). I can only make the distinction by observation. I serve everybody who comes into my shop. I never see loose women there. I never heard that Smith took money from these women, but I had since heard, since he left, to my disgust, that he had levied " . black mail" on the women of London who came there. I cannot say that I have seen them in the Arcade dressed as women since I gave the order to have them turned out in 1869. I can't say that I have seen Boulton in the Arcade between August, '69, and April, '7O. Their conduct when in the Arcade was most objectionable. Constable Holding, 58 0, said—l knew Boulton. I lave seen him in the Burlington Arcade, and I also saw Smith turn him out. Park was with him, but I don't recollect how they were dressed. The occurrence took place at the latter end of 1868. I have seen them there scores of times, but always in men's attire. Once, I think, I have seen them in women's clothes. A young man named Cumming used to accompany them. They walked in a pec e uliar manner, and I always believed them to be men. Cross-examined—People said they were women dressed as men. I never interfered with them ; I left that to George Smith. I have heard Smith forbid them the Arcade: No violence was used ; they walked out quietly ; I never saw any force used. Edward Nelson Haxell said—l am the landlord of the Royal Exeter Hotel, in the Strand. I know the two prisoners. My name and my house has been freely used in this matter, and I wish to make a statement. Mr. Flowers—You will have ample opportunity. Examination continued—l first saw Boulton at my hotel on the 7th of April. He was introduced by Mr. Westrop Gibbon; a very old customer of nine. He was staying at the hotel at tie time. Gibbons is a gentleman of indepen dent fortune. Boulton stayed at my hotel on that occasion, Mr. Gibbous remained there as well. Mr. Gibbons, I think, arrived at the hotel in the March previous to the time I have stated. He occupied a bedroom and sitting-room. Gibbons introduced Boulton to me as the best amateur actress off the boards. He engaged a room for Boulton, as he was his guest; he never was a customer of mine. I thi,k he occu pied a room on a different floor to that of Mr. Gibbons. When I first saw Boulton I was given to understand that he was specially invited from Edinburgh to attend a little musical party. Boulton and Gibbons left he hotel together, the latter paying the bill. Mr. Gibbons lives, when not at any hotel, at 13, Bruton-street, Berkeley-square, and I hare understood at Clapham. All I know about Bolton was that he lived at Edinburgh. While Boulton was at my house 1 saw him in female costume about four times. I have seen him leave the hotel in women's attire three or four times. He usually went out in a carriage about eight o'clock in the evening. Mr. Gibbons, Mr. Park, and a Mr. Somerville went out with him ; they made four of a party. Mr. Gibbons was also dressed as a lady; Somerville always as a gentleman ; Park sometimes as a lady, sometimes as a gentleman. Somerville used to come as a visitor to Mr. Gibbons as a friend, and always in male attire. Park, 1 think, has only stayed in my house one night. 1 think it was the night of the ball, but lam not positive. Park, when he went as a lady, always dressed at my house. l have not known Park above 2 months —he was introduced to me by Gibbons as an amateur actress. I know a Mr Thomas, and have done so for about two months. I have always believed him to be a gentleman of independent fortune, as he always came in his own carriage to my house. Mr Gibbons also introduced him to me. I have seen Thomas in female attire. I think he used to come all ready dressed as a woman in his own carriage. Thomas seldom came without dining with Mr Gib bins. I recollect the day of the boat rice. I don't recollect two persons coming to my house on the evening of that day. I don't know anything of the matter. 1 don't think Gibbons dined at my house on the day of the boat race. On the day after the boat race there was an evening party, with music, at my house ; I could not say it was a ball. I got up the programme. I don't call it a ball. It began about half-past nine, and closed about four' in the morning. Supper was served about 12 o'clock. Gibbons was dressed in women's clothes on the occasion ; so was Boulton, Park, Thomas, and Cumming. T hey all dressed in my house to the best of my belief. Thomas might have come already dressed as a lady in his brougham. There was another man, named Peel, dressed as a woman at the party. I don't know who Mr. Peel is. I only knew Peel by name from Mr. Gibbons. I was given to under stand that he belonged to the family of that name. There were seven men all dressed as women. The others . in female costume I believe were all ladies. Some of them same to sing. They wets not professionals ; they came as the invited guests of Mr. Gibbons. I know there was a slight disturbance ; it arose about more singing being required. Mr. Gibbons was disinclined to agree to it, and seeing it was becoming unpleasant, I suggeisted to Mr. Gibbons to wi , dup and clear out, which he did. I recollect Miss Cavendish being there ; she went away with her party. The company all left in the ordinary manner. I think all them:, dressed as ladies, with the exception of Mr Thomas and Mr Peel, slept at my house on the night of the ball. I know nothing of 13, Wakefield-street. I know the prisoners simply as the friends of Mr Gibbons Ellen Pincott had charge of the ladies' room on the night of the ball. By Mr Flowers —Mr Gibbons was a very young person— a mere boy. Thomas was about 23. Gibbons has resided at my house since the ball. He has never been away since. Thomas I have not seen since the ball. In cross-examination the witness said Gibbons told him he was coming up for a week's holiday, and he wished to gives small party with music by way of entertainment, and afterwards he decided to make a little dress affai ,so that some of, them might come in "a drag" (a slang term for ladies' dress). Whilst the entertainment was going on the observation was frequently made "How well they are acting." It appeared to him to be generally known that they were men at the bail in women's clothing. There was no concert. The steward at Berkeley Chambers, Bruton-street, proved that Park rented apartments of which he had charge, and that Gibbons also had had rooms in the same house. The sub-warder of the House of Detention said the prisoners since their arrival had to give their names and address. He also described the female clothes the prisoners had on when first brought to the House. Mrs. Dixon, the landlady of the house in Princes-street, Edinburgh, was examined—She stated that ()ruing the time oulton was in her house he always conducted himself with the greatest propriety. He was visited by a gentleman named Hurt, whom she knew was related to a person in high position. Mr. Fisk used to visit as well as Boniton; both were young men. She had seen some women's wearing apparel. Mr. Hurt was3the person responsible for the rent of the apartments. They were in fact his. During the time Boulton stayed at her house she did not know that he ever took part in any private theatricals. Mr. Boulton never gave any reason for Mr. Hurt paying the whole ex penses of the house. She identified two or three photo graphs submitted to her as those of Mr. Hurt. A number of letters having been put in, but net read, _ . . Mr. Poland said that substantially finished the case, upon which ho should ask the magistrate to commit the prisoners for trial. Mr Begley wished to know for what charge. Mr Poland—Firstly, on a general conopiracy to commit, DUNVILLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of whisky in the world. Their Old Irish Whisky is recommended by the medical profession in preference to French brandy. Sup plied in casks and cases for home use or exportation. Quotations on application to Messrs DUNVILLE St Co., Boyal Irish Dis tilleries, Belfast ; or at their London &does, 4, Beaufort Buildings, Strata, W.C. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAI , MAY J 3, 1870. dec. ; secondly, with conspiring with certain other personsto commit; thirdly,with conspiring to incite other persons; and also he should ask whether it was not possible to commit them for an offence against common decency and morality, for which they became amenable to tho common law. Mr. Besloy strongly contended that it was essential to give date, place, and person, in order to justify a com mittal. After seine discussion, Mr Flowers said he would well consider the whole of the facts bef ore coming to a final con clusion. The prisoners were then remanded for a week. SUPPRESSION OF LIST BETTING BY GOVERNMENT. The Government have determined to abolish the whole of the list betting at Epsom, and the Clerk of the Course and Messrs. Barnard and Langlands have already received notice not to let any part of the ground they hire from Mr. Briscow, the lord of the manor, for list betting. There will also be an attempt to put down the bag-men. LATEST INTELLIGENCE (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) FRANCE. PARIS, May 22. Several of the leading journals commend the moderation of the Emperor's speech. The diplomatic changes which ' have been announced are said to be uncertain. The France denies that the ap pointment of the Duke de Grammont to the Foreign office shows any inclination towards either Austria or Prussia. FIRES. Shortly after two o'clock on Saturday morning two fires, each attended with a serious destruction of property, broke out almost simultaneously, one in the premises belong to Mr. Allen, corn merchant, of Crown-street, Soho, but whose stores were situate, as well as the stable, in Little Denmark-street, on the north side of St. Giles's church. The discovery was made by police-constable Baker, No. 63, of the E division, wko raised an alarm, and with the assistance of John Lilley, the whole of the horses, several vehicles, and pieces of machinery and harness of several animals were saved. The fire could not be extinguished until the premises were burnt out. The s?cond fire took place in a range of buildings belonging to Mr. Pickford, an up holsterer, and- Mr. Smith, a wine merchant, 1, Chenies mews, West. The fire could not be subdued until the building was completely gutted, and Mr. Pickford was uninsured. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE CHANTILLY RACES. CHANTILLY, May 22. The following are the results of to-day's races : Prix de la Refine Blanche. Pean d'Ane Paresseuse Algarade Marlette La Traconne.., ote d'Or Prix du Gros-Cheme. 3 Prix des Ecuries. Duteh Skater Mlle. de St. Igny Marceau 3 THE FRENCH OAKS. Sornette 1 La Calonne La Risle Prix d'Apremont. Cerdagne Ouragon Sylla ANTICIPATIONS FOR BATH. The Bath meeting takes place on Tuesday and Wednes day. The bill of fare for both days is excellent, andthe two year old races are especially likely to help the meeting to success. Bell's Life says, of the seven races set for the first day one of the most interesting will be the Beaufort Cup. The ever victorious Fusee is amongst the number, and in all probability the chief struggle will be between Sabinus and this filly, and the first of this pair is almost certain to be victorious. Mr. Merry has Belladrum (Bst 121 b) and the Seamstress filly (6st 61b) engaged in the half mile Badminton Stakes ;• one of the two or Daylight, may prove the winner. Robespierre and Lady of Lyons should run well for the Lansdown Stakes. and Not Out reads like the winner of the County Members' Plate. Mac gregor takes a 31b allowance for the Eighteenth Biennial and if sent to the post must, in defiance of the Speculum and Ryshworth precedents, prove to be a " certainty." If Mr. Merry judiciously elects to keap him home, Gamos ought to be victorious. Danebnry shows a most formid able front for the Nineteenth Biennial. Our choice must be for Lcetitia and Mr. Graham's best. The Dyrham Park Handicap will probably be won by Not Out or one of Mr. Merry's lot, and for the Bath Handicap we fancy the chances of the Seamstress filly and Daylight. The field for the once highly popular Somersetshire Stakes does not promise to be at all large, and so far as present appearances go nothing seems capable of beating Threatener (6st) and Miss Sheppard (6st 71b). Any opinion relative to the result of the Weston Stakes must be reserved until Wednesday next, " Augur." in the Sporting Life, says : "As Mr. Merry has determined to run Macgregor for the Eighteenth Biennial, the meeting will not pass over without some excitement, and if the Derby favourite should run and get bowled over, we • shall not want for a fruitful topic of conversation until the descent of the flag on the Derby day. The Lansdown Stakes (Handicap, one mile) will be won by Robespierre or Lady of Lyons ; and the Badminton Stakes (half a mile) by Sophie or Seamstress filly. The County Members' Plate I shall award to Not Out or Barcelona. The Beaufort Cup will produce a very limited field. I shall look for the success of Fusee or Sabinus. Fifty-three subsCribers are down for the Eighteenth Bienial Stakes, for three year olds. Mr. Merry has only to run Macgregor in this company and he will win, but in the absence of the Derby crack I shall trust to Gamos of whom I have capital accounts. The Nineteenth Bien nial I shall assign to Steppe. The Somersetshire Stakes will be won by Threatener or Osprey, the Weston Stakes by Steppe, and the Juvenile Stakes by the colt by Scottish Chief out of Necklace. The Dyrham Park Stakes I shall award to the Seamstress filly or Mr. Brayley's best, and the Welter Stakes to Robespierre or Fitz-Ivan. The Bath Handicap reads well for Bonnie Katie and Dentelle. The prophet of the Sportsman says :—` • The Beaufort Cup does not promise to attract such an excellent field to the post as it has done in former years. I think the race will fall to Sabinus. The Badminston Stakes I shall award to the Seamstress filly or Daylight. In the Lane down Stakes and Lady of Lyons have the best chances. County Members' Plate I shall award to the Symmetry colt or Not Out. In the Eighteenth Biennial I have no hesitation plumping for Macgregor. The Field thinks the issue in the contest for the Beau fort Cup will lie with Sabinus, Cock of the Walk, Fuzee, and Free Trade, and that the best of these are Sabinus and Fuze e.

THE EMPEROR'S SPEECH ON THE PLEBISCITE. PARIS, May 21, The ceremony of the formal proclamation of the' Plebiscite took place at the Tuileries to-day. The Emperor delivered the following speech : "Gentlemen,—ln receiving from your hands the census of the votes given on the Bth of May, my first thought is to express my thanks to the nation, which, for the fourth time during twenty-two years, has given me a 'hiking token of its confidence. Universal suffrage, the elements of which are renewed without cessation, never theless preserves in its mobility a persevering will. It has for its guidance its tradition, the safety of its instincts, and the firmness of its sympathisers. " The plebiscite had for its sole object the ratification by the people of a constitutional reform, but amid the conflict of opinions, and in the excitement of the struggle, the discussion was carried beyond this. " Let us not regret this. The adversaries of our insti tution have raised the question between the revolution and the Empire. The country has solved it in favour of the system which guarantees order and liberty. " The Empire now finds itself strengthened upon its base. It will show its force by its moderation. "My Government will cause the laws to be executed without partiality, as well as without weakness. " It will not deviate from the liberal course which it has traced. " Respecting all right, it will protect all interests with out keeping in mind dissentient votes and hostile manoeuvres. But it will also know how to make re spected the national will which has been so energetically manifested, and will maintain it in itself, and also above all controversy. " Freed from the constitutional questions which divide the best minds, we must have but one object in view. To rally round the Constitution which has just been sanc tioned by the country, by the honest men of all parties, to insure public security, to calm party passions, to preserve the social interests from the contagion of false doctrines, to find by the aid of the highest intellects the means of increasing the greatness and prosperity of France, to dif fuse education, to simplify the administrative machinery, to carry activity from the centre where it superabounds to the extremities where it is wanting; to introduce into our codes of laws, which are monuments, the improve ments justified by experience ; -to multiply the general agencies of production and riches ; to promote agriculture and the development of public works ; and, finally, to consecrate our labour to this problem, always resolute and always seeking to find the best reparation of the burthens which press upon the tax payers. Stich is our programme. In realising it our nation, by the free expansion of its powers, will advance the progress of civilisation. " I thank you, gentlemen, for your presence on this solemn occasion, and weigh the affirmative votes, which ratified those of 1848, 1851, and 1852, also strengthen your powers, and give to you as to me new strength to work for the good of the country. "We must at the present time more than ever look fearlessly forward to the future. Who indeed could be opposed•to the progressive march of a dynasty founded by a great people in the midst of political disturbances, and which is fortified by liberty." THE MILITARY OUTBREAK IN LISBON. CORUNNA, May 20. The British squadron has left in a northerly direction, but it is believed that it will proceed to Lisbon. MADRID, May 20. In to-day's sitting of the Cortes the Minister of the Interior stated that a telegram had been received from Lisbon, according to which the Marquis de Soul 4, having refused to countersign the appointment of Marshal Sal danha, the latter had offered to resign, but the King had declined to accept his resignation, assuring him of his full confidence. The telegram further stated that the portfolio of the Ministry of the Interior has been offered to the Bishop of Oizen, whose reply was expected the same evening. The majority of the Portuguese Cortes assembled yes terday. An immediate dissolution was expected. The troops were still under arms, but the utmost tran quillity prevailed in Lisbon and in the provinces. LISBGN, May 20. The Duke of Saldanha is engaged in forming a ministry. He has called the Bishop of Vizen. The Cortes has been closed by the orders of the duke, and it is believed will be dissolved. Telegrams have been received from the principal places in the provinces declaring their adherence to the Duke of Saldanha. The country is quiet. LISBON, May 20 (Evening). The new Ministry is not yet complete. The Duke of Saldanha retains the Presidency of the Council and the Ministry of War. Count Peniche is Minister for Public Works and also for Interior ad interim. General tranquillity prevails. SPAIN. MADRID, May 20. It is announced that a telegram has been received from Logrono stating that Marshal Espartero gave a most cordial reception to the deputation of members of the Es partero party in the,Cortes, and that in replying to their request, he concluded by expressing his willingness to sacrifice himself for his country. The deputation, the rumour proceeds to state, would return to Madrid to-morrow. Notwithstanding this mes sage, the general belief is that the Espartero candidature will fall to the grouncl. The last of the despatches is from Signor della Minerva, the Italian Envoy in Athens, dated the stb of this month. It says that the Greek Government committed a fault by not having apprised the public and the foreign legation of the existence of the band of brigands, and of the dangers to which the tourists were likely to be exposed on that excursion. Signor della Minerva confirms the news that the French Government has addressed an energetic note to the Greek Government, making the latter responsible for any ransom fOr French subjects who might be captured by brigands through neglect of the local authorities. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, May 20. It is asserted that the Persian Envoy will lodge a pro test with the Porte against recent violations of the Persian frontier committed by Midhat Pasha, the Turkish com mander of the frontier forces. ITALY. FLORENCE, May 20, Evening. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the esti mates of the Ministry of Public Works were agreed to. Count Arrivabene, speaking of the port of Brindisi, pointed out the excellent results experienced in the through transit of the mails to India, and its advantages over other routes. He urged the Ministry to improve the condition of that port. The Minister of Public Works replied that improve. meats for the through transit were being actively car• ried on. A new series of documents on the tragedy at Marathon has been distributed in the Chamber of Deputies. They comprise a report of the Greek Colonel Theagenis, in which he declares that if the body of troops which had arrived from Chalcis had fulfilled its purpose, the opera tions against the brigands would have had a different result. Another document states that the captured brigands confess that their leaders insisted upon the amnesty owing to counsels from persons in high position at Chalcis. (CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAMS.)

Yesterday morning a most determined suicide was committed by a ship carpenter named Alexander Mac kenzie, 44 years of age, residing at 34, Amity-street, Liverpool. He was of intemperate habits, and, having been out of employment, was much depressed. He drove a nail into the wall in the back yard about three months ago, and said he would hang himself on it. About one o'clock in the morning he went out to the back yard and hung himself from the nail, swinging himself off from the steps by which the descent into the yard is effected. Becoming frightened, a child went out after some time, and, on opening the back door, knocked against th• body. An alarm was at once made, and Dr. Pierce, who attended the schoolmistress who had attempted suicide in the same locality a few days ago, was sent for; but all his efforts to restore animation failed. The man leaves a family of six children. At six o'clock this morning his wife left the house, and has not since been heard of. THE LATE TRADE OUTRAGE AT - MANCHESTER. A man named Malachi Ryan was apprehended at Bol ton on Friday on suspicion of being concerned in causing the incendiary fire at the timber-yard of Mr. Johnson, builder, of Ancoats, on Saturday evening, April 30th—the same night on which an attempt was made to blow up Mr. Johnson's house. The prisoner, who is described as a chair maker, is a man apparently of about fifty years of age, of slender build, and features deeply marked and furrowed. A sergeant of the Rochdale borough police stated that, acting on information received, he apprehended the prisoner in Bolton on Friday afternoon, and in the police station there charged him with the offence. The prisoner said nothing then. While being conveyed in the train from Bolton to Manchester the prisoner said, "I have told nobody but George Hopkins of Rochdale." The prisoner had been drinking, but was not far gone in drink. Prisoner (interrupting)—l was so drunk I don't remem ber leaving Bolton at all. When I woke up this morn ing I could not believe that I was in Manchester. George Hopkins, the informer in the case, said he was by trade a chairmaker, like the prisoner, but he now kept the Beaver Inn beer-house at Rochdale. He had knowu the prisoner for 20 years. On Thursday last he acciden tally met him at Bolton. He was then quite sober, and told witness that he had just come from Manchester. The two men had several glasses of ale together, and after spending nearly two hours drinking, the prisoner becoming confidential said, "George, I want to say summat to you.' Soon afterwards he asked, "Do you recollect that fire at Johnson's timber yard ?" Witness answered that he did. " Well, then," the prisoner went on to say, " I did it." Witness was astonished, and replied, " Well, if you have done it you have no business to tell me, nor nobody else." To which the prisoner rejoined, " Ay, lad, but thee'll never split." Witness saying, " I'll bid thee good bye," put a half-crown into the prisoner's hand, and went away. He had given him three shillings previously to that. Yesterday witness wont to Bolton again. He found the prisoner in a beerhouse asleep from the effects of drinking. A man named Higgins was with him. The prisoner was awakened, and the three men joined in a glass of ale. The witness afterwards asked the prisoner to accompany him for a walk, and the prisoner replied, " I will go with thee if I shall not shame thee." Higgins also went with them. Witness, however, managed to take the prisoner aside, and then asked him, "Do you know what you said to me last night ?" Prisoner answered, " Yes, thou'lt never split. My life o' in thy hands." Witness rejoined, "Then thou ought not to ha' told me," and asked how he did it. The prisoner said " Thou wantest to know the whole now. Well, I got by the backway over the wall ; and I thought I had broke my leg, when I leet into th' yard ; but I come round in a moment or two. I had a bottle of naphtha, and I sprinkled it on some boards, and made a train of gunpowder and steel filings. I got £l4 for the job. I received it in two sums df £7 each. A few of the brickmakers gave me a pound each, and made it up to £2O. Witness asked him if he knew anything about the house, meaning Mr. Johnson's house, Levenshulme. Witness said "Yes," but that moment the man Higgins came forward and interrupted the conversation. Witness afterwards left the prisoner in a beerhouse, and gave him and Higgins 6d. to have a quart of ale. He then returnedto Rochdale, and had not since seen the prisoner until he appeared in the dock that day. The prisoner, on being invited to cross-examine the wit ness, said—" I have nothing to ask him ; but it is a parcel of lies altogether. I was drunk, and I was only— The stipendiary magistrate here interrupted and c au tioned the prisoner against making any statement. A remand for a week was then granted. In the Oxford University summer eight-oar races, con tinued on Saturday, St. John's failed to get near the University head boat. There was a fine race between Balliol and Brasenose, but the latter got home unscattered. Pembroke bumped Worcester, Queen's bumped Merton, and New College bumped St. Edmund's Hall. The races will be resumed on Monday evening, and continued each evening until Friday.. An aggr egate meeting of the Jewish congregations in Manchester was held on Saturday, at which petitions to Parliament were adopted in favour of the abolition of University Tests. Dr. Gottheil, who moved the resolu-. tion, regarded the Solicitor-General's bill as a proof of departure from the old anti-Jewish feeling which was wont to characterise legislation, 4eligious clOgroatic tests in the sense in which the Thirty-ninii Articles were put before candidates for the highest honours were unknown in Judaism, and every attempt to in fluence the. teachings of Judaism within the bounds of a certain set of dogmas had at all times met with a great opposition, and it had never been necessary to put any such tests to any candidates for any of the highest offices which Jewish congregations or Com munities could bestow. The petition stated that within the last few years perions prOfeesing the Jewish religion had respectively retained the rank of senior . second and fifth wrangler, who had all been deprived a the chances of obtaining fellowships on eccetw e t of conscientious ob potions to signing the articles, MONETARY REPORTS-SATURDAY.
