There is no change to report in the General Dis count Market ; few first class bills are on offer, and brokers and others have a redundancy of capital u nemployed; The rates current are 11 to 1 per cent. At the bullion office of the Bank of England yesterday there was a withdrawal of 40,000 sove reigns. The silver market is unaltered. The Suffolk has arrived from Melbourne with gold to the amount of £285,000. A meeting of the Spanish Passive Bondholders has been held, and resolutions proposed to address the Stock Exchange Committee and the various Bourses of the continent, requesting them not to allow Spanish Stocks to be dealt in or quoted until some satisfactory arrangement has been carried into effect. A meeting has been announced to take place to morrow of the: Committee of Certificate-holders, to consider the measures to be taken in consequence of the refusal of the trustees to hand over the books and counterfoils at the London and County Bank. At the fi rs t or di nary genera l meeting (of the National Bank of India the report of the directors stated that it was found impracticable to carry out the arrangement with the Scinde, Punjaub, and Delhi Bank, and the realised capital had been re turned to the shareholders ; the National Bank of India had received their commission of £3,875, .aud the agreement had been sancelled. It was thought desirable to call a meeting of the National Bank at Calcutta, and resolutions were carried to the effect,. that the National Bank of India under the Indian Company's Act should be wound up, and the busi ness transferred to the English Company from the 30th Juno last. The directors of the Indian In stitution have declared a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent., and a bonuS of 1 per cent., being equal to 8 per cent. per annum.

Account, Oct. 8 THE ALTON MURDERER. A paragraph copied from the Law Times has been going the round of the press, suggesting that the young mau named James Longhurst recently executed for the murder of a little girl at Shere, in Surrey, last year, was innocent, and that in all likelihood Frederick Baker, now lying in Win chester Cracl, chargei with the late murder at Alton, is the real culprit. On examination this appears to be a mere random supposition based upon a very imperfect knowledge of the facts con nected with the murder at Shore. It is stated by the writer that the whole of the evidence upon which Longhurst was executed was slight, and that his identity was by no means satisfactorily established. No such belief exists in the locality which was the scene of the murder. When the little girl Jane Sex was raised from the ground by a man named Edsar, the first attracted to the spot by her cries, she pointed to Longhurst, who was running away, as the "boy" who had attacked her. A short time afterwards she again identified him in the surgery of Mr. Capron, at Shore, and she identified him for the third time when her dying deposition was taken at the Royal Surrey County Hospital. But the facts which tended to criminate Longhurst did not rest wholly upon identification. When apprehended there was blood upon his hands, and also upon a clasp knife found in his possession. He lay in gaol some months previous to taking his trial, yet in all that time he never once attempted to deny the crime with which he was charged, but made several remarks which might be interpreted as almost tacit confessions. When told that his victim was dead he asked what would be done to him, and upon being asked, in turn, if he knew what was the usual punishment for murder, he said he did, and that it was hanging. Subsequently he told a constable who had charge of him that he did not think that punish ment would be his, because the little girl had lived BO long after the injuries. There can be no doubt as to his guilt, and none as to his having been a per fectly accountable being, although of a low order of intelligence. On the other hand, nothing but the accidental similarity of the Alton and the' Shere murders can be found to suggest that Baker was the murderer in both cases, and this unjustifiable supposition may be at once dismissed by the une quivocal testimony of numerous persons that on the day of the Shore murder the present wretched inmate of Winchester gaol was miles away from the spot. LIVERPOOL COTTON .111ARKE1—This Day. , r---~ Market opens quietly, prices rather irregular. Sales probably 10,000 bales. PENALTY FOR SELLING DISEASED FRUIT.—On Saturday Richard Rilott, fruiterer, of Sheffield, was charged with selling three baskets of plums unfit for food, The case was proved, and the Mayor inflicted a fine of £lO and costs. CONSERVATISM AT COVENTRY.—The Conserva tives of Coventry and the neighbourhood intend to dine to gether at the Corn Exchange, in that city, on Thursday, Oct. 24, to celebrate the passing of the Reform Bill, and to express their approval of the domestic and foreign policy of Lord Derby's Government. The chair will bo taken by the Right Hon. C. B. Adderley, 11. P.—Coventry Standard. At the instance of Sir Roderick Murchison, the Government have resolved to send out a geographer, a geologist, and a naturalist, with the Abyssinian expedition. The Government, in maki ng th e i r prepara ti on s for this expedition, have also derived valuable assistance from the accumulated information of the Geographical Society. — Pall Mall Gazette. DEATII OE MR. F. G. TomuNs. --The intelli gence of the decease of this well known journalist, who, after a short illness, expired on Saturday n ight, in his sixty-third year, will be rece i v ed in those literary circles where he was so widely known and so greatly esteemed with a profound feeling of regret. Mr. Frederick Guest Tomlin; who had for nearly half a century been intimately connected with the newspaper and periodical press, was a gentleman of high attainments, especially versed in the older dramatic literature of this country, and of a vivacity of temperament that rendered his company eagerly sought by those who had the privilege of his acquaintance. He was for many years the secretary of the Shakspere Society and at the time of his death he held the clerkship of the Painter-Stainers' Company, Little Trinity-lane, an office which members of his family had honourably filled for more than a century. COCKROACHES V. HEDGEHOGS.—I have - tried hedgehogs to kill beetles; they don't act. A hedgehog cannot possibly hold above a pint of beetles at a time, and in my kitchen there are gallons of them. I once tried the hedgehog plan at tho Deanery, Westminster. The first night after his arrival the Abbey watchman was frightened out of his wits—it was the hedgehog. The next night, fast asleep, I felt a cold nose on my face, and then a prickly thing trying to get into the bed—it was the hedgehog. The next night the servants came trembling to say there was a burglar in the dining room, rattling the plate —it was the hedgehog. The next night the cook put some soup away, and in the morning the soup was gone—the hedgehog was found coiled up asleep in the tureen. The next night nothing was heard of the hedgehog, and for weeks we could not tell where he was gone; the cook was thankful, and the crickets sang, 0, be joyful, while the blackboetles had free run of the kitchen. " Years rolled on," as the novelists have it, and a skeleton was discovered in the flue, which had smoked the whole of the house olt have for w seen • tho last The hedgehog again. Thank goodness , wretch, and never wish to have another of his ki dunon the premises. Unless, therefore , my friends wish to the chance of a hedgehog becoming the same pest to them as ho was to me, they will never introduce thorn into their houses. Hedgehogs will only eat a certain number of beetles, and the bottles having good spawning ground be hind the kitchen range, breed much faster than the hedge hog can eat.—FitANK DUCKLAND, in Land and Water. SUSPICIOUS CRAFT IN TRALEE BAT. —Her Majesty's gunboat Sepoy has arrived in Tralee Bay, and remains moored off the Samphire Island. Report states that the Sepoy has been sent down to watch the movements of a suspicious craft alleged to have been seen hovering about Kerry Head, and which, it is conjectured, has on board a large quantity of arms for Fenian purposes.—Cork Examiner.

OLD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) Jacob Henry Cohen, picture-frame maker, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering an order for the pay ment of .£1 ls. with intent to defraud. The evidence wont to show that the prisoner was em ployed in the manufacture of picture frames, which, on completion, ho sold to the London Stereoscopic Com pany, Cheapsido. The circumstance which led to the prisoner's apprehension was, that early in the month of July a bill for the payment of the amount charged in the indictment was presented by him to the cashier of the company, and it appearing to bear the genuine initials of Mr. R'ed, the manager, it was paid. It was shortly afterwards digcuvered to bo a forgery, and also that the goods charged fur had not been supplied. Ur. Reed at once communicated with Mr. Nuttage, one of the principals of the establishment, wh ) directed that the p isoner should bo given into custody and prosecuted. One of the witnesses named Ileild swore that he had seen the prisoner making copies of Mr. it)ed's initials, and another witnesa named Bannister spoke to the conversation which took place at the Dolphin public-house, Milk-street, where the prisoner was taken into custody. The defence set up was a total denial of the forgery, and further, the counsel on behalf of the prisoner stated he should call several witnesses to prove that the initials to the bill wore not forgeries, that Iteed had signed the bill himself, and that, therefore, the whole prosecution was a deep laid scheme of Reed's to prevent the discovery of his own deficiencies. The witness was subjected to a cross-examination by Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution. The following withesses were then examined on the part of the prisoner : David Cohen said ha was the brother of the prisoner, and that he knew Mr. Reed. Ile spoke of being present when three maple frames and 12 others were ordered by Mr. Reed, and also that he was present after that—one evening in a publichouse opposite the Ludgate Station in Bridge-street, where he saw Reed sign the invoice for the sum of £1 ls. On another occasion he took a letter to Mr. Reed at the Stereoscopic Company, and after Mr. Reed had opened it ho saw him put his initials to the invoice which the letter contained; he returned it to him, telling Lim to direct his brother to attend for payment on the following day. Those two invoices form the ground of the present prosecution, the allegation of Mr. Reed being that nothing of the kind ever took place. The case was proceeding when we went to press. THE FORGERIES ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND. The grand jury have returned seven true bills against William Henry Hodgson for forgeries on the Bank of England. TEE MURDER IN TEE KENT ROAD. The trial of Louis Bordior for the murder of Mary Ann Snow will take place to-morrow before Mr. Baron Martin. The prosecution will bo conducted by the Treasury, but as no counsel has yet been retained by the prisoner it appears to be the impression that he will plead guilty. In such cases the Court inva riably impresses the prisoner with the awful con sequences of such a proceeding, and advises the full hearing of the evidence the prosecution intend to bring forward to prove the charge. In the event, however, of the prisoner persisting in his plea of guilty there is no power to prevent him doing so. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PLUCKING FLOWERS IN HYDE-PAILK. —Alice Smith, a young woman, address refused, was charged with plucking flowers in Hyde-park. A policeman said that last night he saw the prisoner in one of the flower beds busily engaged in plucking flowers, which she dropped as soon as sho saw witness. She offered to give him whatever ho liked if ho would not take her to the police station. The prisoner had nothing to say in her defence. Mr. Tyrwhitt said tho prisoner was ono of thoso mis chievous persons who must be restrained. Tho business of that court was much increased by persons who did mis chief iu the park. The prisoner would have to pay 5s or four days, and he wished to give notice that for the future the fine for the offence would be 40s or a month. ATTEMPTING TO 11011 RAILWAY VANS.— George Vial, 17, Frederick William; 15, and Jams Brougham, 14, .were charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, as suspected persons loit tering iu Piccadilly, supposed for the purpose of committing felony. The prisoners -.sere seen by Philip Shrives, a plain clothes' officer of the 0 Division, following railway vans evidently for the purpose of robbing, and ho then took them into custody. Mr. Tyrwkitt committed the prisoners for three months each with hard labour. The boys charged with stone-throwing in Hyde-park wore fined 2s 6d each. WESTMINSTER. OVER HEAD AND EARS IY TROUBLE.—James Boazley, alias Lorn, about 22, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of a horse and cart. A constable proved finding the prisoner in Chelsea last night, driving a horse and cart ; ho was so drunk that the public were endangered. Prisoner admitted the drunkenness. It was stated that there was a charge against him of stealing the horse and cart, and another constable from the body of the court said there was a charge against the pri soner of being a deserter from the Royal Engineers. Mr. Selfe said he had got into a great amount of trouble at any rate. Henry Lorn, the owner of the horse and cart, said yesterday afternoon he went to Brompton Cemetery to the funeral of the prisoner's mother, and left the horse and cart outside. When the ceremony was over ho went out side and found the horse and cart wore gone. Ho had seen the prisoner at the funeral, but did not observe any drun kenness. The horse and cart were not seen again until he found them in possession of the police. Prisoner said he had nothing whatever to say to the charge. It was here stated that Sergeant Griffiths, R.E., bad been in attendance, but was unable to remain, as he was on duty. Sergeant Morgan, 3 B, said this was the second desertion. Lorn said he had boon a bricklayer, then a sweep, then had boon in the army, and then ho had been away from it, and then he had taken the horse and cart. Prisoner was remanded until Saturday. 105 106 63 6i 96 08 3• PI& 8i 11 no I 111 , 64 66 109 112 55 67 43 45 70 71 8 10 143 148 COLONIAL GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.

It may be remembered that on the eve of his de parture his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, desiring to mark his sense of the magnificent reception given by the Corporation of Loadon, and of the generous welcome afforded him by the inhabitants of the me tropolis generally, forwarded to the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House the sum of £2,500 to be distri • buted among the poor at the -discretion of his Lord ship. Yesterday the Lord Mayor, from the bench of the justice room, took occasion to announce how he, as the almoner of the Sultan in that particular instance, meant to apportion the bounty of his Im perial Majesty, and he invited the representatives of the press to aid him in making it known, as a matter in which the public might possibly feel interested. So extremely numerous, he said, had been the ap plications to him to participate in the benevolence of his Imperial Majesty that he had found it im possible to make such an investigation of the merits of each case as would insure a proper distribution of the fund, and he had, therefore, resolved to bestow the money upon such of the charitable institutions in the metropolis as seemed to him most likely to be in a position to give practical effect to the intentions of the Sultan. With that view he (the Lord Mayor) proposed to give to the 15 Poor Boxes in the city and metropolitan police courts £5O each, making £l5O ; the Jewish B oar d o f G ua rdians, £lO O ; the Convalescent Home (M rs . Gl a dstone), £ 5O ; New port Market Refuge 150 ; St. Giles' R e f uge ; (Boys), .£5O ; S.

A PICKPOCKET AT A RAILWAY STATION.—William Ball, aged 21, who is also known as John Manning and William Harrod, was brought before Mr. Benson on remand charged with stealing a gold ring, value 305., and lls. in money, from the person of Elizabeth Cox, a servant of Snares brook, in Essex. The prosecutor was at the Stepney railway station a few days ago waiting for a train, and felt a hand in her pocket on the right side. She put her hand in her pocket and missed her purse. It contained lls. and a gold ring. She seized the prisoner by the arm and said, " You have taken my purse." The prisoner said, "No ; I have not. You are mistaken." A porter of the Great Eastern Railway came up and took the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr. Benson the witness said the prisoner was close to me on my right-hand side when I missed the purse. I had just put it in my pocket. No other person was near me. 1 saw him leave my side directly 1 missed ray purse, which he handed to a confederate. The officers of the Great Eastern Railway Company offered me every assistance. Police Sergeant Dillon, 19 K, said the prisoner was a most incorrigible thief, and when out of prison lived in that most horrible court, named John's-place, Stepney, which was full of thieves. Francis Langford, police-constable, No. 288 K, said that the prisoner had been convicted at the Middlesex Sessions and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment and hard labour. He had been convicted for robberies at other railway sta tions on both sides of the river. Mr. Benson committed the prisoner for trial. THE GREAT SHIP RACE FROM CHINA This year's race has proved quite as extraorli nary as that of last year. The Taepiug, it seems, is not the winner after all, the Ariel, 853 tons, having arrived yesterday morning in the East India Docks in about five hours less time than that in which the journey was accomplished by the Taeping. The Ariel sailed from Foo-chow-foo on the 13th of June at half-past 8 o'clock in the morning, while the Taeping sailed nine days previously at 11 o'clock in the morning, arriving in the, London Docks between 2 and 3 o'clock p.m. on Saturday week last, the 14th. The number of days from the 4th of June to the 14th of September is 102. The Ariel was pre• cisely the same number of days on her voyage, but arriving in the East India Docks at 7 o'clock yes terday morning she was the winner of the race by about five hours. It has been asserted that the Taeping was the winner in the last year's race. It is quite true that both she and the Ariel came up the Channel neck and neck, but the Ariel got in advance of her in coming up the river and was the first to arrive off Blackwell. In consequence, however, of there not being suffi cient depth of water at the Dock entrance she could not be hauled into the Dock and had to wait till next tide, while the Taeping passed her and suc ceeded in getting into the London Docks the mo ment she came up to them, and thus claimed the prize. Both ships were built at Greenock in the same year. Lloyd's Register of Shipping furnishes the fol lowing details respecting them :—They were both built on the composite principle—iron frames and teak planking. The Ariel is 853 tons, 197 ft. 4in. in length, 33ft. gin. in breadth of beam, and 2ft. depth of hold ; classed A 1 for 14 years. The Taeping is 767 tons register, 183 ft. 7in. in length, 31ft. in breadth of beam, and 19ft. gin. in depth of hold, and also similarly classed. Of the 11 other ships engaged in the race, two—the Fiery Cross, which sailed the day after the Taeping, and the Maitland, which was the first ship out from Foo chow-foo, passed through the Downs in the course of yesterday afternoon, and were expected to arrive in the river last night; the remainder of the vessels are the Serica, White Adder, Zibi, Teasing, Flying Spur, Black Prince, Yangtze, Chinaman, and the Golden Spur. The Arid, in her report of her recent speakings, passed the Black Prince, White Adder, Serica, and the Fiery Cross. Great as was the in terest evinced yesterday to learn the result of the race, another arrival from China completely put the Ariel and the Tacping in the shade as regards speed. This ship, however, was not in the race. She sailed from Shanghai on the 16th of. June, after the de parture of most of the ships engaged in the race, took what is termed the eastern passage, and arrived in the Downs yesterday morning just previous to the Ariel. The eastern route is considerably longer than that taken by the ships in the race ; yet she accomplished the voyage in 100 days. Her name is the Sir Launcelot, belonging to Greenock, 886 tons register, commanded by Capt. Robinson. She also was built on the Clyde, and her dimensions, measurement in deck, &c., are precisely the same as the Ariel. She spoke on her voyage three of the race ships—namely, the Chinaman, on the 3d of August, off Madagascar, as also the Yangtze; and on the 11th of August the Flying Spur, off Algoa Bay.

As I am innocently a main cause of that grossly misrepresented officer's originally falling under the Emperor's displeasure, it is due to him and the Bri tish nation that I should set matters right by stating the facts as they really occurred. Notwithstanding the repeated attempts to throw blame on Consul Cameron fur proceeding into the interior of Abyssinia, it is now an acknowledged fact that he was accredited to the Emperor Theo dore by Earl Russell's letter to that monarch of February 20, 1862, and that he went to his Court in pursuance of express instructions. On his ar rival there in October, 1862, he was most favour ably received, and in the beginning of November he left for the coast with the memorable letter to the Queen, the not replying to which ou the part of her Majesty's Government was one of the causes, though anything but the only cause, of the Emperor's displeasure. Having been prevented from reaching Massowah, Consul Cameron forwarded the Emperor's letter to Aden by two Abyssinians, and he himself went into the frontier province of Bogos. In doing so he is alleged not, merely to have acted contrary to instruc tions, but also to have incurred the displeasure of the Emperor. In both respects this is not the fact. The Christian inhabitants of Bogos had long been under the protection of the British Consul in Abys sinia, with the knowledge and approval of the Bri tish Government, and Consul Cameron, in follow ing in the footsteps of his predecessor, Consul Plowden, believed that he was acting according to orders. But since Plowden's death, in 1860, Egypt bad become a large cotton-growing country, and it would not do for England to quarrel with so valuable an ally for the sake of a paltry tribe of Abyssinian Christians. So Consul Cameron was blamed by Earl Russell for doing precisely that for which Consu:Plowden had been highly com mended by Lord Palmerston. Thus it is that in Earl Russell's most ill-timed despatch of October sth, 1865, to Colonel Stanton (which has far more to do do with the present lamentable war with Abyssinia than is imagined by any one except those few who know the facts) it is asserted that " Capt. Cameron in going to Bogos acted without orders, and incurred the displeasure of his own Govern ment." And more recently the policy of England with respect to Bogos has been declared by Lord Stanley, in his despateh to Colonel Stanton of De cember 15, 1866 (Blue-book, page 95), to be that " Her Majesty's Government do not feel themselves in any way called on to interfere in differences and disputes between native tribes residing respectively on the frontiers of Egypt and Abyssinia." Still this is no reason why Consul Cameron should have incurred the displeasure of the Emperor Theodore. On the contrary, his visit to Bogos was made in the cause of that monarch's Christian sub , jects, and in company with Samuel, the Emperor's steward, formerly my servant ; and had our Consul but returned direct from Bogos to the Emperor's Court, even though without an answer from the Queen, no harm could have ensued. For he had only to show that sufficient time had not elapsed for such answer to arrive. In fact, his own despatch of October 31, 1862, forwarding the Emperor's letter to the Queen, did not reach London till Feb. 12, 1863, and Lord Russell's answer to that despatch was dated April 22 ; so that when Consul Cameron returned to Gondar in June, 1863, and met the Emperor there in the following month, sufficient, or hardly sufficient, time had elapsed for Lord Russell's answer to reach him. It has nothing to do with the question as it then stood that in that answer the Emperor's letter to the Queen should have been totally ignored. Both Cameron and the Emperor expected a reply, and neither of them for a moment imagined that no reply would be sent. All, then, that Cameron had to do, had circumstances been favourable, was to account for the delay as above stated, which could not have failed to be satisfactory, especially as M. Bardel, who had left the Emperor's Court, with him in Novem ber, 1862, and had gone direct to Paris with a letter to the Emperor of the French, was not yet returned, and in fact did not return till September following. The real cause of Theodore's displeasure, then, was not so much that Consul Cameron returned in 1863, without the so anxio usl y -ex p ected an ti : e wer from the Queen, as that, instead of waiting first at Massowah, or at all events returning direct to'Bogos, he had been in the interval into neighbour ing Egyptian provinces, in the Emperor's own words, "He went to the Turks, who do not love me. . • He stayed with them some time and returned to me." The explanation of this is that while in Bogos with Samuel, Consul Cameron received from the Foreign-office a despatch containing certain corn. munications which, under the circumstances detailed in my work "The British Captives in Abyssinia," I had made to the Board of Trade in the months of November and December, 1862, respecting the ex pediency of adopting measures for the development of British commerce in Ethiopia, and which, as I was informed by the Secretary of that Board in a letter dated Jan. 10th, 1863, " had been referred by her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs for the reportof her Majesty's Consul at Massowah." In consequence of the orders thus conveyed to him Consul Cameron went into the Egyptian pro vinces of Taka and Kalabat, " to see about cotton, and trade, and so forth," as he wrote from Kedarif on May 25th, 1863, in a letter quoted in my said work, or, as he has since written from his prison at Magdala, in a letter dated the 13th of Nov., 1866, which has been duly recorded—" At Bogos I got a letter from the Foreign-office directing me to report on the comparative merits of Souakin and Mas sowah as the seat of a Consulate; also to report on the trade of Souakin. It was that which led me to go to the trading stations of Cassala and Matamma." This, then, is what the Emperor meant when he accused Cameron of " going to the Turks," and this it is that poor Cameron himself alludes to when he says, in his letter of the 25th of May', 1866, to Mr. Henry D. Seymour, M.P., printed in page 55 of the Abyssinian Blue-book—" I feel somewhat like the lad in the Arabian Nights,' who made his cheese-cakes with pepper, and found that in so doing he had committed a great political offence ?" I have thus shown what was Consul Cameron's primary offence. The neglect of the British Go vernment in reply to the Emperor's letter, the abandonment of the Christian Abyssinians at Jeru salem, and other grievances aggravated his displea sure, and led to the imprisonment of our Consul and the other Europeans. Still all this appeared to have been condoned on Mr. Rassain's arrival with a friendly letter from the Queen. What led to the subsequent imprisonment of her Majesty's E nvoy and the whole party is a totally different question. I regret to say that a letter from me, which ap peared in the Times on Sept. 14, 1865, by drawing forth Earl Russell's ill-advised despatch of Oct. 5 following, became, without any fault of mine, the primary cause of the misfortunes which have since ensued, as I purpose showing on another occasion. LONGEVITY IN ESSEX.—The death is announced, in the parish of St. Martin, Colchester, of Mrs. Anu Ram sey, widow, in her 104th year. It is au interLsting cir cumstance that she was the daughter of the celebrated navigator, Captain Cook, who was massacred by the natives of Owbyhee, in the South Sea Islands; and that she was barn only a few years after the accession of George 111. to the throne of England. HANGING A FENIAN.--A circumstance has just taken place in Barnsley which shows very strongly the feeling among the working classes on the subject of Fonianism. It appears that a young man in the employ of Messrs. G. J. Taylor and Son, manufacturers by steam power, declared to some of his fellow-workers in the warehouse that he was a Fenian, and that his sympathies were with the cause of those who had figured so conspicuously a few days ago in Manchester. This declaration had no sooner been made than a jury was empanelled, and the self-declared Fenian put upon his trial. He was found guilty and seutenci:d to be hanged. A rope was placed around his neck aul ho was drawn up and suspended in mid-air. After he had been hangiuga short dine he was cut down. The culprit had already gut black iu the face, and there was the mark of the rope upon his neck. The young men were taken be fore a tuagiarate and Ailed 10k. each.

JOHN CROSS, THE DORSETSIIIRE LABOURER, IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.—This labourer, who ob tained notoriety some time ago by being sent to prison on the charge of stealing a hurdle, has been adjudicated bank rupt. From his examinaton before Mr. Registrar Rawlins on Friday last, at Wimborne County Court, it appeared that soon after the public subscription commenced Cross began, in anticipation of the money likely to come to him, to be freer in the purchase of food and clothing for his family, which at the rate of Avagesto had been earning had been of the scantiest kind. The person who served him with provisions was a Mr. Jacobi, grocer, of Poole, whose bill was something over £2O. The bankrupt stated that Mr. Onslow supplied Lim with money to discharge some previous; liabilities, but afterwards sent the reinainckr of the money subscribed to the Daily Telegraph ; that it was subsequently sent back to Wimborne, and paid to the Rev. Messrs. Kemp and Plumptre and St. John Coventry, Esq., and had been put in a Wimborne bank. When the money was first sent down from the Daily Telegraph office, and before it was put in the bank, he (the bankrupt) asked Mr. Coventry for enough to pay for the provisions ho had had, but it was refused. lie wished to have paid what he owed. He had since been told that the money subscribed had been settled by a deed, but he had never seen the deed, and he bad never been asked whether ho wished the money to be settled; settling it was entirely wriest 11:s will. He had that day ascertained that the money paid to the ban?: was £265, but did not know before, and had never had any account of the money. He was tVld that transferring it from London to \Vimboruo coat `#,l; ISs. All he had received since the money had been sent to Wirnborne was 18s. and .C 3 ISs. 10d. another time. The £3 18s. 101, he under6tood, 'vas a half-year's interest. lie had been told that the money was to be for him for his life, and afterwards for his children. His del ts were £43 3s. 10d. lie earned on an average 119. a week. lie had a large family. Share,l I 20 8t 8t too ~• t. .-. ,~. 4-
