N._ ;;;a brutal usage at the hands of her husband, who is of drunken habits. Being a skilful workman his earn ings were sometimes nearly £4 a fortnight, yet be never allowed his wife more than £1 a fortnight. On Saturday night last he received £3 15s. wages, but of this he sent home only what the family de scribe as the usual £l. With the rest he went drink ing', and came home late at night. On the Sunday fortino'in he 'To' up, and upon reaching the kitchen to.,k up the cat, swung it round hip heal by its tail, and then brought it down upon the bricked 11 'or with such force as to dash out its brains. Having done this he threateuel his wife that " whea * night came he would serve her the same." At about nine o'clock another ironworker, named Frank Tipton ' aliqs ' Tippoe, having bea r d th a t N ea l e hail pi,eons ,to sell, went to his house, called hi m ou t , and they went together to the Plasterers' Arms, kept by henry Turley, for whom Tipton desired to buy the pigeons. There 6s. was given to Neale for the birls, and at a little before 11 'Tipton, Turley, and oth , ic two men, named respectively Abraham Bowkev and Richard Ling, went with Neale to his house to fetch the pigeons. As the men passed down the yard the woman, who bad gone to bed, awoke, threw on an under-garment or two, and ran down stairs. Her eldest son heard her do this, and fear ing violence from his father towards his mother, he too gotup, partially dressed himself, and ran down stairs. This, he said, he did, because his mother was usually beaten by his father when she ran down stairs, the practice of the father being, when he came home and found his wife in bed, to strip the clothes off her, throw them down stairs, and beat her upon the head with his nailed boot. As he dressed be heard his mother say, " They are going to take the pigeons." He also heard men's voices in the yard.. By the time he got down to the bottom of the yard he found his mother lying dead near to the dove cote, " huddled up," and her head resting with its right side upon her right hand. Neighbours were ealled, the poor woman was carried into the house, and surgeons sent for. Three came from the South Staffordshire Hospital, close by. They found an in cised wound over each of the eye brows, and severe bruises upon the face and head, altogether eight wounds and bruises could be counted. The wounds over the eyes were clean cut, and very little blood had flowed from them, and the bruises upon her face might well have been occasioned by men's feet. Her hands, too, seemed as though they had been trodden upon. She was lying near to a low wall built of blast furnace cinders which much resemble coarse glass, and one of the cinders was found be tween her head and shoulders. Her husband was arrested at a little before three o'clock yesterday morning, when he returned home. To the officer who took him into custody he said, " I never struck her. I went to fetch some pigeons which belonged to me, for to sell. She came down the yard, and tried to prevent me from taking the pigeons away. We struggled, and I threw her down ; and I left her lying in the yard when we came out." Before the magistrates he repeated this statement, and called God to witness the truth of the asseverations. Only sufficient evidence was taken before the magistrates to justify a remand, and the coroner's inquest has been adjourned to afford time for a post- mortem ex amination. The accused is a spare-built man, with intellectual but not good-tempered features. ruler 4d. STAMPED sd. Major Kerr, R.E., has also inspected the regiment of the Leeds Volunteer Engineers, and reported that be could give to the War-office a most favourable and satisfactory report, but he hoped in future inspections to see them form a barrel bridge and throw up earthworks. The inspecting officer was heartily cheered. A grand ball has been liehl at Jancouski's Hotel, Scarborough, in aid of the funds of the 3d North York Artillery Volunteers. Upwards of 150 ladies and gentlemen attended. The 6th North York Volunteers have concluded their prize shooting with the following contests :—The trades men's prizes of £l5, in 14 divisions, were mainly won by five shots at 500 and 600 yards, by Corporal S. Darling, 29; Sergeant Goodrick, 28; Colour- Sergeant Dove, 30 ; Corporal Walmsley, Private Bland, and others. Sergeant Dove, though scoring highest, was precluded by the regulations from taking either first or second prize. Sergeant Good rick obtained the highest scorers' prize at 500 yards, and Private Bland at 600 yards. The Ist East York Rifles and the Ist. East York Artillery have shot a match, carbine v. rifle, at three distances, at each range five rounds. Colour-Sergeant Balmer, Sergeant Collinshaw, and Private Beckwith repre sented the rifles, and won with an aggregate of 157.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. ~--- Last week opened with a fine breezy day, cooler, and with fresh wind from the north-west ; night very fine, bright and moonlight. Monday was also line, and quite autumnal. Wind N.N. W. to N. ; thermometer, 62 deg. ; barometer, 30.20 inches. Much harvest work was got through in prime order in the northern counties. Tuesday continued fine and breezy, with a lower temperature. Wind from the N.N.E., with a very high barometer, up to 30.40 inches, occasionally cloudy, but much corn carried in the northern districts. At 11 p.m. a smart shower was experienced. Our advices on that day stated, from Norfolk : " The weather since Wednesday last has been changeable, with a good deal of rain at nights. Some amount of grain is still unsecured in the fen districts." From Suffolk : " Harvest is con cluded, with the yield of crops generally unfavour ably spoken of." From Northumberland : " The weather was fine up to Wednesday, since then we have had heavy showers of rain every day, except yesterday. To-day it was showery and cold: wind N.E." On Wednesday the weather held up, after some rain in the past night. Our advices were as follow —from the west coast of Scotland : " A change to fine weather here, which somewhat affects trade, and it was more quiet." From the east coast it was stated, "In all the lower districts of the country the harvest is now general, and much grain has been cut during the past week, which we are glad to re port has been most favourable ; little or nothing is yet carted." Thursday was a breezy day, cloudy at times, but with no rainfall, and the northern dis tricts pushed forward their harvest work vigorously. Our advices ran thus from Warwickshire—" With the exception of Saturday evening last (when for a short time rain came down in torrents), the weather has been fine since Thursday last, and favourable for completion of the harvest. Barley, peas, beans, and oats may, perhaps, be considered an average crop, but the deficiency in the yield of wheat is now an undoubted fact ; it is therefore useless for others to endeavour to disguise it, and to the sharp night frosts when the wheat was in bloom may be attributed the cause." From Suf folk, near the coast : "Although harvest in this dis trict is over, and almost forgotten, our supplies of all grain still continue of the most meagre kind. Friday was cloudy and breezy, but no rain fell." Our advices from the East Riding of Yorkshire were: "The weather has on the whole been favour able this week for harvest work, so that the crops are now nearly all secured in this part of the coun try." From the West Riding it was stated : " I was out in the country again yesterday, and found the harvest neatly completed; but the yield of wheat disappoints our farmers very much. One tenant who expected 60 load (of three bushels) off six acres, only got 36 loads; another who expected 70 loads off eight acres, only got 45 loads (being only two and seven-eighths quarters per acre). Some barley has, however, yielded five quarters per acre. We have had no rain since last Saturday night, but the weather has been very cold, with the wind from the north and north-east." From the neighbourhood of Wisbcach our advices run thus : " Since my last the weather has been variable, but on the whole dry, and suitable for gathering the crops of beans and potatoes in good order, as well as for the small portion of grain remaining out. On Monday, in the marsh land districts of Norfolk and Cambridge shire, some wheat and oats remained out, but they will no doubt be got up by this time, and thrashing is now proceeding more rapidly. Complaints of the short yield continue, but here and there a fair num ber of quarters is admitted to be got, but the weight is lighter than in good years." From Cambridge to Newmarket and Ipswich : "Of course, all grain is cleared from the fields, and the colour of the stubble and stacks is a contrast to the fen country, where all was so fiat on the country. Turnips continue to improve, and seem plentiful, as well as manaroldh and green, o this route, and pastures are generally fresh green, so that sheep and cattle are doing well." Saturday was a fair day, with a shift of wind to the north-west and south-west. Much harvest work was accomplished, and on the whole during the week great progress has been made up to Scotland inclu sive.—lllark-lane Express of yesterday.

IRONWORKERS' DEMONSTRATIO2 yesterday a demonstration of ironworkers took place at Brierley-hill, in South Staffordshire, which is the seat of the executive of the Ironworkers' Association of the South. For some time past there has been a difference of opinion amongst the two associations as to whether they should form one union with two working heads, or 'whether they should have separate organisations. The demon stration yesterday seemed not only to be intended to evince a disposition on the part of the Southern Union to combine with the north in a somewhat more complete manner than heretofore, but it ap peared also to be intended as a protestation against the excesses that have been exposed at Sheffield an 4 Manchester, and a declaration in support of the prin ciples of legitimate unionism. The proceedings con sisted of the usual perambulation of the district with bands of music and banners, finishing up with the holding of a meeting in the Public Hall of Brierley bill. The chair was taken by Mr. C. Allkins, the hon. president of the Southern Union. The first resolution was framed so as to form a declaration in support of unionism, which the meeting believed to be alike favourable to employers and employed, and to be promotive of a "good feeling" on both sides. Afterwards it was proposed by Mr. W. Hobson, general secretary, seconded by Mr. T. Ruiner, treasurer, and supported by Messrs. T. Cooper and D. Dunn, " That this meeting deeply regrets that any body of trade unionists should be found to be so base and wicked as to allow such a system of notorious crime to exist in their societies as those brought before the world by the commissioners of inquiry into the trade outrages of Sheffield and Man. chester. And we express our unanimous indigna tion, horror, and abhorrence at the startling revela tions of crimes perpetrated by Broadhead and other members of the Sawgrinders' Society, Sheffield, and the Brickmakers' Union, Manchester. And we further solemnly declare that we consider the charges brought against trade societies as a rule, by a certain class of writers, in consequence of the fiendish actions of those two small trade unions, both malicious, and written for a special purpose to sink the reputation of working men's unions in the eyes of the public in general; consequently we re pudiate the charges that have been made by all such writers with scorn and contempt." Lastly, it was proposed by Mr. E. Harris, seconded by Mr. G. Lound, and supported by Messrs. Dunn and Thomp son, " That this meeting deems it expedient to state that we have for some time been fully sensible of the requisite necessity which time and progress have developed for the efficienciand stability of the South and North Ironworkers' Associations, and we do hereby declare that we are prepared to enter into such arrangements with our northern brethren as will henceforth bring about a confederation, on condition that they will give a pledge to us to renounce the services of a professional president, whose office we consider a mere sinecure." The meeting was enthusiastic throughout. IRISH POETS. In every age Ireland has presented to the world men gifted as orators and poets, and it gives us sincere pleasure to be able to point to D. F. McCarthy, of Dublin, as one of the sweetest of living poets in the English language. Ms genius has been long appreciated by his fellow-country men, and is now, we are happy to say, gaining for him a world-wide reputation. He has lately received a letter from the American poet, Long fellow, which is most generous on the part of the writer, and must be truly gratifying to the author of the " Mysteries of Corpus Christi," which new poem, from the pen of Mr. McCarthy, has called forth the following high testimonial from one of the first writers of the age. Long fellow's letter has been just sent us for publica tion, and we cheerfully give it a place in our co- LUMTIS :- "Nahant, n.

LETTER FROM GEORGE SAND Madame George Sand, in the preface to a romance which she is now publishing, in the Revue des Deux Morales, under the title of " Cadio," relates an epi sode of the days of the June insurrection, which has created a good deal of talk at Paris. The passage in question was reproduced by some journals and commented upon by others. Amongst the latter are the Nain Jaune and the Soleil, and a Govern ment prosecution has commenced against them. On this subject Madan:e Saud writes to the Liberte of yesterday as follows.:— I hear with the greatest surprise that some journalists are threatened with actions for having extracted a fragment from the preface to the romance of " Cadio," of which lam the author. If this passage is dangerous, which I do not believe, why are those who quoted it more blameable than she who wrote it?. Will it be said that in relating an historical fact, hitherto untold, there is any wish to revive slumbering hatreds? In reading the whole of the preface, and the whole of the romance of " Cadio," it is easy to see that the object of the work is diametrically opposed to such an intention ; that the author is, as it were, withdrawn from her work in order to let history speak, and history proves that the holiest causes are often lost when men are carried away by the delirium of vengeance. If horror of cruelty, from whatever side, has ever pained and troubled a human soul, I may say that the romance of " Cadio" is rent from that wounded spirit, and that the author, to preserve her faith, has had to struggle against the terrible spectre of the past. It is impossible to study certain epochs and to visit the spots where certain atrocious scenes took place, without being tanpted to pro scribe the spirit of contest and to aspire for peace at any price. But " peace at any price" is a delusion; and what is gained by cowardice is but a ferocious destruction which refuses even the miserable benefit of a lingering death. It is not, then, by the sacri fice of human dignity that one will ever be enabled to secure rest ; it is by free discussion, and by that alone, that men can be fitted to engage in social struggles without feeling a horrible wish to cut each other's throats. Let discussion be really established in order that it may become impartial. Every stifling of thought, every effort to suppress truth, will raise storms, and the storms will sooner or later sweep away those who provoke them. Shall it be said that we must not seek in a too recent past the teachings of history ? Where, then, shall we find them better adapted to the need we have of profiting by them ? Is it the Greeks or the Ro mans who will reveal to us the dangers and hopes of our future? Their historic course and the philoso phic idea of their destiny are not applicable to us; and, moreover, it is always in the experience of his own life that man finds power to conquer himself or to develope himself. Wby should a Government that sprung from our most recent struggles, the revolu tions of 1789 and 1848, take part for or against the actors in a drama in two parts, both of which have been profitable to it ? And then, beware of perse cutions against history, for in wishing to hinder what she might do, you would do it yourselves with a publicity, an éclat, and a noise which we have not at our command. No one can cherish a hope of suppressing the past. God himself would not be able to undo it. What purpose was served by the desperate persecutions of the Restoration against you, gentlemen, who are now in power ? They did you the service of making you victims, and leading to you the liberalism of that epoch. Make, then, no victims, unless you wish not to turn us into friends. Leave history to create itself by means of discus sion and teaching, by polemics and literature : thus only will she unfold herself with the calm which you prescribe. Do not compel her to be unuttered save when supported by her terrible armoury of proofs. There would be too much of this, and you would youroolves be terrified a t +l,. to which the present has placed in reserve for the future. history would make itself too quickly, and we are the first to wish that it may come at its own time, like every serious addition to human knowledge.

LABOUCHERE. Naval and Military Intelligence. Yesterday a troop of the 15th hussars, com manded by Capt. Mansell; arrived at Windsor from Aldershot. The men and horses were billetted in the town, and this morning will leave for Norwich, where the headquarters of the regiment will at present be stationed. The three batteries of Royal Artillery belonging to the sth Brigade some time under orders at Wool wich for India are to embark on board her Majesty's iron troopship Serapis, Capt. John C. Soady, on the sth proximo. The strength of each battery is 80 of all ranks, including GO gunners. The tenders issued by the India Board for the manufacture of the new pack saddles for the Abys sinian campaign have been accepted by the follow ing accoutrement and harness contractors :—Messrs. Tibbetts and Co., Bryant and Co., and Ross and Co., of Bermondsey, to whom patterns have been supplied from the department of the Superintendent of Stores at Woolwich. The two batteries of moun tain steel guns and their entire equipment will be ready for shipment at Woolwich, it is stated, at the end of the present week. One of the batteries is complete, and has withstood the proof test with 71oz. of powder exceedingly well, as also the extreme range fired at, 2,500 yards. They are made from patterns, five in number, which have been in the sealed pattern room of the Royal gun factories at Woolwich about two years, and were intended for service in India. The present guns, however, are considerably reduced in weight, the pattern guns weighing 14 cwt., and the Abyssinian guns 1501 b. each. The blocks of steel were supplied by Mr. Firth, of Newcastle. The bright, silvery appear ance of these toy-looking guns, with their destruc tive capabilities, even at long range, are looked on by admiring visitors with curiosity and interest. They are rifled on what is termed the French prin ciple—namely, three grooves. An order was yesterday received at Chatham gar rison directing an additional party of non- commis sioned officers and orderlies of the Army Hospital Corps to proceed from Fort Pitt, in readiness for embarkation with the detachments of the corps about proceeding with the Abyssinian Expedition. The general court martial engaged on the trial of private Michael Nash, Ist battalion Bth Regiment, re-assembled at Chatham yesterday, under the pre sidency of Col. R. Crofton, and was occupied the whole day in hearing additional evidence for the prosecution. The War Department store vessel Helena, Mr. Moors, master in charge, laden with three 121-ton guns, 60 tons of stores from the Tower, consisting of arms, camp equipage, and other stores, sailed yesterday from Woolwich Arsenal for Portsmouth ; and the Thames, Mr. Hornsey, master, commenced discharging shot and shell from Chatham and Upnor Castle at Woolwich, landed from her Majesty's ships of the line ordered from foreign stations.

The unarmoured screw steamer Trafalgar, 72, 2,900 tons, 500 horse power (nominal), attached to the steam reserve in the Medway, is undergoing a thorough overhaul and refit, both inboard and aloft, previously to being again placed in commission. It is understood that she is intended to be stationed at one of the Irish ports. The screw frigate Forte, 29, 2,364 tons, 400 horse power, unarmoured, belonging to the steam reserve in the Medway, has been removed into the steam basin for the purpose of being taken in hand, and brought forward for the pennant.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TOMS. Sir,—l trust that your sense of justice will cause you to insert this letter in your columns. lam not about to reply to or to discuss the article you have deemed it proper to write in relation to my conduct. I am anxious only t o p l ace some facts before your readers ; the inferen ces f rom t h em 1 must leave to be drawn by those w h o rea d t h em . While walking on th e K ursa al-terrac3 in this watering-place I saw an Ita li an , named Farina, sitting at the sam e t a bl e, and appa rently in conver sation with three A mer i can la di e s, who were fre quently together. O ne of them was well known to me. When she l e ft t h e group an d, with her hus band, approached me , I knowing Farina to b e an unfit associate for honest men or virtuo us women, felt it to be my d u t y to warn h er a gainst him. This caution was commu n i cated by t h e lady to her friends. , The natural effect of it soon became apparent to Farina. He appealed first personally to the lady's husband, and then b y l etter. Th e only reply which he received from thi s gent l ema n was that he was ready to accept the responsib i l i ty o f anything that 1 his wife had said. S o soon as I hear d what had taken place I told my fri en d that b y n o code of honour could a gentleman m eet Farina, an d that, as I has made the accusatio n , I • felt that I alo n e ou g ht to maintain it, and alo ne t ake upon m y s elf the respon. sibility of my opinio n respecting the impossibility of a duel. In the ev en i ng I saw Farina, and told him that his applicati on for redress ought to be to me. I was met by loud words and a menacing attitude. As I had no wish to be a party to a per sonal altercation, I contented myself with prevent ing his menace being carried into execution. The whole affair did not last a minute, for the spectators, as was natural, interfered. He says he horse whipped me. It is simpl y witnesses, Count Rocourt an d C oun t Miraglia. The former has left; the latte r h as a dd resse d to me a— letter, in which he says : u ntrue. He cites two " I have the honour to inform you that I never authorised Farina to make the use he did of my name, and I have written to him to complain of this proceeding." Here my part in the affair ends. I made no appeal to the police. They app ea l e d t o m c. A promise was sought from me that I would not molest Farina ; I gave it, and have kept it. There were others, however, Englishmen and foreigners, who of their own motion did communicate to the police their views of Farina's character. It was upon this information, since confirmed, as they in formed me to-day, by communications from the police of France and Belgium, that the authorities here acted. It was no act of mine that caused Farina to be excluded from the Rursaal. I did not ' l or dI haveknowledgeappliedthat the power of to the police, for l apply, p had y , n noro thought o a exclusion was exeteised by them. Indeed, when I heard that be had been excluded I told the Commis sary that I trusted this was not done on my account, as I could take care of myself, when he replied that the measure had been taken on other grounds. Such being the case, am I not right in saying that there are only three matters in relation to which I have to be judged by my constituents and the rest of my countrymen ? Did Ido well in warning a lady with whom I was acquainted in relation to Farina's character? Secondly, was the warning made on sufficient grounds? And, thirdly, have I shown myself deficient in personal courage ? We are all liable to form erroneous judgments, and mine possibly might have been wrong. I acted in giving the warning I did from the sense of duty incumbent on a gentleman. If to-day I had to act in this matter again, I should do as I have done. Doubtless I am wrong if I cannot prove the charge j I ma d e , w hi c h was (it was not rightly translated iu 7HE VOLUNTEERS. On various days in last week the different com panies of the West London Rifles, commanded by Lord Truro, competed at the Staines Moor range for a valuable selection of prizes. The weather was not conducive to good shooting, the wind being variable, at times blowing half a gale, the light constantly changing, and with heavy rain occasionally, which prevented any remarkable scores from being made. The arrangements were under the direction of Major Woodall and Sergeant J. W. Whitehead, hon. sec. of the regimental shooting committee, aided by Captain and Adjutant Jones, &c. The following are the more important prizes :—No. 1 Company, —The Graham Challenge Cup, value 20 guineas, won by Sergeant Ashwell with 41 marks. No. 3 Company,—The company's Challenge Cup, won by Captain Woodall with 40 marks ; a gold wedding ring and keeper, open to bachelors only, the winner, if not married within the year, to hand the prize over for competition at the next annual meeting, won by Captain Woodall with 28 marks. No. 4 Company—A Company Challenge Cup, value ten guineas, woa by Sergeant Annison with 43 marks. No. 6 Company—A Challenge Cup, value 15 guineas, won by Captain Minnoch with 45 marks. No. 7 Company—A silver Challenge Cup, value 20 guineas, won by Colour-Sergeant Bulstrode with 28 marks. The annual shooting of the West Cornwall Bri gade of Artillery Volunteers took place at the Pen zance range on Thursday, on which occasion the weather was very favourable. The prizes amounted to about £4O. The ranges were 100, 206, and 300 yards, live rounds at each distance. The chief fea ture of interest was the Battery Prize, for which ten batteries competed ; St. Ives came off victorious, with an aggregate score which averaged 38 . 9 per man ; Fowey was next, with an average of 37.7. The highest individual scores were made by Gunner Burgess, of Hayle, and Gunner Gilbert, of 'Ruyan, to each of whom was awarded £5. On Friday, the 20th, the Cornwall (St. Just) Rifles competed for a splendid silver cup. Corporal Trounson was the winner, with a score of 43 at 200, 500, and 600 yards, five rounds at each range. A match between 10 members belonging to the Ist Bucks (Marlow) Rifles orps v. 3d Berks (New bury) Volunteers was ot at the range of the Newbury Volunteers on Friday, when the wind blew strongly from the left, and the shooting on the part of some of the competitors was not so good as usual. The ranges were 200, 500, and 600 yards, seven shots at each distance, and the contest re sultel in a victory for the Berkshire men by 23 points, the total scores being—Newbury, 463 ; Marlow, 440. The Ist North York Artillery Volunteers have been inspected at Redcar, including eight batteries, formed by the Middlesborough, Eston, and Redcar Volunteers. The inspecting officer was Colonel Cox, Commander of Artillery in the Northern Divi sion, who was attended by Captain Challoner, the commanding officer. The five divisions were com manded by Captains Thompson, Pennyman, Steven son, Rudd, and Hill. The movements were executed very creditably, and Colonel Cox expressed himself highly pleased, except at the muster, which did not amount to 260 men. The whole force afterwards dined with the reviewing officer. In like wanner Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vo ls., H TE GIRAFFE lIUNTERS.
