Whether on Geological and other Scientific questions or Biblical Criticism, or on the subjects assailed by the stump and revolutionary oratory of the mere atheistical and blAspheming demagogue, and by which many of the humbler classes are so much misled, and that the Colensos, Iconoclasts, and other enemies without, or heretics claiming a position within the Church, will be met with direct and vigorous refutation. We are promised a special set of strictly Scientific Articles on Geology, Natural History and Astronomy, &c., in refutation of scientific error in connection with Theology, and also on questions raised by Dr. Coleuso and others, which have not yet received competent answer. At the same time all candid opponents, misled by false teaching, but sincerely inquiring after truth, will be treated with forbearance and respect, and willingly aided in their search.

A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANCES AT MILAN, FLORENCE, NAPLES, POMPEII, AND VENICE. BY WILLIAM EVILL. STANFORD, Charing Cross. Price 4s. ed. " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of 'A Winter Jousney to Rome.' His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, shewing much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketchy, it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council, which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."— Daily Telegraph. " Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited the spots described by Mr. Evill, are scarcely likely to add much to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches ; yet we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To gain knowledge is not the only object which induces a man or woman to take ap a new volume ; and if Mr. Evill does not add distinctly to our stock, he has the art—a rare one—of placing familiar scenes in a fresh and agreeable light. . . . . The book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall Gazette. " Having read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evil's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, any more than we could spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, he has acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun. " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the picturesque, and describes what he saw in forcible and some times eloquent language. .. . Notwithstanding his well worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News. " There is no pretension whatever about the book of travels, and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing that is uninteresting, vapid, or dull. To the truthfulness of its descriptions of places and works of art we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy."—Bell's Weekly Messenger. " Sir. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable him to witness the great gathering of prelates in attendance at the opening of the CEcumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record. - -------- " In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker might extend into the compass of two goodly volumes. . . . . In the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. " The ground was all new to Mr. Evill, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . . . . Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, Ur see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican Council. His description of it is very graphic"—Western Morning News. " Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, Inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowinl; terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery described, and be grateful to Mr. Evil for his pleasant recollec tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News. "Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English women whom necessity keeps at home year after year . . . The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heartily wish it every success, and think that many untravelled Englishmen will find something to interest them in Mr. Evill's " Winter Journey to Rome."—The Examiner. "This little volume, containing, together with careful descrip tions of places and cities, an account of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council, it is worthy of notice, is dedicated, not in irony or without permission, but in friendship and with full authority, by a Protestant to a Roman Catholic. There may be many worse preparations for a visit to the city which still is queenlike, if no longer queen, than a perusal of this unpreten tious, but instructive volume ; and the author's remarks touching that Church, the services and worship of which serve to make up the emtire life of modern Rome may grieve, but will not affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command the assent, but will not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant." — Illustrated London News.

The plan adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and faithful addresses have been given. During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis. The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones.

I base my candidature broadly on my known participation in the political progresses of the last twenty years, of which the Elementary Education Bill of 1870 is the most important. Trusting to be favoured with your support on the day of election, I remain, Gentlemen, Yours, faithfully, BLANCIIAED JIIR.ROID. Reform Club, Oot. 17th 1870. G REAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN DIAMOND FIELDS, We subjoin an extract from the circular of Messrs. S. W. Silver and Co., relating to the South African diamond fields :—Bloemfontein, September 20. Our correspondent (a digger for two months and a half) states that the Pniel Mission Ground is at present judged to be the richest locality —there are at least 1,200 men at work. £lOO,OOO worth of gems obtained within five months. His party has been as lucky as any; but I cannot tell you the particulars, as we are bound to keep all details private. He observes : " 1. he work of diamond - diggi n g is no child's play. During the whole time, except Sundays, I have not had a coat on or my shirt-sleeves not rolled up—up every morning at dawn, and to work with pick and shovel, except breakfast half an hour, dinner an hour, incessant hard work in a broiling sun until near dark, then home to camp." He is convinced that diamond-digging does not pay, and strongly advises those who have permanent employment, however small the remuneration, to stick toit. " About 5 percent. make a good deal of money, and probably another 5 pay expenses. " He adds:—" If, however, you have no fixed employment and sufficient to pay your passage to the Colony, and buy tools and provisions for twelve months, and, if :unsuccessful, money to take you back, by all means come." Another correspondent of Pieter maritzburg (September 23) states : A new diamond. mine has been found on a Dutchman's farm at Jagersfon tein. Only about 50 men are allowed to work there yet. They have found 63 diamonds, 22 within the last few days ; the largest, 22i carats, a perfect gem. A party has just come in from the diamond fields in eleven days. The cost by omnibus is 216, and by waggon, with 3 cwt. luggage,. £6. A direct communication with Na tal, ria Suez Canal, discussed, and a premium suggested as an inducement to the owners of the first steamer by this route with fifty passengers. The discovery of four large diamonds reported ; one over 19 carats, by Mr. Dicken ; one 26i carats, valued at £2,500 to £2,000, by Webster's party ; the others 54 to 56 carats respectively, by De Kock's and Park's parties the last, a gem perfect in shape and of the first water, is valued at over £B,OOO. Mr. Hadd had in his possession on the fields 200 diamonds, the largest weighing 4i carats, for which he paid £7OO. The aggregate number of persons on the fields is estimated at over 5,000. Buildings of a permanent character are being run up; stores are abundant, and provisions plentiful and moderate in price. The Rappel, ultra Paris paper, speaks well of the Ger man prisoners in Paris. They are clean, and well clad. " All these Germans, it must be confessed, have good countenances—very mild, simple, very intelligent. Three out of four have flaxen hair, which becomes them well. They are well-made, stout, strong men, inured to fatigue, and energetic—men who can read, write, and cipher, and who at times recite the poetry of Goethe to amuse them selves." • THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—The Prince and Princess of Wales, with their children, at tended by General Sir William Knollys, Major Grey, and the Hon. Mrs. Grey, Arrived at Sandringham on Thurs day evening from London, having travelled in a special train on the Great Eastern Railway. The special reached Cambridge at about five o'clock, and here a stay of nearly a quarter of an hour took place, during which some refreshment was supplied to the Princess of Wales. King's Lynn was reached at about a quarter past six, and after staying three minutes to change engines, a further run of nine minutes brought the special train to Wolferton, where the royal private carriages were in waiting, and the new Sandringham House was reached at about a quarter to seven. Their royal highnesses have during the last three years spent but a small portion of time at Sandringham. The year bafore last the prince and princess were in Egypt, and last yew, owing to the rebuilding of the hall and the necessarily limited nature of the accommodation afforded, they remained but a brief period during the shooting season. Now, however, Sandringham has been perfectly transformed. The house, without being of the character of a palace, is suited in every way to the station and requirements of its royal owner. The grounds have been laid out with exquisite taste, and the scene from the windows of the mansion is most charming. It is expected that now the hall approaches completion, Sandringham will be made available as a summer residence as well as for the shooting season., SUPPOSED MURDER, AN D SUICIDE OF TH 1. ALLEGED MURDERER. On Thursday Mr. Payne held an investigation, at the St. John's Vestry Hall, Horsleydown, repecting the death of Mrs. Mary Ann Williams, aged 50, who was found drowned in the Thames under circumstances of a very suspicious character. The proceedings created great interest in consequence of a lodger of the deceased, named James Budge, having, after he had been charged with the murder of his landlady written letters declaring that he would commit suicide, and the police now state that they believe the wretched man has carried out his intention.--John Bowles, a waterman, living at 20, St. Mary's Buildings, Church-street, Rother hithe, proved that at two o'clock last Monday afternoon he found the body of the deceased in the Thames, near a steamboat, off Horselydown. The body was fully dressed. Mr. W. C. Chamberlain, a draper, carrying on business at Croydon, identified the body as being that of his mother, a widow. Witness was her son by her first husband. He last saw her alive on Sunday, the 30th of October, at her house in Ellis- street, Chelsea, where she carried on business as a tobacconist. She had three lodgers in the house, and one of them was Mr. James Budge, a man who was separated from his wife. The neighbours of the deceased stated that on Monday, the 31st of October, the deceased left her home after shutting up her shop, and she was never after seen alive. On the Wednesday following witness called at the house, and to his surprise he saw Mr. James Budge coming out of the apartments of the deceased, and he asked him what brought him there, and he in reply made a very rambling statement. He said that on the previous Monday afternoon he was sitting at toa with the deceased and she said to him, " Well, Jim, what do you say to going to the play to-night?" and he replied that he did not care much for the play on Mondays or Tuesdays, for theatres were on those nights generally crowded, but if she wished to go to the play he would meet ber at the Westminster bridge Station of the Metropolitan Railway. She then left home and he followed her, and met her at the rail way. They then agreed to walk over the bridge to the Victoria Theatre, and while they were going over she said to him, " What do you say to a jump in ?" and he made no reply, and they went on to the Victoria Theatre, where they saw the performance. Witness, sus pecting that Mr. Rudge had never been at the theatre, cross-questioned him, and asked him the name of the play, the dress of the performers, and for a descrip tion of the scenery. Mr. Budge was unable to give the required information, and be said, "The real fact is, I took no interest in the play, I only went there to please her." Witness then asked him what had become of the deeeased after she went into the theatre, and he replied " I left the theatre, and upon attempting to return, found that I had forgotten to take a check, and I did not think the play worth while paying for again. After waiting outside the theatre for some time I went home to Chelsea. I never saw her afterwards." Mrs. Mary Smith, a lodger in the deceased's house, produced two letters, both of which were in Mr. Rudge's handwriting. One was written to herself, and was as follows : " Dear Mrs. Smith,—This is to wish you farewell. I cannot stand what others say about me. lam the dupe of others. Against you receive this letter I shall be no more. Mrs. Williams is the cause of this. My head is so bad.—l am "JAMES RUDGE." In reply to the Coroner, witness said that many people in the neighbourhood has charged Mr. Budge with mur dering the deceased. The second letter produced was written by Mr. Budge to his aunt, and in it he said— " Dear Aunt,—l hope these few lines will find you better. Come and look to my things. I havebeen abused most shamefully. lam innocent of the crime.—l am, dear aunt, yours, " JAMES BUDGE." Police-constable Thomas Wake, 45 B, Chelsea division, said he believed that the police had received information that Mr. Budge had at eleven o'clock last Wednesday night been seen by Charles Cavannah, of 33, Auckland street, Vauxhall-gardens, to leap from the parapet of Westminster Bridge into the Thames. His body has not yet been recovered. The Court was then adjourned. LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND THE STAGE, The electric telegraph has been put to a new use in in Canada'. At Mimouski, when the late earthquake came upon them, the telegraph clerks sent at once to Quebec, a distance of 200 miles, to ask, " How do you feel?" While the operator there was at his work the shock arrived. He at once sent to Montreal, about 200 miles further on, to ask if they had felt it. They had just time to say "No " before the shock of the earthquake was felt. It was recently determined to erect a statue to Professor Morse, the eminent American electrician and inventor of the telegraph which bears his name, and for this purpose subscriptions were opened in the States. The full amount has been very speedily subscribed, and the erec tion of a marble statue is to be at once proceeded with. It is to stand in the Central Park, New York, a suitable position having been willingly granted by the Commis sioners. Nature says :—" Since our last issue the Joint Committee of the Royal and Royal Astronomical Societies and the Council of the British Association have met to consider the question of the Eclipse Expedition, and in consequence of these meetings Mr. Gladstone has been asked to receive a joint deputation to urge upon the Government the im portance of the proposed expedition. The Joint Com mittee have appointed the presidents of the Royal and Royal Astronomical Societies, the Astronomer Royal, and Mr. Lockyer to plead its cause ; while the Council of the British Association will be represented by the Presi dent and officers of the Association, Sir John Lubbock, M.P., and Dr. Lyon Playfair, M.P. No time had been fixed for the deputation to wait upon the Prime Minister. It is thought that Professor Wyville Thomson's appointment to the Professorship of Natural History at Edinburgh will be taken advantage of by the Government to abolish one of the Queen's College Professorships in Ireland. Nature announces that Dr. Hirst feels called upon by the pressure of his new duties to resign the General Secretaryship of the British Association. - • There is a possibility, according to the Liverpool Courier, that the arrangement for a special reserved telegraph wire between Liverpool and London may come into play almost immediately. - - - - The medals in the gift of the Royal Society have this year been awarded as follows :—The Copley medal to Dr. Joule; the Rumford medal to M. Descloiseaux ; and the Royal medals to Professor W. H. Miller and Mr. W. Davidson. ACROSS THE ATLANTIC. The Ininan Company's fine mail steamer the City of Brussels has made another remarkable passage across the Atlantic, having left New York on Saturday, the 29th ult., and arrived in the Mer sey at midnight on Monday. A. Dublin correspondent states that the movement in Irelind for the holding of meetings in favour of the , Pope is growing. An effort will be made to pledge mem bers of Parliament to press the Government to interfere to some extent on behalf of the Pontiff. The students of the Glasgow University, to the number of about 600, had a torchlight procession on Wed nesday night from the Old College to the new buildings at Gilmore-hill. The spectacle was as novel as it was inte resting. Unhappily, the Glasgow roughs marred the success of the demonstration. THE EDUCATION ACT IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—The polling at the parish of Soham, in Cambridgeshire, on the question as to whether there should be rate-supported schools and a School Board in that parish, terminated on Thursday in a majority for the opponents of School Boards. At Lyons energetic measures are being taken to resist attack. The inhabitants are ordered by the Prefect to lay in a three months' store of preservable provisions. The road are being cut and barricaded in the environs. Tremendlus rains have fallen, which have greatly swelled the Rhone and Saone. The Saone has submerged a great part of the country, and is likely to impede the Prussian advance, INCREASE OF VAGRANCY.—In the agricultural parts of Yorkshire vagrancy has so much increased of late that special efforts have been determined upon to repress it. The Malton Board of Guardians have issued a handbill, stating their belief to be that begging and vagrancy. are on the increase in the union, and that indiscriminate alms-giving is the cause of the evil. The public are called upon to abstain from giving to beggars and vagrants of whom they know nothing, but to hand them over to the police or parish constable to be dealt with. A young man named Hendrick has been com mitted for trial by the magistrates of Carlow for sending a threatening letter to Mr. Williams, of New Garden, near Carlow, to intimidate him from putting into force a decree for the possession of a cottage held by Hend rick's brother. Some documents were found in his possession which were sworn to be in the same hand writing as the threatening letter, and upon this evidence he was committed. THE FENIAN PRISONERS.—The Cork Exanuner contains a long letter, addressed on the 7th inst. by Mr. Maguire, M.P., to "My dear Mr. Gladstone," urging the release of the Irish political prisoners. The letter in substance urges the right hon. gentleman to allow himself "to act on the influence of his own gene rous nature," and to "throw wide the prison doors of these men, and say—' In God's name go free, and let the past be past.' " Mr. Maguire points out that the municipal corporations, which are tho roughly representative of the whole country, unanimously request the release ; that the feeling of tolerance for Fenianism widespread, mainly in con sequence of the apparent insensibility and actual neglect of the last Government and Parliament. The law, he adds, has been fully vindicated, and tranquillity reigns throughout the country; and, even were there any appre hensions of danger, the Government possess ample powers for the maintenance of public order. He trusts Mr. Gladstone will by his own action anticipate any more general movement in favour of the release. Good accounts continue to be received froir. the larg batches of emigrants who have been sent to Canada during, the last two years. They have, without difficulty, obtained employment at good wages, and it is more than probable the next season will witness a larger influx than ever. The opening up of the lied River territory, now happily rid of Riel and his IJ:int will increase the demand for labour in Canada. Mr. Dixon, the emigration agent for Canada, has been in the colony for several months past, arranging his plans for the ensuing sprolg. Population is the only tiling which the Dominion wants to make it a great and wealthy nation, and, of course, the more its population is increased, the greater would be its power to hold its own as an independet t State. The fac tors of the Hudson's Bay - Company have not yet settled their differences with the official repre sentatives of the company. It w ill be remem bered that they, or come of their number, set up a cicim to a share of the purchase-money paid by Canada. A correspondent informs us that they recently held a meeting on the subject at one of the forts, but that the result of their deliberations was unknown. It'would be better for all parties if this controversy were amicably as well as equitably settled. There is no worthier, as there is not a more hardy set of men on the earth's surface, than the factors and traders of the Hudson's Bay Company. The correspondent of the Scotsman writes, I am informed on good authority that although the number of those in Canada who are favourable to annexation to the United States is extremely small, yet that there is a large end growing party in the Dominion which desires indepen dence. From what I hear, it would not surprise me if, before long, politicians of this class were to put forward their views more openly than they have yet done. On the other hand, the well-known loyalty of the Scotch population of Ontario will doubtless induce caution on the part of these gentlemen and their sympathisers. Hitherto, it has always been an argument with the loyalists that annexation and independence were synony mous terms. For years past the whole subject has been privately discussed between leading citizens of the two countries, but with rare exceptions the Canadians have always ended by avowing their strong preference for the British connection. FOREIGNERS 1N CHINA, The Manchester Examiner publishes the following ex tract from a letter just received from the Rev. John Chalmers, of the London Missionary Society, whose long experience of the Chinese and his intimate knowledge of their history make him well qualified to speak on the present position of affairs in China :—" Canton, Sep tember 16. The China question seems hardly to receive a thought in Europe just now, but the longer it is delayed the more serious it will become. I dare say you sometimes feel a little uneasy about the safety of your friends in this barbarous place. We ara not afraid, however, in the meantime. Canton is far re moved from the centre of the present hostile movement, and has had enough of foreign fighting ; but there is every appearance of a complete clearing out of all foreigners from the north of China before they are frozen in for another winter. Indeed, report says they have already got notice from the Government to leave because they cannot be protected ; and it is known that the American mis sionaries at Tangchow have sent an urgent request to their consul to be safely removed from their station by gunboat or otherwise. My own impression is that the Chinese have in view the overthrow of the Tartar dynasty, as well as the expulsion of Europeans, and that for the accomplishment of this double object they—i.e., the leaders of this project—are prepared to drive the whole country into a state of anarchy and utter misery. They know that China cannot do anything against a European Power; but if there is no recognised Government in the country at all, of course we must be driven away by the lawless mob, and kept at bay by any new Government that may arise, till new treaties are demanded and ob tained with more or less of force. I fancy the patriotic literati of China would be prepared to sacrifice everything for the hope of restoring their country to its old state of isolation. This is what they want—neither more nor less. It is not the missionaries, but all foreigners, be they ministers, missionaries, or merchants, that they want to get rid of." NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. Scarlet fever has appeared among the troops quartered in the Citadel at Plymouth, also at Tregantle Fort and No. 4 Redoubt, in the same neighbourhood. - The War-office authorities have given orders for the trial at Chatham of a self-propelling torpedo, the inven tion of Mr. George Quick, of Portsea, Portsmouth. This torpedo is described as being designed for deep-sea fighting under all conditions of weather. The ono now constructing for trial will carry a bursting charge of 7001 b. weight of gunpowder, is 2ft. in diameter, and is to travel a distance of 2,000 yarns, at any depth below the surface of the water not exceeding 20ft., in 30 seconds. When the General Depot Battalion is broken up at Chatham—and nearly all the depots forming it have received orders to join various regiments—it is expected that the Ist battalion of the 15th Regiment will be sta tioned there on its arrival home from Bermuda. The depot of the battalion is now at Chatham. By order of the Secretary of State for War, the issue of the Snider rifles to the 170,000 men constituting the volunteer force of the country has at last commenced, some thousands of the new weapons being now in the hands of the corps first entitled by reason of their high percentage of efficiency to receive. Mr. Childers arrived at Portsmouth on Thursday from London, and paid a visit to the Dockyard. The right hon. gentleman will proceed to Portland in the Enchantress. The body of Lieutenant Nugent, who was drowned along with Captain Hatchell in Cork harbour more than 28 days ago, was found on Thursday morning within a few hundred yards of that of his companion. The features could not be recognised, and it was identified by the clothes. _ man-of-war steamers are at present in the Tyne. One of them is named the Medusa, and the name of the other has not yet been ascertained. A scheme of pay, arranged on an entirely original basis, is to be applied to the junior clerks in the Admiralty. Already this scale has been approved for the War Office, and, the Civilian says, in a short time it. will come into operation in the Admiralty. The new rule originated with Lord Camperdown, and is as follows :—For the first three years of service, £lOO per annum ; in the fourth year, £l5O ; and thence by annual increments of 1:15 to a maximum of £4OO. Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Kellett was at Chefoo by the last accounts with a large squadron of o rrunboats. The Chinese communities both at Peking and Shanghai, except those holding positions under British rule, were behaving themselves to foreigners in any way but a re spectful one. Among the passengers by the Norseman, from the Cape, were Captain Watson, 11th Regiment, the Hon. Mr. Dawnay, Captain Rolleston (the discoverer of the diamond fields), and Deputy-Assistant-Commisiary- General Granville. The Thalia corvette, which is to convey Captain J. E. Commerell, V.C., late in command of Her Majesty's ship Monarch, to the command of the new station lie has been intrusted with, and where lie will hoist the broad pendant as Commodore of the Ships and Naval Establish ments of the Cape of Good Hope and West Coast of Africa, left Sheerness on Wednesday with orders to call in at Portsmouth and Plymouth. BATH AND WELLS DIOCESAN CONFERENCE.— The second tripartite conference of the clergy and laity of Bath and Wells was held on Thursday at Bath, the Bishop in the chair. There was a large attendance. Resolutions were passed urging the Church to put forth all her strength to perfect parochial schools throughout the diocese, and the immediate raising of £lO,OOO to assist in building, enlarging, and improving church schools in the diocese. A Gna, SHOT.—A girl, named Mary Rowlands, aged 16 years, was shot yesterday morning by a sailor, named William Powell. at Penyfrith, in Wales. It ap pears that the girl, who was a servant, obtained a week's holiday from her master, and going home to her father, met with Powell, her sweetheart , who had ju s t returned from a voyage. Being at the house of the father of the girl, Powell saw a gun on a box, and, not perceiving that it was capped, took it up, when it exploded, and blew off the left cheek of the girl, killing her on the spot. On seeing the result of his carelessness, Powell rushed out of the use, calling " Murder," and screaming that he had murdered the girl. He was then taken into custody. The recovery in pressure which had commenced at Valencia has continued slowly ; but a further decrease of p. 15 inch has occurred at Heider. In the meantim e a fresh fall has taken place in the north of Scotland, and along the Welsh coast. Temperature has fallen slightly at Thurso and Wick, and the fall noticed in the south h as c ontinued in the Straits of Dover and at Penzance. On our west coasts, however, there has been a t en d ency to rise. The wind increased to a gale from the northward in the Irish Sea on Thursday night, and became fresh to strong from the same quarter on our coas t s genera ll y. Conditions are very little changed since then, except that on our east coast the wind has mod era t e d. S qi , a ll s o f sn ow and hail have been very prevalent, except in the so uth of England, and thunder and lightning have occurred at Thurso, lightning at Roche's Point. The weather continues very unsettled. The sea is rough except off the south coast—very high at Thurso. Warnings have been repeated to the north and east coasts.
