Orders by Post punctually attended to. LONDON, MONDAY, OCT. 14, 1867. A successful public meeting has been held at Dover by the Working Men's Constitutional Asso ciation. Sir B. BRIDGE, in the course of some ob servations, alluded to the different position which the working men now occupied from that they held in the days of our forefathers. The Constitution of England, as he truly declared, is not one that at all sanctions the exclusive maintenance of classes, for many peers of the realm have risen from the lowest positions. It is certainly an en couraging sign of the times that in so many directions there should be endeavours made to improve the social condition of the working classes, and that more and more it should be dis tinctly understood that they occupy an important place in the country, and one that cannot be taken from them without injury to the nation. A great gain may be effected by these meetings, because the variouse classes meet together, and have an oppor tunity of becoming better acquainted, thus doing away, in a great measure, with that antagonism, direct or implied, which does so much harm. Mr. FRESIIFIELD alluded to two predictions that he had made, one that Lord PALMERSTON could not again meet Parliament as Prime Minister, and the other that a measure of Reform would be brought forward, both of which were realised. After giving his reasons against the Bill of 1866, on account of its objectionable pro posals, he added that Mr. BRIGHT'S proposals were deservedly regarded with suspicion. lle does not hide his light under a bushel, but blows his triumpet with a loud blast, so that when he advocated passing a measure of Reform, stage by stage, it became very unsafe to follow him, and it was difficult to see where the terminus was to his political line of railway, and " I believe it might be the path to democracy and demoralisation, lead ing on and through paths where I should not care to follow, and possibly to such a Government as that possessed by the United States, headed by a President." Referring to the schemes of this session, the hon. member spoke out very fairly, and frankly admitted that he thought at one time they might be following Mr. DISRAELI rather too closely; but that, as the bill progressed, his fears and scruples vanished away, and his doubt ful ideas merged into " admiration at the great skill and consummate statesmanship and tact exhibited by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who laid down a line of action, which he pursued with un deviating perseverance, wonderful command of temper, and unfailing readiness both of tact and argument." Rising statesmen mly certainly learn a useful lesson from the various 'comments made during this recess by those best calculated to know the state of affairs, and that in a line that is often neglected—self-command and perseverance. Last year we heard of little else but the direful mistakes which Mr. GLADSTONE had made, and now, on all sides, there are praises of the wonderful skill dis played by Mr. DISRAELI in the management of the House. The most efficient qualities as a statesman, and the most brilliant qualities as an orator, will not compensate for the want of tact and discretion, and the sooner this important truth is realised the better for those who wish to succeed in public life. Mr. MONCREIFF has been addressing his consti tuents at considerable length, and given them an insight into public affairs, straightforward on the whole, and rather more liberal than his party can generally continue to be. He spoke very fairly concerning the task achieved by his political oppo nents, and expressed a hope that the reception given to the Chancellor of the Exchequer by the city of Edinburgh would be worthy of her reputa tion ; because whatever " we may think in regard to political opinion, it is right that a public man in a great position which ho has filled with great ability should be re ceived with honour by the citizens of such a city." After admitting this much, Mr. MoNcREIFF went on to show that, iu his opinion, the measure of Reform passed this year had not been effected with out serious cost, on account of the dangers it had brought about in the Conservative party. He seemed to think that it indicated a "want of the finer sense of the true political principle" that the Conserva tives should have opposed Mr. GLADSTONE'S mea sure in 1866, and should then have introduced a measure of reform themselves. There is no foundation for this idea in reality, because the Liberals had had time enough, in all conscience, to do the work themselves ; and, in respect to the in consistency of opposing the scheme of the year be fore, it is well known that those who proposed it did not seem at all sure of how it would work them selves. There is much of the old leaven of party prejudice in the judgment passed upon the Conser vatives in this discourse, and when he trusts that it is the last time we shall have seen an example set to the politicians of this country he might look a little nearer home, and scrutinise the course pursued by Mr. GLAD STONE and those who wished to oppose the passing of the measure. Respecting the change of Government Mr. MONCrtEIFF made some amusing observations, that were too true to be agreeable in certain quarters. He said that his impression was that they had been in quite long enough, and that a change was de sirable. "It is quite plain, and had been plain for some time, that there would be no disadvantage to the Liberal party going out to form a good, strong, vigorous opposition. It is a wholesome thing ; the sunny side of the House is apt to enervate, and it is well to go to the hills for a little to get fresh air." No doubt this notion will not prevail among the members of the Liberal party to any great extent ; but it is nevertheless very true, and Mr. MONCItEIFF deserves credit for giving expression to it. Con cerning the effects of the bill, the hon. member hinted that a great many shams and pretences about Reform might be tried for ever, and concluded his remarks on the subject with an enumeration of the responsibilities of those who would be alone the lowest in the scale now, but who would otherwise have been the lowest them selves, namely, the one of the seven-pound rental OHN GOENELL and CO.'S CHERRY ILI TOOTH PASTE is greatly superior to any tooth powder; gives the teeth a pearl whiteness, protects the enamel from decay, and imparts a pleasant fragrance to the breath.

They will have to moderate as well as to agitate, and to exercise their judgment in many ways. Allowing for a little occasional exaggeration this speech may be regarded as a good illustration of political feeling in many respects, and it is not likely that those of the opposite side should willingly see their triumphs snatched away from them through bad management, and at first sight occasion a very flattering reception to the places of their opponents. It is very evident that under the Radical manage ment of affairs tho American finances are not pros pering. The telegraphic news from New York last week informs us that at the end of September the national debt of the States had increased 2,500,000 dollars as compared with the same period in August. As a set off to this we find at a later date that the Treasury Department have detected coun terfeit 7-30 bonds to the amount of 200,000 dollars, so that public morality is not at a high rate. The leading Democratic orators in Ohio have been devoting a good deal of attention to the financial question, and suggesting schemes for getting rid of the present difficulty respecting the Government Bonds. This is a favourite subject just now with public speakers, who has each his own scheme for paying the debt. Some would pay it in greenbacks ; others would have the present generation pay the interest upon the Bonds, leaving the principal to be paid here after, when the population and wealth of the United States shall have increased, and greenbacks have approached more nearly to the value of gold. We are some way from that solution of the problem as yet, seeing that the closing price of gold on Saturday was 1441. Senator MORTON, of Indiana, who has been lately advocating the latter theory, says, with some truth, that - what American finances need at present are repose and stability. The awkward position of the States Treasury has not as yet taught the Americans circumspection in their foreign policy. The Fenians have lately sent delegates to Washington, who have prevailed upon the Government to restore to the Brotherhood 150 tons of ammunition and other war material, cap tured during the Fenian raids the summer before last. This material has since that time been in the custody of the United States troops at Agdensburg. The surrender of these stores to such open mischief-makers as the Brotherhood affords a curious commentary on the American doctrines of neutrality. They act on the old adage of one man being allowed to steal a horse while another may not look even over a hedge ; since England may not allow an unarmed vessel to leave her ports, while America may supply England's open enemies with material which they can only require to use against her. How would it be if we were to demand from Washington indem nity for the expenses to which Fenianism has put us ? We should certainly have quite as good a ground for doing so as Brother JONATHAN has for contending about the Alabama claims There is no need to look very far for the expla nation of the President's conduct. The Irish vote is a matter of great importance in the forthcoming elections, and a refusal of the Fenian request might have had serious consequences on American politics. It is a great temptation to any statesman to have the allegiance or the opposition of a large body of voters depending on his word ; and here we see the mischief of universal suffrage. Every Irishman has a vote, no matter what his belongings, and thus the noisiest professor of affection for Ireland is certain to win. This bidding for votes and influence has a most deteriorating effect on American public men, and as it has grown to be a recognised necessity, men of refinement and culture witkdraw more and more from the turmoil of poli tical life. The registration returns from the South are com ing in rapidly, and their results are very much what were expected. The negro majority in ten States is over 86,000 ; in some States, such as Louisiana and South Carolina, they more than double the whites. In North Carolina the whites have a slender majority; but the returns in that state arc as yet incomplete. Strengthened perhaps by these figures, the leading Republicans are talking more loudly than ever about the impeachment of the PRESIDENT. Mr. JOHNSON appears to be troubling himself very little about them, and is said to have in contemplation the pardon of ALEXANDER STEPHENS. He has lately issued a pardon for STEPHEN MALLORY, the Confederate Secretary of the Navy, who, like STEPHENS, was excepted under the terms of the Amnesty Proclamation. The PRE SIDENT evidently retains the opinion he promulgated long ago, that the Union has more t o f ear f rom ultra-Republicans than from liberated Confederates. The Abyssinian expedition is just now the most exciting topic of the day, and suggestions are being made from all quarters with reference to its manage ment. All are ready with hints or warnings, whether founded on theory or on practice, and a stranger might suppose it was the first time that England had ventured on sending a hostile expedition into an uncivilised country. The worst is no doubt made of Abyssinia and its possible risks. There are of course many drawbacks, the worst evil perhaps being the uncertainty and want of definite knowledge which makes every mill or milestone on the road a phantom of terror. Our campaigns in Affghanistan were far more formidable than the expedition to Abyssinia is likely to prove, since we know that so far from our having to face a brave and united people the KING'S troops are disaffected and demoralised. The regiments of Sikhs and Ghoorkas, who are all excellent soldiers, :accuE tomed to hilly countries and exhausting climates, will do good service, and, with the assistance and under the direction of Englishmen, will soon teach THEODORE a lesson not to be easily for gotten. Among the many suggestions made, however, some are well worthy of attention in high quarters, and among these we must rank a letter from General CusT, in which he insists onthe importance of efficient reserves. " The timely formation of a support, ready for action, should not," he says, " be overlooked ;" and he adds that no mere system of regimental depots will be sufficient. He reminds that in former cases the victories won by the valour of British troops were often of little ad vantage, owing to the lack of reserves. Marshal SAXE, no mean authority in the art of war, lays down an axiom that " no troops should ever attack without having troops in support." We should therefore, as General CUST advises, have an express division of reserve, prepared in every respect to take the field at the shortest notice. A little foresight and provision at the outset is always advisable in war as in other matters of moment, but they are doubly necessary when the country before us is comparatively untried, though there is little ques tion that its dangers are made the most of by timorous and interested parties.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. There is no reliable news of importance to-day from Italy, but, as usual, an abundance of contra dictory reports. In one sense the insurrection con tinues, but it has assumed the position of a guerilla warfare, armed bands being collected in the moun tains and in the environs of some of the towns, but the force is small, and the idea of marching upon Rome is quite out of the question, for the present at least. Some of the Paris papers, however, do their best to raise the belief that the position of affairs in Italy is one of great gravity and danger. The insurgents are stated to b~ on the march from the province of Viterbo towards the 'fiber, whilst the column under the command of Menotti Gari baldi will endeavour to proceed in that direction for an oppositepoint. On the 11th this column was encamped in the valley of Teverone. One of the reports cir culated by the Italian papers is that Acquapendente has again fallen into the hands of the insurgents. The Government of the Holy See, it is said, is pre paring a document to be presented to the various foreign Powers, in which it will refer to the at tempts under organisation against its authority, aid appeal for assistance to suppress the revolt. Letters from Pesth announce the intention of the Hungarian Ministry to take an important step on behalf of the Belgians and civil liberty. With this view it intends to propose a project of law to the Diet, conferring equal political rights upon citizens of all religious persuasions. At present Jews in Hungary labour under political and civil disabilities. They will also be removed by the proposed law. Such is the liberal spirit now prevalent in Hungary that the Ministry will no doubt be well supported in its proposed reforms. A decree of King Victor Emmanuel has just been issued, appointing General Cialdini to the post of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Austria. — The King of Prussia, who intended to travel from Weimar to Baden, made a short stay at Wies baden, in older to pay a visit to the Prince of Wales and the King of Greece, who are now in the latter city. At this season of the year there are usually many prognostics of a severe winter, but this autumn the _ __ . indications of it seem more abundant than usual. A great deal of snow has fallen prematurely in the department of Puy-de-Dome, and for the last week there have been violent tempests in all parts of France. In the environs of Rouen on Thursday last there was a peculiarly violent hailstorm, which was very destructive to flowers and vegetation. Much snow has fallen in the Jura mountains. In the environs of Franche Comte the wolves are more numerous and more ferocious than has been known for many years. At Chapelle lluin, near Besancon, a young shep herd took a goat and a sheep to pasture. The goat and the sheep were nearly devoured by the wolves, and the dead shepherd was lying by their remains. In Paris to-clay the weather was dull, and the as pect of the horizon was indicative of rain and tem pest. It was, however, much warmer. M. Henri Coroenne, an artist of Valenciennes, has been engaged for two years with an historical pic ture, commemorating an important epoch in the annals of that city. The Hotel de Ville is now under restoration. That edifice recalls to recollec tion a famous episode of the siege of 1793, which took place under its walls. The coalition army had made their dispositions to destroy one of the prin cipal bulwarks of the north of France, and for midable artillery, including 500 cannon, was collected. The town made hasty preparations for defence, and opposite the Hotel de Ville an altar was erected, where it was proposed to receive the oath of the inhabitants. A clay was appointed for the ceremony when the 30,000 be sieged citizens assembled. The oath administered was this, " I mean never to consent to any capitu lation, and to bury myself under the ruins of the city rather than abandon it to the enemies of the country." All repeated with frantic enthusiasm the words " I mean." With the suddenness of elec- tricity every man fell upon his knees and cried, " Long live France ! Conquer or die !" History records the manner in which the natives of Valen ciennes kept their oath. It also repeats the words used by the Duke of York on his entrance into the city, " This place made us lose a campaign." This is the scene which the picture of M. Henri Coroenne is intended to illustrate. It is suffi ciently advanced to enable a judgment to be formed that it will give a good idea of this striking episode in the history of Valenciennes. An interesting archseological discovery has just been made while the workmen were excavating the foundations of the little seminary of Notre Dame at Minimes. A considerable portion has been found of an ancient Roman Rue du Lugdunum, paved with large tiles of granite. From the direction of this ancient highway it appears to have formed the principal route which connected the Imperial Palace of Claude and Mar cus Aurelius with the Antiquailles and the Theatre of the Minimes with the Porte de Trion. By a special convention between Turkey and Austria a direct telegraph wire will shortly place Constantinople and Vienna in direct communica tion. Subsequently the communication will extend from Vienna to Paris and from Paris to London. The Hugues apparatus will be empl oye d. Th e Asiatic Ottoman wire will remain direct, as at pre sent, as far as Sac, in the Persian Gulf. Castagnary, the editor and proprietor of the Nain Jaune, has been condemned by the Correc- tional Tribunal of Paris to pay a fine of 500 f. for an article inserted in that paper alleged to be cal culated " to trouble the public peace, and to excite the hatred and contempt of the citizens against each other." M. Banc, the writer of the article, was sentenced to be imprisoned for four months, and to pay a fine of 500 f. M. Dubinsson, the printer of the paper, is fined 300 f. The defendants are also to pay the expenses of the proceedings. A dramatic story of scandal is retailed by some of the Paris papers, which, however, they assert is founded in truth. A gamekeeper, who resided years ago in the environs of Paris, and was formerly a soldier, conceived a violent and guilty passion for his own daughter, a beautiful and accomplished girl of 23. Circumstances became known as the result of this guilty passion, which excited so much disgust in the neighbourhood where the father and daughter lived that they both went away in haste. Years rolled on, and it was only the other day that a gentleman who was shoot ing in the vicinity Mery-Sur-Oise, where it is pro posed to erect the great Necropolis of the capital, saw a kind of cave into which he was induced to descend. To his great stupefaction he discoverel two skeletons in the cave. Subsequent inquiries by the authorities has proved that the skeletons are those of the father and daughter in question. That of the girl was identified by a dentist of Pontoise, who years ago had furnished her with a false tooth. The skeleton was recognised to bo that of the father from various particulars which leave no doubt upon the subject. _ Gieat preparations aro in progress at the Hotel de Ville for the reception of the Emperor of Austria. The remains of M.

The Sydney Herald of the 23d August says : " The Martin Ministry still hold, with apparent firmness, the reins of power ; but as yet, during the present session, only a few of their measures have been tested. The financial statement will be further delayed for several weeks. The land bill, to the satisfaction of some and discomfiture of others, has at last been introduced, under the title of ' A Bill to Amend the Land Laws, and to make better pro vision for the Freehold Settlements of the Colony.' " The Public Schools Act continues to work well, and promises results much more satisfactory than any hitherto obtained by the expenditure of public money to promote the education of the people. " The Border Custom Duties Bill has passed both houses. This is important chiefly in regard to its tendency towards a federal union of the Austra lasian colonies. "Differences which have arisen between the exe cutive and the Roman Catholic Church have occupied much attention during the month, both within and without the walls of the Parliament houses. These differences relate to the appointment and dismissal of officers connected with the public service, and the course of the Government in discontinuing the services of the Roman Catholic chaplain to a penal establishment, because they were not thought conducive to the public benefit. In the absence of the Archbishop, the Roman Catholic Vicar General ' appointed' the Rev. Denis M'Guinn to be Roman Catholic chaplain at Berrima Gaol, and re quested his Excellency the Governor to sanction' the appointment. The Colonial Secretary asserted the authority of the executive, and refused to regard chaplaincies in gaols as ecclesiastical appointments. Not only had the Rev. Mr. M'Guinn been appointed by the Vicar-General, but the withdrawal of his predecessor had not even been notified to the Go vernment. 4, The bill to enable the senate of the University of Sydney to grant honorary and ad eundem degrees was thrown out on the second reading by a majority of 20 to 16. " A bill has been introduced to provide for the better regulation of the volunteer force of the colony. There are about 2,000 men enrolled. The measure is founded upon the Volunteer Acts of England and Canada. It exempts volunteers from certain civil duties, and offers the inducement of 50 acres of land to those who have rendered five years con tinuous and efficient service. " On the 14th inst. a motion was carried request ing his Excellency the Governor to cause to be placed on the estimates a sum of £5,000, to provide for the reception of his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. It was thought not desirable to ask for a larger sum in anticipation of the visit of his Royal Highness, it being well known that whatever may be required will be loyally granted to do honour to the son of our Queen. A sum of £3,000 has been voted by the municipal council of the city of Sydney for the same purpose." THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. PLYMOUTH, Saturday. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Tasmanian, from St. Thomas on Sept. 29, arrived this evening in Plymouth Sound, with 102 passengers. Pratique has been refused here from her having had yellow fever on board. Thirteen cases and one death oc curred yesterday, and one death the day before. The mails were taken out by a steam tug boat, fumigated and landed. The Tasmanian left at 7 o'clock to-night, with all all her passengers, for Southampton. The Tasmanian's dates are Grey Town, Sept. 16, Charges 23d, Jamaica 24th, Tobago 23d, Trinidad Barbadoes 26th, Grenada 25th, St. Vincent 25th, St. Lucia 26th, Martinique, Guadaloupe, and Dominique 27th, Antigua 28th. She brings in specie $418,673 in gold; $657,622 in silver, and pearls and jewellery valued at $13,340. At Valparaiso no new light has been thrown 011 the Spanish question since the last mail, but an opinion that the Spaniards would not return to the Pacific was gaining ground. Peru was in an un settled state, more especially in the southern pro vinces, and it will require very judicious manage ment on the part of the Government to prevent internal strife. The Peruvian men of war lying at Coquimbo were expected at Valparaiso shortly. Exchange on London, 45} at GO days, and 45i to 46 at 90 days' sight. At Jamaica the health of the population was good, yellow fever having completely disappeared. The weather continued favourable for sugar culti vation, and good average crops were almost certain next year. The coffee crops would not be more than the average in the lowlands, the berry was large and quality good. The pimento crop is a failure this year, and a very few bags would be picked. At Barbadoes agricultural operations were pro gressing favourably ; heavy rains had fallen, but had not injured the cane crop, and an abundant crop of cotton had been reaped. Governor Hincks and family arrived out per the Ganges on the 12th September. Their reception was very hearty. At Trinidad during the past fortnight business had been dull. The weather continued favourable for the planters, although unfavourable for public health. There was still a good deal of fever in the Port of Spain, of the typhoid type, but if treated in time it was not of a dangerous or unmanageable kind. At Grenada heavy floods had occurred in the windward part of the island. The weather gene rally had been unfavourable for crops. Cocoa was beginning to ripen on the trees, but doubts were felt as to an abundant first picking. SOUTHAMPTON, Saturday. The Royal Mail Company's steam ship Tasmanian, Captain Revett, which called off Plymouth last night, arrived here this morning. She landed the principal mails at Plymouth, but the Southampton portion were brought into this port for more speedy delivery. The Tasmanian having a few cases of fever on board is ordered to remain at her moorings, off Netley Hospital, until such time as Dr. Wiblin, medical superintendent of quarantine at this port, has received instructions from the Lords of the Privy Council, with whom he has communicated as to the course to be adopted under the circumstances. THE FENIAN ASSASSINATION IN BLOOMSBUitY. ~------- CORONER'S INQUEST—(THIS DAY). The adjourned investigation into the circum stances connected with the death of Edwin M'Dou ❑ell was proceeded with to-day before Dr. Lankester, the Coroner, in the Board-room of University Hospital. Mr. Poland conducted the case on behalf of the Crown, and Mr. Warner Sleigh appeared for the prisoner Groves. The witnesses examined were the murdered man's companions. Furber and Ilitchings, who each re peated their evidence, which has already appeared at great length in 7he Sun on the examination of the accused man, John Groves, at Bow-street. The most important evidence adduced was that of a witness, who positively identified Groves as one of the men who followed M'Donnell up King-street a few minutes before the shot was fired. This extraor• dinary piece of evidence was obtained through the female writing to the witness Furber after she had read his evidence published in the newspapers, the communication of course being transmitted to the police. Mrs. Harriet Jenman was then examined. She stated that she was a married woman, and resided with her husband at No. 4, King-street, Grosvenor square. On the Friday night she and her husband had been to the Amphitheatre, and after the performance they both went for some refreshment to the Bull and Anchor. While there she saw two men leave the house. After she and her husband had been there a short time they had a slight quarrel, and on getting into the street he left her to walk home alone. Whilst she was thinking what was the best thing to do, and also waiting to see whether her husband was coming back for her, she saw the two men again pass her, and she distinctly heard one of them say, " I'll " shoot the before he goes home to night." She also saw the men go into the lurk's Head in King-street, and also leave the house, the fair man wearing a long beard. By this time she had pro ceeded into New Oxford-street when she heard the report of firearms, and then again she met the two men near a wide street, and she distinctly heard one say to the other, " I've shot one, and I'm sorry I did not fire another shot." The Coroner asked the witness if she could iden tify the man, and she said she could. The witness was then taken, at the request of the Coroner, to the House of Detention by Inspector Thompson, and the inquiry was carried on by the examination of other witnesses until Mrs. Jenman's return. Mrs. Byrne said she was the landlady of the Turk's Head in King's-street, Holborn. On the night of the 27th of September she was behind the bar until seven minutes past one ; the names of her barmaids were Emma Woodcock and Kate Penef old. We were all engaged in serving customers that night. She recollected Furber, Hitchings, and M'Donnell coming to her house that morning. She thought it was about three minutes past one, and she refused to serve them. There were about 12 persons just be fore that in the public bar, and 11 in the private one. She heard some conversation about getting some young men out on bail. She knew John Groves as a customer at her house ; he had been in the habit of coming to the house for twelve. months. She did not know his private residence, but she knew he had a situa tion in Eastcheap. She could not say whether or not he held the situation at the present time. John Groves was in her house on the night O'Don nell was shot. There was a gentlemen with him of the name of Healey. She did not know anything more about that person ; but she did not see Groves on the Friday night later than half-past nine. He used to allow his whiskers to grow. She perceived he had shaved them off, at least on Tuesday before the Friday night in question. She remarked to Groves that he had shaved off his whiskers, and that he looked lik' a boy. He in reply said they would grow thicker. Groves did not know the per sons who were talking about bailing the person out of custody. They were all persons who used to frequent her house in Dublin. Mr. Poland—Give their names. Never mind that. Witness—l don't think gentlemen of the army would like their names to appear in the papers. Mr. W. Sleigh hoped the names would not be called for. The Coroner said he would, for the present, waive the point. Examination of witness continued—She did not gee a man with a long beard in her house on the Friday night. She saw Groves in the middle of the day (Saturday). There was no person with him. Her husband was also engaged in serving on the Friday. Coroner—What did you say to Groves ?—He came in just after the police left, and I then told him about the murder. He expressed great surprise at the news, but nothing more. By Mr. IV. Sleigh—We always turn the street lights out at one o'clock, and if Bowler states that he saw the lamps burning at five minutes past one he is mistaken. All the lights are turned out at that hour, except of course the lights necessary to enable persons to leave the house. Coroner—What sort of a man is Healey ; dark or fair ?—He is not so tall as Groves, and dark. Did you ever see any of your customers wear false beards?—No, never. :Did you ever hear quarrelling about Fenianism in front of your bar ?—No, never. Mr. Sleigh here remarked that the police seemed to be conducting the case very unfairly against his lint Groves. They had brought every witness wlao could speak against Groves, but they had not th ought proper to have Bowler present that day, which he thought extremely unfair. Emma Woodcock, barmaid at the Turk's Head, said she was serving there on Friday, the 2d of Sep tet: aber, until the Saturday morning. She corrobo rat ed the evidence of Mrs. Byrne. :Inspector Thompson at this point entered the rut an, and said he had, in obedience to the dircc tik:.n of the coroner, taken Jenman to the House of D otention, and she had pointed out Groves as one of the men she saw in New Oxford-street after she heard the report of firearms. The Coroner said he would proceed with filo examination of the witness then before the Court, and hear what had taken place after. In reply to a Juror, witness, in continuation, s.tid Groves had a brown great coat on when she s iw him on Friday night. The lights were always put &Alt five minutes before one. They were all out at Pe house on the night in question, The lights were not out when the three men came in at one o'clock, but she could not swear that the outside lights were out. She heard no discussion about Fenianism on Friday night. A juror asked whether the witness was quite cer tain that Groves wore a greatcoat, because Mrs. Byrne could not speak to the fact. The Coroner said the witness was quite certain about the matter, as she had said it was a Bis mark" brown. Mrs. Byrne was recalled, and asked the name of her present husband. She said Martin Lynch, but the license was taken out by her in the name of Byrne. She thought her barmaid, who was a very nervous person, had made a mistake about Groves wearing a greatcoat. Coroner—Never mind that. Wro %rill now hear Mrs. Jenman. Mrs. Jertnan then said—When I left here I was taken down to the House of Detention in a c,tb. I occupied the inside of the vehicle alone. Inspector Tompson rode outside. When I got there I was taken round the prison by one of the officers from cell to cell. 1 saw a man in one of the cells like the man who put on the beard, and who followed the three men up King-street, and whom I again saw in New Oxford-street, and whom I heard say, " I've shot one —, and I'm sorry I did not fire a second time." The Coroner—You can swear to that man ? Witness—Yes. Coroner—Do you know the name of the man ? Witness—l heard the man whom I saw in George street call the man whom I have seen this morning Groves. Coroner—How many men did you see the_ morn ing before you saw Groves? Witness—Four or five at least. Mr. Poland—How did you you see the men ? Witness—The door of the cell was opened, and each man came to the door. When Groves's cell door was open I said, " That's the man." Coroner—Did any one tell you you were going to see Groves this morning. Witness—No. Examination continued—l first heard the man at the Bull and Anchor say, " Come on Groves, it's time we were gone." I also heard one of the men whom I followed for some time say, " shoot the before he gets home to-night," and then I saw one of them take something from his breast pocket, but I cannot say what. I was enabled to go to Furber's lodging by means of seeing his ad dress in the newspapers. Cross-examined- - I have been married five years. Hy husband is a journeyman butcher. He is now out of work. His last employer was Mr. Scarlett, of South Audley-street. He left in consequence of the dullness of the season. I cannot say how many situations my husband has been in since my marriage. I cannot swear posi tively to the number. I and my husband have quarrels like other people. I'm not in the habit of leaving my husband and walking about the streets, but we had been to the theatre that evening and we had a quarrel, or) ing to my husband having taken a glass too much. I had been that evening to the Amphitheatre. The quarrel was merely because my husband had taken too much. I'm quite certain about the matter. I had no communication with any person before Farber came to my place in consequence of the letter I sent him. I read the account of the murder in one of the Sunday papers, and then I told my husband I con sidered it was my duty to tell all ,I knew. I know nothing about the re war d offered for the discovery of the murderer. I will swear I have not seen the bills sticking about. The three men came out of the public-house and went up King-street with out having any conversation. The tall man put on the beard as he left the Bull and Anchor, and went into the Turk's Head with it on. An officer of the prison was the only person that accompanied mo when I was shown the men in the prison. The per son in the cell was told to stand forward, nothing more. All the persons I saw were in prison clothed, but I did not notice this matter very particularly. Mr. Sleigh—You believe Mrs. Witness—l don't believe. lam perfectly certain that the man I saw this morning was the person who put on the beard when I left the Bull and Anchor. I deny having given three different versions of what I knew about the matter. I never saw either of the men whom I have spoken of until the night of the murder. I was with in three or four yards of them when I saw one put on the beard. I heard the conversation very distinctly, and then I followed them up Holborn. I saw the man take the falso beard from his pocket. I will not swear that the man wore a greatcoat. The man had the beard on after I had heard the shot fired, and when I met them in New Oxford-street. I could not see his face when he put on the beard. By a Juror—What I heard the man with tho beard say near Hart-street was, " I have shot ono --; lam sorry I did not Lire the second timo and shoot the right one." By the Coroner—l told Inspector Thompson that I saw the dark man in George-street, and two men came up to him. One said, " good morning Joe, how is Jack getting on?" The dark man said, " too true they have got the poor b--, but no one can swear to him but me, for I was with him on the night of the murder." He added that if any one dared to go and give evidence he would shoot him in the witness box. I believe tho dark man recognised me, as he followed me down as far as Mr. Ward's, the greengrocer, in Oxford street. Mr. Sleigh reserved his further cross-examination, and the inquiry was adjourned until to-morroW week. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. THE " CHRONICLE" ON THE ROMAN QUESTION. —Great uncertainty still prevails as to the facts of the insurrection in the Papal States. The conflict ing accounts received from official and revolutionary sources bear a close analogy to those of the Spanish outbreak a few weeks since. From Rome it is announced that the Garibaldians are either defeated or dispersed, and that the city is perfectly tranquil. From Florence comes news that the Garibaldians avoid concentrating themselves in masses or occupy ing the towns, in order to tire out the Pontifical troops, and that the preparations for a rising in Rome are completed. This latter view of the circumstances to some extent recognises and accounts for the former. The chief object of the insurgents is probably to draw off the Papal troops from Rome, where they have hitherto been chiefly concentrated ; and their best chance of succeeding in this aim is to keep up an alarm upon the frontier while the city itself is left tranquil. It will be diffi cult for the Roman Government to take no part in protecting its own provinces, in the absence of any obvious necessity for the presence of its whole army iu the capital. General Garibaldi has made an un successful attempt to leave Caprera ; and it is possi ble that his followers are designedly holding back from any decisive att emp t , i n t h e expectat i on t h at he will yet put himself at their head. S. Nigra has returned from Biarritz, and the most contra dictory reports are in circulation as to the purpose and results of his visit. But the feeling that some further arrangement between France and Italy with regard to the Roman question is demanded by the change of circumstances is daily gaining ground. The September Convention was a com promise entered into for the maintenance of the existing state of things until a more definite solu tion could be arrived at. It has always offended the enemies of the temporal Power by recognising its continuance, and its friends by leaving it without adequate support. It is now shown to be useless, even as a means of keeping things quiet. And it has consequently ceased to be acceptable to any party whatever. PERTINACITY OF THE lIAWK.—A few days ago, as Mr. Maegilvrny, farmer, Ballachroan, Kingussie, was taking an early walk through his fields, he observed a hawk evidently intent on pouncing on a lark, which showed every sign of being fully aware of the evil designs of its more powerful antagonist. Alarmed at the near ap proach of tho foe the poor littlo bird alighted at Mr. Mac gilvray's feet, who lifted it up in his hand, and thus rescued it from the fangs of the hawk. The little lark was care fully carried home and placed in a cage. In the evening of the same clay, Mr. Macgilvray, naturally thinking that the coast was clear, gave the lark its freedom ; but no sooner did it wing its flight than down comes the hawk with the rapidity of lightning and pounced its claws in the back of its innocent and defenceless victim, carrying it exultingly tG , its retivat.—AVC/710$ Courier. gag e Gol from i Th( turfing there the ge pressic wand either trade the ii rule lo ford, I taken In the Nottin any m ham, other 1 prevail log inv for th( British The tance o on the The F tion.
