Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature • also a description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from nature by George Willis, and engraved in hid best style by John Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if raeleties require it, three, four, live, and even six figured are given. The work Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at (41. each. The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. Ed, each part. Part X. saw ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had. "We congratulate British entomologists on the completion sad publication of this magnificent work."—Field. " Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable.' —Doily Teleyraph. "It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages ever all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth. with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtaia many rare specimens."—Standard. "The completion of Mr. Newman'. work on the British lifcths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a tent-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste folly got-up velum°, which will be au ornament to any library or drawing - room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation a an ento mologist deservedly stands high. • We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are gllfq: in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these nr.,L the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers.

TO TIIE,ELECTORS AND RATEPAYERS OF MARYLEBONE. kENTLEMEN,—I present myself as a Candidate J for Election .to the London School Board as one of the Representatives of Marylebone. I have incessantly and actively advocated a system of National Unsectarian Education. For twenty years I have studied the wants, the claims, the rights of the people ; and have all that time been in the habit of expres sing my opinions, as a public journalist, on the questions which have arisen affecting their moral and material well-being. I have been led to believe that my humble services to the pub lic cause will recommend me to the place of honour I seek at the new Education Council. I represent no sect, no party, no clique, and am not specially supported by any organisation. 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, BLANCHARD JERROLD. Reform Club, Oct. 17th 1870, HOMELESS BOYS OF LONDON. REFUGES FOR HOMELESS AND DESTI TUTE CHILDREN and CHICHESTER TRAINING SHIF.--Upwards of 500 Boys and Girls are now being supported in these Refuges and Ship. Owing to the benevolent and praiseworthy exertions which have for several months been made to aid the sick and Wounded in the present War, the funds for the support of these Refuges and Ship have decreased considerably. lin urgent appeal is therefore made for assistance to support CA inmates. £l5 will keep a boy or a girl for one year, and £1 ss. for a month. Contributions thankfully received by the London and West minster Bank, 214, High Holborn, W.C., and 41, Lothbury, E.C., and by WILLIAM WILLIAMS, Secretary No. 8, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, W.C. LAW AND POLICE. SINGULAR CASE.—William Klernmuller, a German, was charged before Mr. Arnold, at the Marlborough street Police-court, with stealing two coats and a quantity of provisions from Mr. Gabriel Catalan French, provision merchant, Greek-street, Soho. The prosecutor said that about seven weeks ago the prisoner, who was in his employ, left him, and about three weeks afterwards he missed two coats, an opera glass, and a pair of boots. That morning, about seven o'clock, he was awoke by one of his lodgers, and on going to the cellar found the prisoner there, he pretending to be asleep. The pri soner upoirgetting up rushed to the dust-hole and buried himself there. A constable was sent for, and it was then found that the prisoner had had frequent access to the cellar with a latch key of the house, which was in the pocket, of one of the missing coats — the key being found at the bottom of the stairs. On examining the cellar he found that about three dozen of wine had been taken away, that a number of bottles had their necks broken off and were empty, and that others were only partly full. He also found that a cheese had been taken away, another had been partly eaten, and a third was packed up ready for removal; the whole of the property he missed being of the value of £8 or £lO. Madame Poninska, of Gerrard-street, proved seeing the prisoner, about a month ago, leaving the pro secutor's house with a parcel under his coat. Police-con stable John Cook, 133 0, said that he had with the [ 'assistance of another constable to remove the prisoner by force from the dust-hole. He found the latch key identified by the proiecutor as his property at the bottom of the stairs, and a box of matches on the prisoner. He also found a number of betties with their necks off, and cheeses partly eaten. The prisoner said he never stole the coats. Mr. Arnold committed the prisoner for VIOLENT STREET ASSAULT.—Matthew Dodd, a respect ably dressed man, was charged at Westminster Police court with assaUlting Frederick William Waller, an omnibus conductor in the employ of the London General Company, and damaging a lamp, value 12s. 6d., the property of Mr. Willing, 'the contractor ; he was also charged with damaging some fencing, value 10s. Com plainant said he was coming out of the Phcene Arins, Oakley-street, Chelsea, and saw a drunken man, whom he advised prisoner to take home. Prisoner turned round and abused him, and followed him home; as he had a large sum of money belonging to the company he hurried along, but at the outside of his residence in Oakley-crescent prisoner made a violent attack on him, knocked him down, and kicked hiM all over the head and body, breaking .his lamp over his head ; and had it not been for the arrival of the police, he had no doubt he would have lost his money. The garden rails were broken, and he was severely cut in the head and chest. He could, only surmise that it was an attempt to rob him of his money. Prisoner said prosecutor had pretended to be a policeman,,but urged nothing to justify the assault. He could call witnesses. Mr. Woolrych remanded him till to-morrow, to enable him to call witnesses. ALLEGED BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A WIFE.—Geo. Titlow, aged 40, of 94, Highgate-road, tailor, was charged, at the Marylebone Police-court, with a brutal assault upon his wife. Mr. Moore, of the Associate Institute for the Protection of Women and Children, watched the case. The wife was unable to attend, and a medical certificate was put in. William Wingrove, police-constable, 400 Y, said he was called. to the house and saw prisoner's wife bleeding profusely from a wound on the forehead. She said her husband, who was drunk, had struck her with a long brass candlestick. The candlestick was now pro duced, and was broken in half. The wound was a very bad one. The prisoner said his wifo was excited, and he took up the candlestick to defend himself, and she ran her head against it. Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded the prisoner. A MANAGER OF A FERRY CO. CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLE MENT.—Captain George James Coombes, manager to the Rock Ferry Company, was again brought before the County Magistrates at Birkenhead, charged with embez zlement. Evidence was given of moneys unaccounted for having been pai Me sas the prisoner by the 'Wigan Coal and Iron Company, e. IVlver (the Cunard Company), and Messrs. Allan and Co. (Montreal Steamship Com pany). The amount as to which evidenoe was thus given was £3B4lsB.—The prisoner was committed for trial, bail, however, being accepted. STREET ADVERTISEMENTS.— At the Mansion House, Isaac Thomas, an elderly man, was brought before Mr. Alderman Finnia,.charged with writing an advertisement on the parapet of London Bridge. . Between twelve and one o'clock in the morning a constable on London Bridge saw the prisoner painting an advertisement on the parapet with whiting, about Davis's Sewing Machines. On the way to the station the accused was very violent, and attempted to throw the officer down. The prisoner said he was occasionally employed by Mr. Davis, and his advertise ments were obliterated by a man who painted up " Who's Griffiths?" On this occasion he acted on his own responsiblity, and he believed Mr. Davis would not have allowed him to put his advertisement on such a place. The Alderman sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 10s. or go to prison for seven days. THE IRISH LAND QUESTION.—The tenacity with which tenants cling to the land which they have once occupied is exemplified in a case tried before the ma;is trates at Tipperary on Thursday. A famer, named M`Caffrey, a tenant on the estate of Mr, Smith-Barry, M.P., got into arrears to the extent of £75. An eject ment was served, and possession was obtained by the constabulary, and a sum of £lO given to the defaulting tenant besides the loss of the arrears. In a few days the • tenant s wife got into possession again, and it became ne cessary to apply to the Magistrates in order to get up the lands. Weaffrey had been offered permission to sell his interest, but refused to,do so. A woman ,who had been allowed to hold a little piece of land in Tipperary -at a nominal rent of CA per annum has sold her "interest" therein. The place, however, was leased to another per son, and on a bailiff going to the house he found the woman had barricaded it. Her neighbours are supplying her with food, which they let down the chimney. THE BISHOP DESIGNATE OF MADAcimicAit.—The Rev. R. H. Baynes, M.A., vicar of St. Mary and All Angels, Coventry, whose acceptance of the Bishopric of Madagascar was announced the other day, has been offered by his parish an additional sum of 2300 a year in order to induce him to retain his present post. Mr. Baynes, however, has declined this offer. In a letter to his parishioners, he writes ;—" I need hardly say that, in a worldly point of view, after your generous offer, I shall be a loser by the decision I have felt bound to make. I go to no preferment, as the world's most objectionable phrase has it. Much, very much, has to be given up, but I have so often preached about self-sacrifice and self denial, that I should be untrue, indeed, if I were not will ing, for Christ's sake and the Gospel's, to take up my cross and follow Him wherever His call may summon. You will help me, I know, by your sympathy and prayers, and though separated by distance, we may still rejoice in the unbroken fellowship of the Church of God." STEEL GUNS.--The competition between the 9- inch Armstrong wrought-ironmuzzle-loader and the Krupp steel 9-inch breech-loader rifled guns during some months past at Vienna has yielded the victory to the steel gun. The Austrian military newspaper, the Comrade, says that " the news given by the Tagblott that the Armstrong 9-inch gun burst at the 121st round of the firing on the Steinfeld must be rectified. The gun is not burst, but severely damaged." To this we can add the following, confirming the previous results in favour of steel in the t competitive trials at Berlin in 1868. In the recent Austrian trials both guns were fired with prismatic powder, and after 1U rounds the Armstrong gun showed a split 26 inches in length, and was consequently declared unfit for further service. The 9-inch steel gun has con tinued firing, and scores at this time 210 rounds, remain ing good condition ; the breech-loading apparatus being also in a perfect state of conservation. The case of the Rev. C. Voysey again occupied the at tention of the Judicial Cemmittee of the Privy Council yesterday, when M.-. Voysey proceeded with his defence, which was a very lengthy docummt, occupying over 150 sheets of printed matter. The rev. gentleman, who had commenced his address on the previous night, now proceeded to justify the views he had taken with regard to revelation. He said the judgment delivered in that court in the case of Mr. Wilson and Dr. Williams made it superfluous for him to illustrate the various doctrines which, under that judgment, might be legally held by clergymen of the Church of England. He was no longer bound to defend himself against any direct charges or indirect implications in calling into question the opinion that all persons dying impenitent or out of the Grace of God were tortured everlastingly in hell ; or what other statements in the Bible were to be accepted without question as true in fact, in morality, or even in religion, for on all these points it had been expressly declared that the Church of England had laid down no definite law, and upon these points, there fore, any opinion might be held. He proceeded to shew how far that liberty had been carried by men whose names stood the highest amongst . the clergy of this or any other age. He felt that if ho was charged with depraving the Prayer Book or cal . . . . ling into question particular passages of that book, or of the Old and New Testament, he had a sufficient defence in the conduct of such men as Dean Milman, Dr. Jenner, and others, whose language was not justified by the arti cles of religion, and further, by attacking their statements he was vindicating these articles. The rev, gentleman went on to skew some instances of the liberty claimed and exercised by clergymen whose opinions were looked up t 3 and respected, and the freedom which they had exercised he considered he had adopted, though to a less extent. He alluded to such men as Dr. Arnold, Bishop Thirwall, Bishop Gibson, and others, and he read the following extract from a sermon preached by Archdeacon Tillotson :—" All our views about revelation are necessarily gathered from our natural notions about religion, apd therefore he who solely desires to do the will of God is not apt to be imposed upon. If any doctrine be proposed to him which was pretended to come from God, he measured it by those sure and steady notions which he had of the Divine nature and law, if it was agreeable in the sight of God, and tended to make us like unto God. If it be not thought an angel should king it, he would not receive it." Here, then, was an instance of the freedom exercised by great men, and again Bishop Marsh 'had declared in his works that there were many things relating to history and to physical science mentioned in the Bible which could not be sub stantiated, but were clearly at variance with facts. He considered that in citing these opinions he had justified his own views on the matter of revelation, and if their lordships required further proof of the freedom exercised he would refer to eminent men of the present day. The Solicitor-General interrupted and said, while ad mitting the right of the rev, gentleman to quote from men of the past he scarcely knew if he was at liberty to use the writings of men who now lived, and whose views might change at any moment. The Lord Chancellor considered the rev, gentleman had clearly a right to refer to living writers. - - The Rev. Mr. Voysey then went on to quote passages from Dr. Wilberforce, Dean Stanley, and others in sup port of his right to deal as he had done with the Scrip tures, and then proceeding with the accusation of having offended against the formularies of the Church he declared this in reality to be utterly groundless. He (Mr. Voysey) had never spoken of the formularies of the Church with disrespect. Had he done so, he might have sheltered himself under the wing of Bishop Watson, but he could not see why that liberty of criticism should be denied to him which was extended to or at least exercised by the Ritual Commission in speaking of the Athanasian Creed, and inrespect of which the Archbishop of Canterbury, in his protest, had said it would have been a wise course if the Commission had decided that it should not retain its place in the public services of the Church. In conclusion, he urged that he might be allowed to resume his clerical functions, and he did so with confidence. He asked to be allowed to continue in that branch of religion to which he professed to belong, and to proclaim what Christ Himself proclaimed. The National Church as established in our land had - enshrined in her articles, creeds, and formularies such teaching as he had heartily and honestly embraced, and such as he could as heartily and as honestly repeat. There it stood as his justification and his defence, and until it had been removed by Act of Parliament ' he simply claimed its pro tection. He pleaded now that he might be fully ac quitted; that the judgment of the court below be reversed, and that the costs of the suit and of this appeal be granted him on the grounds which he had urged, and especially on the ground that in the incriminated passages he had only denied what the articles did not affirm, and had affirmed what the articles did not deny. [There was some applause at the conclusion of the reverend gentleman's defence, which was Quickly sup pressed.] The Lord Chancellor said the Committee did not desire to hear a general reply, as the points urged were fresh in their memory, but were willing to hear anything upon the fresh grounds raised by the defendant. The Solicitor-General offered a few remarks, and judg ment was postponed. left CasselA°ll, uf will sh°''' about 30011°1 by the S° ll 4 Lr, St. Mato, e assassinetilel to 60,000 0 0 '4 0 ere would In L o %eh of the Or- [ in Monte T ic/" y of freesho oter : eapon—the 138-of ned with ,!)11,8 rmans. themselves Ltell/ those who ters of den ad announce' .e names. t ;rale LadmiroeAlit; ',ping from g by osely pursue d . ds confirno tl°ll ; s il-erman tom W i of gott, Bart. , at Metz, vi bere 1 by the geli m ti ., e ' e ummenced Or o liady Pigott jo bb , lerefore, d°ll A Orleans the in visitiog e als.

Now Published, 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. Od . " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of 'A Winter Journey 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., Evil! 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. Evill'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. " Ur. 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 (Ecumenical 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. lie 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, to 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. Sonic passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing 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. Evill for his-pleasant recollee 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 arc 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. Evil'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 entire 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 divorce case " Taylor v. Taylor " was heard again on Monday in the Irish Provincial Court. On cross examination Mrs. Taylor admitted that she went out boating, alone, with a Mr. M`Carthy, for two hours in the absence of her husband. She also wrote a letter in a feigned, ignorant style, with bad spelling, to her mother in-law, for purposes of deception. She was examined as to her acquaintance with a Mr. Lizars. Miss Lucy Parsons, sister of Mrs. Taylor, deposed to coarse expres sions used by Mr. Taylor to his wife and to her. " Both her sister and herself gave up wearing ribbons round their necks, as he caught them by them and almost strangled them." While he (Mr. Taylor) was at his mother's resi dence, she " sent for the police to take him into custody." Evidence has also been given as to Mr. Taylor's drinking habits. Mr. Trevelyan, M.P., has, according to the Daily Beals, lately received anonymous letters of an offensive character, written apparently by persons of education, and conversant with military details. These, it is said, have now begun to contain very significant threats of personal violence.

THE SICK AND WOUNDED.—The Society of Friends have raised a special fund for the relief of the distressed peasantry in the north-east of France, and a meeting was held yesterday at which details of its application were given. A sum exceeding £lO,OOO has been collected, and for the present the operations of the fund are confined to the district in the neighbourhood of Metz, with Briey for its headquarters. Details of the terrible privations suf fered by the people were given, and it was stated that a great deal of relief in the shape of provisions had been dis tributed. An urgent appeal was made for a supply of warm woollen clothing for the winter. - - • THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.—Mr. C. Reed, M.P., presided on Monday evening at a largely attended meeting in the Shoreditch Town-hall, assembled for the purp3se of hearing a lecture by Dr. Lees on the Permissive Bill. Mr. Reed thought a thickly populated district like Hackney should feel an intense interest in the temperance move ment, for the too free indulgence in. intoxicating drinks was one of the greatest curses that the people of this country were afflicted with. Though he might not go as far as a good many persons respecting the restrictions that should be impo s ed upon the sale of drink, he was desirous of doing all in his power, both in and out of Par liament, to get rid of this curse in the best and quickest manner possible. Resolutions were afterwards passed in favour of the principles of the Permissive BilL THE CHURCH IN AUSTRALIA.—The Rev. Thomas Sharpe has been appointed Canon of Bathurst.

Lord • St. Germans has requested that the following' extract from a Western contemporary, describing the acci dent that happened on board H.M.S. Cambridge, on the 10th inst., wail be published " While the inspection of Her Majesty's gunnery ship Cambridge was being pro ceeded with, Admiral Sir 11. J. Codrington, Captain the Hon. F. A. C. Foley, other officers, and two of the sons of the Earl of St. Germans stood at the entry port of the - middle deck to watch a gun-cotton experiment that was being made in the water, about 30 yards off. Mire pounds of the cotton (equal to 151 b. of gunpowder) -was confined in a square box, which was placed on an old stage piled with pieces of timber, the object being to try what downward effect the gun-cotton would have. The charge was exploded by means of electricity, the battery being on the poop, and the effect was terrific. This was the first time the cotton was exploded while confined, and it immediately shattered the raft and shook the ship. It smashed the sash over the sentry's walk near the entry port, and it was found that the Hon. Henry Cornwallis Eliot, second son of the Earl of St. Germans, had been severely struck in the face. It was thought that it was by the glass. Subsequently, however, it was seen that this could not have been, for the, glass was over his head, and he wore a high poll hat. He must have been hit by one of the many splinters of the raft that were sent flying- in every direction, although Mr. Eliot was the only one of the party hurt. fie was at once removed on shore, and received the best medical aid. His face was much cut,_ and unfortunately -the §lght of his left eye is Permanently destroyed. Mr. "Eliot is progressing favourably. The gun-cotton was experimented with with a - view to its use in a torpedo. On the sanj.e day an old cutter was blown up by a torpedo with a 30Ib. gunpowder charge, and not a piece more than a foot long could be found. A St. Germans correspondent says the left eye of the Hon. H. C. Eliot was so severely injured by the acci dent that it has had to be removed. The young gentleman is going on as well as can possibly be expected,,considering the painful nature of the operation." • • BREACH OF PROMISE CASE. At the Metropolitan Bail Court, the case of " Wood v. Wood," for breach of promise, was heard. The defendant pleaded that he was so much intoxicated at the time that he did not know what he was doing. The parties were second cousins. The defendant in 1862 was a married man, and the plaintiff a young woman then about 23 years of age, and was in the habit of visiting and staying at the defendant's house. Mrs. Wood was in a consump tion, and the defendant paid great attention to the plain tiff, and an intimacy arose between them, which resulted in the plaintiff giving birth to a child in 1863. Mrs. Wood died in 1867. The defendant still continued his attentions to the plaintiff, who was the daughter of a market gardener, and he frequently expressed his intention to marry the plaintiff. At length he sent to the plaintiff to meet him on a certain day, as he had something impor tant to communicate to her, and, as she thought it was something relative to the marriage, she met him, and he then told her he was going to be married to a lady who was a widow ; and he married her in September last year. Upon one particular evenin, in March, 1869, after supper at plaintiff's father's, the plaintiff's father asked the de fendant what he intended to do about the plaintiff and her child, and the defendant said he intended to marry the plaintiff, and he repeated this next morning. The defen dant said his father was worth between £4,000 and 25,000 and that he was worth more than his father. The defen dant told the plaintiff's father that he had providedfor her child, and they need not trouble about it. The defendant was not the worse for liquor at the time he made the pro mise. I'm the defence it was urged that this action should have been brought iu Lincolnshire, where the matter had occurred, and where the parties were known. The jury must look at the case in a calm manner, and not be led away by speculative ideas as to the property of the de fendant. They could not shut their eyes to what had occurred between these parties in the lifetime of the defendant's wife. No claim had been made upon the defendant until two years after Mrs. Wood's death. It was mere accident that the marriage was then spoken of. It was a gin-and-water promise after supper. What had the plaintiff lost? It would not be right to add damages for the seduction, but to confine them to the breach of promise. The learned Judge summed up, stating that he did not like such actions, and should not himself give heavy damages. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff ; damages, £2Ol NEWS FROM INDIA. The Overland Mail has brought news from Calcutta to the 19th and from Bombay to the 22nd of October. The papers contain details of the Viceroy's visit to Puttialla and Jeypore, and of his reception at those places, of which we some time since received intelligence by tele graph• Some other items of news are given as follows by the Times of India and Bombay Gazette : A tragic story comes from Simla. A Mrs. Sealy was found dead in her house, with a severe sword-cut in her head, " indeed almost scalped." A man named Reed, an assistant in one of the headquarters offices, who lived in the same house, was also found with a bullet-wound in his chest, though alive. It is said that it has been decided that the gun of the future for the Indian land defences is to be the 40-pounder Palliser rifled, to which form all existing armament will be gradually converted. Guns of nine and ten inches will be used for all Indian sea defences. On the 7th of October the Republic was proclaimed at Pondicherry, and it is expected that a new Governor will arrive shortly from France to replace Monsieur Bontemps, who is godson of the Emperor. His Highness the Maharajah Sir Maun Singh, K. 5.1., died at his residence at Lucknow on the 12th of October. his Highness Sri Sing, Rajah of Chumba, died on the 3rd of October. His Highness's little State is best known as the field of a flourishing Presbyterian mission. Mr. Drew, geologist to the Maharajah of Cashmere, started from Iskardo on September 21 to Ghilgit, to make inquiries about Mr. Hayward. The mission was to occupy some three weeks. He Was not to go beyond Cashmere territory. The deaths are announced of Colonel J. C. Anderson, R.B. (Madras), Officiating Inspector-General of Irriga tion; Major H. W. Best, doing duty at Agra; Major C. M. Lewis, Bombay Staff Corps ; Captain F. W. Wil liams, 2nd N.I. ; Lieutenant L. G. 0. Stucley, 36th Regi ment ; and Lieutenant J. D. Thomas, 38th Regiment, who died at Cherat, near Peshawur, from injuries caused by the accidental discharge of his gun when out shooting. The cotton-spinning mill of Messrs. David White head and Sons, ltawtenstall, was on Monday totally de stroyed by fire. The damage is roughly , estimated at £20,000, while 300 workpeople have been thrown out of employment. - - The boring of the Alps has been vigorously pro ceeded with. The works during the month of October have advanced the subterranean passage to 11,955 metres, so that only sixty-four metres remain to be perforated before the sub-Alpine passage between France and Italy shall be completel It is believed that the work of boring the Alps may be completed in less than two months, and in six months' time the further task of enlarging the tunnel and making the road will be accomplished - . - THE PARIS OPERA OPENED.—A Paris letter states that L'Op6ra reopened its doors on the evening of the 6th. The entertainment of the evening was one of those concerts such as this theatre can alone organise. Five or six of the principal artists excepted, all the actors had fled, considering it more prudent to have themselves applauded ,on foreign stages. Of those who have re mained, MM. Villaret, Baron, Gaspard, Devoyod, Yon sard, Bosquin, Mesdames Gueymard and Hisson, deserve to be mentioned. The receipts of the first night are to be devoted to the relief of the victims at Chlteaudun. The 1101 was crowdel ; and the concert, which began at eight o'clock, ended at a quarter to eleven. Extracts from the most celebrated operas, " Alceste," " Guillaume Tell," "Les Hugenots," and "Le Chant du Depart" were sung. - - EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT.—Reuben Orchard Falstead was charged at the petty sessions held at Bland ford, in Dorset, a few days since with having allured and taken away Jane Marian Greatbach, aged 16 years and four months. The prisoner was a clerk of the National Provincial Bank, and the young lady—of great personal attractions —was the daughter of a widow lady, and entitled under her father's will to considerable property. The prisoner, who is some year's the lady's senior, and the son os a retired naval officer, formed the acquaintance of the lady, and on October 13 took a car riage to her residence to take her for " an evening drive." She was wrapped up carefully by mamma, and the pair set out for Pimperne, through Thorntongate, but they made their way to Wimborne station, and by the night nt mail went to town, and thence to Dublin, where tey were found a few days since by Superiendent Moor h e. Pri soner was remanded. ACORNS AS FOOD FOR CATTLE.— icorns having worked a considerable amount of mischief among cattle, partly by accident, and partly bec ause their nature and properties are not understood, an abundance of nonsen sical advice to stockowners has appeared in letters to the newspapers. One correspondent actually speaks of the starch which is abundantly present in acorns and in horse chestnuts as the cause of their indigestibility and injurious effects on cattle. One might as well say that wheat and oats are dangerous food when uncooked, because they contain 60 or 70 per cent. of starch. The fact is that both the acorn and horse chestnut are surrounded by a nearly impervious and indigestible coat ; and it is in great mea sure the presence of this fibrous envelope which causes whole acorns either to pass through the digestive organs unaltered or to lodge in them, and which produces irrita tion of the intestines, followed by illness and death. We might as well give a deg a biscuit inclosed in a willow chip box, as feed an animal on acorns in the husk. The tannin and the bitter and poisonous principles which have been extracted from acorns and horse chesnut have usually little to do with the bad effect of these seeds on animals. Acorns become a wholesome food in admixture with other vegetable products, by the very easy process of steaming, or by grinding and then soaking the coarse meal in water to which a little common washing soda has been added.— Chamber of Agriculture Journal.
